Linc didn’t ask the Chairman why He snatched up the rifle, loaded a dart, and knelt behind the broken slab he’d been leaning against

He put the scope to his eye At this range, the back of Jin’s head was a pinpoint

“She’s three hundred yards away,” Linc said “That’s beyond the spec range of this rifle, but I can try”

“You’ll only get one attempt,” Juan said “If she sees a stray dart fly by her, she’ll duck down, and you won’t get another shot”

“Doesn’t matter I only have one dart left anyway”

“Then make it count We don’t have much time”

“Understood”

Linc threw soht to left He made an adjustment on the scope and lined up the shot

He held his breath and hoped that Jin didn’t er

The rifle bucked, and he saw Jin go down, but he couldn’t tell if it was because she was hit or missed

“I took the shot,” Linc said

“I saw,” the Chairman said “I’ll let you know in a couple of ot her to talk”
