Midnight Fury

They emerged into darkness punctuated only by headlights and gunfire. Night vis added laser sights and muzzle flare to the confusion.

Mountbatten kept moving, running into the trees. Fisher waved to him, already having set up a small firing position - he was proud to see that his men were disciplined and composed. The officer gave a short series of hand signals to Fisher, directing half his men to security and the rest to a firing line.

Fisher gave a ceasefire order. It was clearly dead.
