Pain seared through his left ankle as he put weight on it. He listed to the side, throwing out a hand to wedge it against the rocky wall of the cliff face. As the gritty surface abraded the skinned flesh on the heel of his hand, he sucked in a breath.
Sinking into a crouch, he extended his injured leg in front of him and surveyed the rocky expanse below. Even with two steady legs, hydrated and nourished, this landscape would pose a challenge to navigate. Parched, weakened by hunger and with a bum ankle, he didnât stand a chance.
He eyed the gray skies, scuffs of cloud rolling across the expanse, promising rain and reliefâand more challenges. He dragged his boot over the rocks coated with dirt. Once the rains started, rivulets of water would wash the grit from the stones, joining forces in a muddy stream, making his path to the bottom of the mountain a slipperyâand dangerousâproposition.
Heâd already witnessed one of his men take a tumble down the side of a mountain. Had Knight survived that fall? If he knew anything about his Delta Force team, heâd lay odds on it. But even if Asher Knight had made it through, the men who had double-crossed them wouldâve finished off Knight.
They wouldnât have left any witnesses.
He took a deep breath and swiped the back of his hand across his mouth. âDid you think it was gonna be easy going AWOL in Afghanistan in the middle of enemy territory, Denver?â
His voice sounded rusty to his own ears, but it was strong enough to startle a bird from its hiding place. The bird scuttled and flapped before taking wing and soaring up to those threatening clouds. He watched its ascent with something like envy roiling in his gut.
