It was raining in Port St. Loren, heavily. Rainwater cascaded down gutters and flooded the empty streets that looked like small rivers. In the rain darkened half light, hunched silhouettes flashed in and out of sight among the crates of the docks.
A four-person team of Rebels stalked a Police Sentry Patrol. The pair kept perfect time as they disappeared into the shadow of two large crates. Behind them, the Rebels pounced, using silenced weapons to cut them down. The bodies were swiftly hidden away.
---------
High over the city, atop the cliffs that overlooked all around, two towers stood vigil. At the top, Police watched the rain pelted sea. The sound of the rain drowned everything out, and they didn't hear the door open behind. Two "phuts" were unheard against the rain, as the sentries slumped. Another appeared and attempted to fight, but a figure appeared behind and the last Sentry was gently set down, writhing quietly, a knife protruding from its back.
Two of the Rebels hunched in whispered converation.
"How long do we have?"
"One minute."
"Okay."
One of the figures stood up, nodding to a third. They fanned out looking for the lamp switch. Forty seconds later a voice sounded out, "Found it."
Twenty seconds after that, the watch-tower lamp fired up, its halogen bulb and lenses sending a bright spear of light into the rain-swept darkness. Almost silmoultaenously, the second watch-tower light did the same, scouring the darkness.
