Chapter 202

• Ignazio, Geremia, and Zello crouched down together. They weren’t professional fighters or marksmen, but they had basic combat skills.
• Geremia had never held a firearm in his life, but he had studied Krav Maga, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Muay Thai. For close-quarters combat—even though he’d never used a weapon before—he was confident he could defend himself. He chose a sharp dagger, hoping he wouldn’t have to use it. But if he were forced to take a life, as a doctor, he knew exactly where to strike.
• Ignazio and Zello, on the other hand, both had hobbies in mountain climbing, hunting, and shooting practice. They opted for pistols—which Geremia knew to be precise and powerful—and very sharp folding knives from the bag. They made sure the weapons were fully loaded and took extra rounds for backup, slipping them into their pistol pockets as if they were professionals.
