Families huddled in the trees at the edge of the shoreline. Guillermo moved from cluster to cluster, whispering words of encouragement and making sure that blankets and water were appropriately distributed. He tickled a small girl behind her ear and whispered something that elicited a smile. Bullet-Proof glanced at his watch.
"Still another hour," said Courage from his position watching a flank.
"Yeah," replied Bullet-Proof, brushing away a mosquito.
"Engines," whispered Pathfinder.
Courage tilted his head and made out the faint sound of motors in the distance. He glanced over at Guillermo.
"Keep everyone quiet."
He glanced around at the trees. In the dark they increased potential for confusion.
"Keep your men back as the last line of defence. You," he pointed to Long Arm. "Take up a position here. No locals go past you. We'll clear our return through you so we don't get shot by mistake. And keep the Christina updated."
Long Arm and the armed Cubans nodded. Courage waved the other Joes forward into an extended line.
"More vehicles," whispered Pathfinder, pointing in a different direction.
Courage assigned arcs.

Shockwave opened the Fiat's door and stepped out, stretching his bulky shoulders.
"I'm sure I saw lights up ahead."
"Me too," said Claymore, playing with a toothpick. He flicked the stick to the ground and raised NVGs.
"Movement front," he whispered, pointing.
"Over there too," replied Shockwave.
Shots rang out and the two groups started exchanging fire.
"What the hell?!"
----
"Hold your fire," hissed Courage, listening to the exchange of shots.
"No cracks," muttered Pathfinder, referring to the sonic crack of bullets passing overhead.
"They're not shooting at us."
"Rival gangs?" asked Bullet-Proof.
Courage crawled higher on the knoll, trying to get better visibility. Scattered cloud cover blocked the moonlight, adding to uncertainty.
"Hold position."
___
"Those are Sombreran SF battle drills," whispered Claymore.
"I'm sure those are police SUVs," replied Shockwave.
"Think it's a mistake or an intentional fight?"
"With these guys it could be both."
Claymore chuckled, and turned to Shockwave.
"I have an idea," he said, grabbing chemical lightsticks and his night vision goggles. "How's your voice?"
He wound his way through trees, activated a chemical light and shoved it in his pocket. He took off his NVGs and hung them backwards from a branch, two green circles of light penetrating the gloom.
"Sing like a werewolf," said Claymore.
"What?"
"Remember asking me about voodoo? Sing like a werewolf."
Shockwave cleared his throat and sang through a warm up scale.
"Louder."
Shockwave repeated the scale. Firing died down, then both groups started firing towards the points of light. Claymore pulled out the chemlight, slashed it with a knife, and sprayed the glowing liquid on a tree trunk. Shockwave increased his pitch and cut off the sound as Claymore snatched the NVGs from the branch. They fanned out, flipped both their sets of NVGs backwards towards the Sombrerans, flashing two new sets of moving green eyes. Shockwave started singing again at a lower pitch. More shots rang out, followed by panicked voices. Car doors slammed, engines roared, and vehicles bounced over the muddy roads, fleeing the area.
"I can't believe that just happened," muttered Shockwave.
___
"What the hell just happened?" asked Wide Scope.
Courage opened his mouth and closed it. He scanned the area.
"I don't know. Keep watching your arcs."
He crawled back to Long Arm, who held up the radio.
"Christina is in position and has launched both boats."
"It's going to take at least an hour to ferry everyone aboard. You take Anderson on the first run. We'll be on the last.”
Long Arm nodded.
