hall. Biggs identified it as Iraqi Arabic. The commotion reverberated
through the hall and seemed to be coming toward
them.
“Geez! Go, go,” Biggs called as he waved his team toward
the stairwell door now visible just steps ahead. The team descended
the stairs quickly and efficiently, Dragon covering their
six. Down two floors and through another stairwell door, the
team found themselves in a pitch-black corridor. Biggs ordered
the team to switch on the flashlights attached to their M16 rifles.
A series of reinforced vaults fronted by heavy steel doors
lined the hallway.
Biggs studied his museum map. “There is no way out of
here except back up that stairwell,” he announced. “Taylor,
Dragon you cover our six. We’ll find Cutler.” The two men set
up and readied themselves to take out anyone coming through
the door.
Biggs and the rest of the team worked their way down the
hallway and around one corner and then another. Finally, they
saw a faint light emanating from an open vault on the right.
The team positioned themselves outside the half-opened door.
Biggs signaled on three. He counted down with his fingers
three, two, one. They pushed through the door and leveled
their weapons at a line of crates near the back of the vault.
“Who’s there? I’m armed,” asserted a strong voice from
behind the crates.
“Mr. Cutler?” Biggs questioned.
“Yes. I am Cutler. Who goes there?”
“Sir, I’m Lieutenant Lucas Biggs. We’re here on orders
from CENTCOM to extract you and your contraband from the
museum. Sir, please step out in front of the crates and keep
your hands visible.”
