Gareth watched from the window of 607 as Cole's six men came out of the stairwell and began moving through the sixth–floor hallway with an uneasy expression.
Damon was beside him, with Fetch and Caro behind, and Wren was on the counter, all of them watching the hallway through the gap in the apartment door.
"They're seven," Damon said quietly.
"Yes," Gareth confirmed.
"All military trained?"
"Adjacent," Gareth said, which was the same word Cole had used downstairs without Gareth hearing it, the both of them arrived at the same assessment from opposite sides of the gate.
Damon looked at Gareth. "This changes things."
"Yeah I guess," Gareth said. "That's the point."
He watched Cole's men move through the hallway.
"Within an hour of them arriving," Damon said.
"He made us wait in the lobby for thirty minutes before he showed us a stairwell," Fetch said from behind them.
"He made us clear three floors first," Caro said.
