Wrong Mission

Here’s the beginning of my newest book, Wrong Mission. I hope you’ll all check it out. It’s one of the best entries in the series, and I think that you’ll love it!
Nathan and Sam were crouched down behind their couch waiting on the worst possible situation to come knocking at their door.
“So what’s the plan for getting out of here?” Nathan asked.
“I have no idea. I just hope that Michael and Jess get away with Emma and Evan safely. I don’t know what we would do if something happened to them.”
  “They’re going to be fine. It’s just a short distance to the water. There’s no way they won’t make it. We need to be more concerned with how we’re going to get out of this situation.”
“I know, but I don’t see an easy way out. As a matter of fact, it’s not too late for you to get away, Nathan. You should catch up with them and escape while you can.”
  “No way! I could never leave you. We’re in this together for better or worse.”
Sam wished that he would just go because she had a bad feeling about that night. As a matter of fact, she was sure that they were only going to be buying time for their children and friends to escape. Tonight was going to be the death of them, and she knew it. Just then, they heard footsteps on the front porch, and then they heard a loud bang on the door as it splintered open.
“This is it, Nathan! We have to go all out if we’re going to have any chance of getting out of here,” Sam said as she rose up from their hiding spot and picked off the first man coming through the door. Nathan quickly pulled her down into cover again. Just as he did, bullets covered the wall behind them. It was obvious that their enemies were using automatic weapons. Nathan and Sam didn’t stand a chance.
“What are you doing, Nathan? We have to do what we can to buy Michael and Jess some time,” Sam said.
“We’re outnumbered and outgunned. We don’t have a choice but to give up.”
“No, that’s not . . .” she said before Nathan cut her off.
“Trust me, Sam.”
She nodded hesitantly. Sam knew that he was right. They didn’t stand a chance in this situation, but she feared that these men might not be the merciful types.
“We’re laying down our weapons, and I’m about to stand and give up. Please, don’t shoot,” Nathan said.
He slowly got to his feet and made sure to keep his hands visible at all times. That’s when Sam heard the worst possible thing. A shot cried out, and Nathan fell to the floor. She couldn’t immediately tell, but it looked like Nathan Grey was dead!
