Outside, the snowmobiles could now be heard by everbody, and after a few seconds, slowed to a stop in front of the house.
Listening in on his radio, Cade was able to pick up activity on a frequency and listened in on a radio transmission. "Your little pet failed, boss," a man said, with a thick, French accent. "We'll finish the job for you, but it'll cost you double."
"We got maybe five minutes before the ritual's ruined," Z told Meredith, as the last surviving Secret Service agent nodded at her, and hustled the Senator away from the front of the house.
Outside, there was suddenly the sound of heavy automatic weapons fire, as several AK-74s opened up, smashing bullets into the side of the team's van, shredding the tires and wrecking the engine.

"Five minutes sounds like a long time right about now," Meredith grumbles.
"I'm going to stay with the Senator. My sword's nothing special against regular humans and guns, but my shield might save him if they get past you guys."
With that she ran after the Senator and his bodyguard. When she caught up she asked, "Is there a basement we can get to from inside? Something that has limited access the others can defend."

"I'm pretty sure the agents had a panic room selected or installed," shouts Cade over his shoulder. "Unless they're idiots. It'll be a location with extremely controlled access points, one...maybe two, at the most...with strong walls and doors. Get to it and have Z text me the location."
While he's talking, Cade quickly shuffles the ammunition in his gun, so the next four shots are all White Phosphorus. It is obvious that he's not making to move from his location, yet.
"I wanna give the Frenchie a warm, Irish welcome, so I'm gonna wait until they're closer to the van and then I'm gonna fill the tank full of Willy Pete," states Cade with a devilish grin on his face. "It might not stop them, but if the 'verse is kind, it'll slow 'em down and take a few with it."
"I'll be right behind you, okay? Ain't pullin' a Butch and Sundance here, trust me...so get going, all of you."

While regular bullets don't make tanks go boom, white phosphorus does. Once Cade drops his rounds into the van, he's going to beat cheeks to the holding point, hoping that this delaying tactic works.

"The safe room's in the basement!" the agent told the team, hustling the senator down the stairs
Outside, six men in body armor, winter gear and ski masks were slowly advancing towards the house, holding AK-74s, with three snowmobiles parked off in the distance. Obviously these were part of Haight's backup plan. As the passed by the shattered remnants of the team's van, Cade fired from the dining room window.
The WP shell hit the leaking gas on the snow, passing through and hitting the ground before it detonated, quickly melting the snow and igniting the gasoline in a crimson spark standing out in contrast against the white. Quickly, it burned back up towards the leaking gas tank.
The leader of the commandos looked at the burning trail of fuel as he hit ground, he and the rest of the team diving for cover around the van as they heard the shotgun blast. His eyes widened, and he uttered a single word.
"Merde."
The fire hit the gas tank, which then reacted as chemistry dictated it would. There was a massive explosion, and the whole van detonated in a ball of fire, as all the front windows of the house were shattered in the blast. Cade dove for cover, ducking just a piece of sharpnel flew threw the air above his head, embedding itself in the wall.
The French commandos lay motionless on the ground outside, when Cade looked up to see the outcome of the detonation, except for the leader, who was slowly trying to crawl his way back towards to the snowmobiles, leaving a trail of blood, and making the scene looking slightly surreal in the glow from the burning van.

"That, my dear, was a Gaelic Hello, and they're down," shouts Cade in response to Meri. However, Cade's focus is out the window, toward the crawling leader, and he shouts out, "You've got one chance, surrender or be past tense, which is it?"
As Cade says that, he aims his sidearm at the man, letting the flickering laser sight land on the snow in front of the man, so as to let him know he means business.
