The radio lit up again as Bo pushed the PTT, "Alright, we´ve been made. Don´t know by whom but we´re marked."
Of course it was a little exaggerated but non the less true, common sense would dictate to hide, probably as deep as possible underground as the city was bombarded. Or evacuate if possible. Not to stand on a elevated position, looking for incoming vehicles. Partially it was his fault, nobody sane would drive into a city that was under siege, unless of course they had some sort of business there. Yet it had been the fastest option, plus as soon as they would´ve been in the vehicles would work as perfect cover up.
Chance, that´s the thing that decided everything and by chance they´ve been made in the suburbs of the city. 4 Miles out of the AO.

"This is Melnikov. Fauda, I reapeat, Fauda."
The reply took only a few seconds.
"You heard right, I need all the CIA access codes and passwords right now."
"I know about OPSEC. If you want the data out we still need the access codes."
"Listen, I don´t have to time to work door after door if we got imminent contact."
"Well tell that attache from Langley to get the broom out of his ass. If he won´t comply we´ll just break contact and leave the intel on site, just like OUR protocol tells us to. After all keeping the unit secret is more important than doing the CIA a favor."
"Fine, our sincere thanks then. We´ll follow protocol."
He hung up, more determined than agitated. Stored the phone back in a pouch,pressed his PTT again.
"We´re getting access codes on site...if we require them. We´ve got a real dick as an attache, if we take contact or run out of resources to proceed we´re pulling back."
