Leo's eyes swept across the place, taking in every detail. The positions of the guards. The layout of the corridor. The placement of his own men. The exits. The blind spots.
He noticed something.
The guards were coming from two main directions. The stairwell at the far end of the corridor and a side hallway that branched off to the left. They were funneling his men into a kill zone, surrounding them from both sides.
But there was a weakness.
The side hallway was narrow, only wide enough for two guards to stand side by side. If he could block that entrance, he could force the guards to come through the main corridor, where his men could pick them off one by one.
His eyes darted to the nearest supply closet. The door was slightly ajar, and inside, he could see a stack of heavy metal shelves.
He signaled to two of his men.
"You two. Block that side hallway. Use the shelves from the closet. Make it quick."
They nodded and moved immediately, their movements silent and efficient.
