A red laser dot appears briefly on his forehead and, after a beat, the red dot seems to bleed.The Guard collapses dead. Two other GUARDS are dispatched with single, silenced shots. A Strike Team member at a junction box awaits a signal. Through infra-red binoculars the strike Force Leader watches his assault troops as they take positions.
