"We outnumber them. If they go back for reinforcements we'll have time to move. We have the advantage and if we don't give them something they won't bargain and people are going to die.

Ashton considers for a moment before shaking her head. "All right. We play it this way."

Kian nods and opens the door, stepping outside.
