“Callan sucked in a breath. As a sniper, he’d been trained by the Marines to know and recognize moments.
Moments when all the training—his focused mind, muscle memory, weapon knowledge . . .

When everything came together in one crucial moment—when the sniper squeezed the trigger and took his shot.”
