Predator Stalking Shadows 10

"With one final glance around, Dutch
gave the signal and they began to move.
The attack came from nowhere. No sooner had they broken cover than a lightning bolt shot down from the trees on their left and hit an abandoned jeep between Pablo and another of Dutch's team, a guy called Jameson. The jeep erupted, spewing fire and sending lethal shards of spinning metal in all directions. One of those shards, about the size of a dinner plate, hit Pablo with enough force not only to knock him off his feet, but to slice through his body armor and his shoulder, opening up a gash deep enough to chip the bone. Pablo flew through the air like a kid hit by a car, and landed on his head with enough force that his skull would have shattered if he hadn't been wearing a helmet. As it was, he was knocked cold and came to rest on his front, his nose smashed up, minus several teeth, and his shoulder wound gushing blood. Jameson, who had half-turned toward the vehicle as it exploded, was hit by a flying tire, which ricocheted off the side of his chest, snapping several of his ribs. Like Pablo, he was thrown backward and hit the ground with enough force that he was instantly knocked cold. Dutch and the rest of his men scattered like ants whose nest has been attacked."pg.86 chpt.4
