Predator Cold War 2

"What was that?" Anatoli shouted.

Then all three men froze at the sound of tearing metal. An instant later the gleaming tip of a jagged blade punched through the door.

"But that door is steel," Anatoli said. "Ten centimeters of steel!"

All three knew that to be true; the door was a massive slab of solid metal, designed to withstand the mightiest storm-or the explosion of the pipeline itself. It didn't seem to matter; the jagged blade sliced down through the door slowly, sawing back and forth, like a knife through hard cheese.

"Schaefer, over here," Philips called.

Schaefer turned and joined the others at the door. Jagged strips and fragments of steel lay on the snow; only the hinges were still attached to the frame. Schaefer looked at those hinges, at the way they were twisted out of shape, and at the rough edges of the scattered pieces.

"This was cut with a blade," he said. "It's steel, though- you don't chop through that with a pocketknife. And the way these hinges are bent, whatever punched through here went from the outside in."-pg.383 chpt.18
