Left Behind: DESECRATION Chapter 15
Chloe slipped out in dark slacks and a black jacket. Besides her phone she carried an ancient Lugar she found among Rayford’s keepsakes. She had experimented with it until she figured out how to load it and work the safety. She only guessed how it might fire, but it gave her a measure of security she hadn’t known was available.
She walked five blocks in the pitch-blackness of unlighted streets and heard nary a sound. Chloe look to her left and every cross street now, imagining she was close to her target. How far off could she be? Maybe a quarter of a mile, she decided. So she went left two blocks and started looking both ways at each corner.

Rayford ascended and hovered at less than 1000 feet, just high enough to allow himself a sense of what the Global Community Security and Intelligence forces were sending their way. “George,” he said, “switch seats with Doctor Rosenweig, please.”
“What are we looking at?” Chaim asked as he settled in. Rayford told him and pointed to where the 2 other columns of tanks, armored trucks, personnel carriers, and rocket launchers peeled off to circle around the massive crowd of Israelis.
“I worry that only you Israeli believers are safe,” Rayford told him. “But are even you say outside the walls of Petra?”
“Captain, the question must be academic. Without a miracle of God, we are still hours from having more than half our people inside. How long before these attackers reach us?”
“They’re probably within firing range now,” Rayford answered. “In 20 more minutes they will all be in position. If they advance as soon as they are mustered, they would be able to fight hand to hand within 10 more minutes of that.”
“So half an hour…”
“Maximum.”
“My people are neither armed nor prepared to defend themselves. We are at the mercy of God.”
