Haines, Lester, and Wild.

Meanwhile, at the top of the hill, all three of them stared at the screen. The soldiers with Charles carried body cams for many reasons, but right now, their purpose was to give a detailed account of what was happening inside the mansion so those outside would get a better idea.
They expected a lot of things. Heck, they'd even watched so many gruesome scenes that they simply didn't look anymore. But they didn't expect to watch Slater appear with Nathalie's men and almost get shot down.
"How did he… get in there?" Wild blurted out after moments of confusion. He turned to Haines, only to see Haines' blank expression. The latter shook his head, having no idea what Slater was doing in there.
