Chapter Twelve

Berit rolled her shoulders and stretched her neck. She’d been staring at her computer all morning, delving into the lives of her new friends. Part of her felt terrible for looking so deeply into their pasts. The other part of her knew it was her job, which demanded her to do things she really didn’t like doing.

Several things she found fascinating. Elizabeth Saint Clare was the only translator who was ever given conversations of Nassar al-Jamil. He, and his most senior men, kept her busy.

Matthew’s files left her with more questions than answers. His background looked expertly contrived. There were little telltale signs that only an experienced agent would see. Ten to twelve years ago, CIA artificial backgrounds looked very different than they do today. Thanks to computers, the Internet, and massive databanks, with just a few clicks and keystrokes, Berit could look at a copy of anyone’s second grade report card. Matthew Saint Clare didn’t have one nor was there any record of him attending the elementary school claimed during the vetting process. Only surface information was available until his accident, but even that was suspicious.

Exactly what happened was never defined. Where wasn’t either. Those blatant omissions were extremely strange given that he was supposedly one of their top assets in Syria. She was, though, able to see that he spent several months in the U.S. military hospital in Germany before being transported to Walter Reed Military Medical Center on the other side of DC. Probing deeper into the medical records, she discovered that his face was completely rebuilt by the now-famous Dr. Jessica Kessler, plastic surgeon to movie stars. She’d spent five years in the Army practicing on the worst cases imaginable. Matthew had been one of her greatest triumphs. The two had also had an affair. Actually, Matthew Saint Clare had been a bit of a horn dog, often carousing with Gabriel Davis. Their decade-long friendship rang bells of warning.

Teagan was exactly as she expected, to Berit’s relief. She truly liked the woman. Previously an Army officer, Teagan had been an excellent helicopter pilot in the Army and would have made it a career except her mother had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at a very early age. As an only child, care was left to her, so she resigned her commission and went to work for the government specializing in helicopters.

Logan and Micah were exemplary military officers. She enjoyed reading how Micah climbed the ranks and how the two had remained friends after the Syrian botched mission. She’d already explored the personal side of both and didn’t bother reading through that again.

Just to be thorough, she looked into Gabriel Davis’ files. She was surprised at the depth that her position allowed her to go. She skimmed through his vetting files and was surprised to find he had been recruited while in college by Joseph Lambert. Gabe’s first undercover job was infiltrating a group of radical Muslims on campus. She was shocked at how little information there was about those interactions, especially compared to the detailed files on most other missions.
