Chapter 19

“Brusco.”

“’Bout damn time you contacted me. It’s been ten days without a word from any of you.”

“You know how it can be. This is the first chance we could get to a secure line.” Stryker rubbed his eyes wearily.

“Good to hear your voice. How’s the progress?”

“We’re in. I’ve got several names I need you to run to find out exactly what we’re up against.”

“Sure thing, boss. Fire away.”

“Antonio Fernandez. Hector Cruz. Raul Ortega. Juan Alamedas. Castro Gamboa. Franco Morales. Those are the top leaders in the organization.”

“So you met the capo already?”

“No. He’s a very reserved man and reclusive, and from what we’ve learned, hardly any of the lieutenants spend time with him. But we know his location, and we now know where his main hub is. We need you to check the area via satellite and see if it is transmitting data. He’s having a meeting with all of his lieutenants tomorrow night. We need to know everything pertinent so Buzz can locate their transmission room and get as much data downloaded as quickly as possible. We need to know the facility layout, any movement in or out of the place over the next twenty-four hours—anything and everything you can dig up.”

“Yes, sir.” Brusco’s fingers were already flying over the keyboard in their communications room. “How are all three of you holding up?”

“We’re fine. All is running smoothly. How…how are things there at the ranch?”

“Good. Cattle seem to be developing just fine, and Snap and Santo have been diligent about checking on them.”

Stryker’s hand tightened into a fist as he hesitated over his next question. “Anybody seen Anya?”

Brusco was silent for several long moments. “She may be a problem.”

“What do you mean? What happened to her?” Stryker’s heart rate kicked up. If something happened to her while he was gone, he would do everything in his power to get back to her.

“This is probably best discussed when you get home.”

“Is she safe? Brusco, you need to tell me what has happened.”

“She’s safe. But she’s going to be a problem.”

Ice settled in Stryker’s stomach. “What do you mean?” All emotion had left his body. He was numb. He was prepared for anything. He was dying a slow death. Hell, he didn’t know what he was anymore.

“She turned up here at the house a few days back. Someone sent her the same photos that were sent to you. And whoever sent it also sent it with the cartel pictures. There’s a leak somewhere, and whoever this dick is, he’s causing a major problem.”

“What did you do when she showed up?”

“We had to take the necessary precautions. She asked for you first, and wanted to talk to you about everything. Don’t know what kind of spell you cast over her, boss, but—”

“What the hell did you do?” This time there was emotion. There was anger. There was fear. There was need. Buzz and Phantom cut him a sharp look, and both of them became tense, but he signaled for them to relax.
