CHAPTER 16

Nuremburg, Germany

SINCE MICHAELS’ INTENTIONS became clear regarding the Firestorm team, J.D. Blunt had spent his time roaming about Europe at various hideouts. Relying on his ability to remain hidden in plain sight, he rented expensive villas that would’ve presented a challenge to conquer for even the best operatives the U.S. possessed. He’d only come out of hiding to discuss some issues with Alex, choosing a secluded lifestyle for the purposes of self-preservation.

But Blunt received a message from General Van Fortner that forced him to venture out again into public, albeit in a private place.

Blunt eased into his seat in a back corner of the Zwei Sinn restaurant, one of his favorites in Nuremburg. Located less than an hour from where he was staying, the dining establishment was somewhat close to Fortner, who was serving a stint at the U.S. Army base in Hohenfels. Fortner had been adamant that their conversation needed to be had in person, if anything for protection against Michaels.

Blunt enjoyed a glass of wine while waiting for Fortner. The pair had developed a closer bond in recent years due to the challenging climate foisted upon them by Michaels’ administration. Looking out for one another was imperative for surviving in that environment.

Fortner arrived five minutes late and apologized for his tardiness.

“I owe you more than you know,” Blunt said. “If it weren’t for you, I’d probably be buried somewhere in an unmarked grave by this point. I’m happy to wait five minutes for you.”

“You’re too kind, J.D.”

“Just being honest. I am very sincere in my gratitude for how you’ve helped the Firestorm team.”

“I’m hoping that I can be of help again tonight,” Fortner said.

“So, that’s what this is about?”

“It’s not a big message, but it’s one I needed to deliver because I feel like something is going on that you might want to know about. I just couldn’t risk sending this electronically. I’m sure it would’ve been intercepted by someone.”

“That was wise,” Blunt said before taking a long pull on his glass.

“Well, what I’m about to tell you is highly classified, so please use the utmost discretion when discussing this with any members of your team.”

“We have a protocol in place to handle sensitive matters, so you don’t need to worry about that.”

“All right. Since that’s out of the way, here’s what you need to know. A group of Rangers have been deployed to the northern tip of Oman, just outside Khasab. Now, from the intel I’ve read in the past, that area is a secret rendezvous point for Al Hasib. It’s where they handle the majority of their weapons deals.”

“Sounds interesting,” Blunt said. “What’s this have to do with my team?”

“In the briefing I read, they are going not to obliterate Al Hasib but to arrest an American operative who’s been on the lam for nearly a year. I didn’t have access to the full document, but from what I read it sounded a lot like Hawk.”

“You think someone is trying to set him up right now?”

Fortner nodded.
