Jaak, Henry, and Ross got off a call with Jared, where he told them about the failed re-taking of the Federal Government, and the setup at the hot zone base in Manhattan.

“This doesn’t surprise me,” Ross said. “There should’ve been more military action.”

“Well, better to know,” Jaak said. “I was going to hold off going after the remains of the university recruitment operation. We need to move forward on that as soon as possible. Henry, heard anything from Jay Green?”

“Not yet,” Henry said. “I planned on calling him after this meeting.”

“I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop,” Ross said. “What about that attack on Brussels? Are they going to let that go?”

“They might,” Henry said. “We’ve got a tit for tat situation there.”

“I wonder if they know,” Jaak said. “The EU might not be as close to the action in the US as we’re thinking. I smell Mateo, and Daan Mertins.”

“What about Saladin?” Ross asked.

Jaak chuckled. “Saladin can’t find his ass with both hands. He’s lost the entire west coast, and he’s screwed up here too. I’m surprised the enemy leadership hasn’t eliminated him.”

Henry’s phone rang. He looked at the number… it was Jay Green. He answered it, having a hushed conversation, then put the phone in front of him and hit the speaker button. “It’s Jay Green.”

Jaak and Henry stopped chatting, looking over at Henry. “Go ahead,” Jaak said.

Henry nodded. “So there were some new people with Professor Alonzo, you were saying?”

“Yes. I’m not so sure it’s all roses for him, though. He was having an argument on the phone when I got to class last night. I figured it was about the EU navy battle and President Borden’s arrest. Oh, and I heard about the attack on Brussels when I was there. Was that us?”

“We’re not sure,” Jaak said. “Sounds like B21s were used to deliver the bombs, but intel is saying that they dropped the same weapons the EU navy used against Halifax and Boston.”

“You just got that?” Ross asked.

“Yes, text just now,” Jaak said. “This whole thing stinks to high heaven.”

“I think Alonzo is scared,” Jay said. “He’s getting squeezed by somebody, and in turn he’s squeezing us. Tried getting heavy handed last night. Several of his students left. One of them was Josh Cane.”

“The football star?” Henry asked.

“Yeah, they were holding his scholarship over his head. He snapped last night, said that he’d never have a pro career now. Said he wasn’t sure whether to beat Alonzo to death or just leave.”

Ross laughed. “Always liked watching him. Now I respect him for other reasons. What’s he gonna do?”

“He said he planned to join the resistance,” Jay said. “I hope he’s careful. Nice guy, outstanding football player. Not that bright.”

“Steer clear of him,” Henry said. “So you think Alonzo is gonna ramp up?”

“Yeah. I’ll be honest with you guys… I’m almost at the end of my rope. Might be time to disappear.”

“We won’t need you much longer,” Henry said. “It’s time to bring Mr. Alonzo and his team to a violent end.
