Chapter Seven

“They’re not going to give him back even if they get paid,” Chase said as Erin put an arm around a stunned Sarah. “Doesn’t matter if Walter does what they want.” He looked at Riley. “You know that, Dave. Cutting off body parts is a road they’re not coming back from.”

Riley sighed, but he nodded in agreement. “We’ve got to get him. Tonight. But we have no real proof they’re holding him on that island.”

“The package came out of FedEx in Savannah,” Chase pointed out. “Which means Cole has to be close. He wouldn’t keep him in his club.”

“We need to do a recon,” Riley said. He nodded toward Kono. “Can you do one?”

Kono nodded.

Chase continued. “But we’re going to need more than our combined brain power”—Erin snorted—“to do this. We need weapons.”

“We might be able to help with that,” Gator said.

“‘We?’” Riley asked.

“Kono and I,” Gator said. “We’ve squirreled away a gun or two for a rainy day.”

“It’s storming,” Riley said.

“We will look at the Russian base, and then get weapons,” Kono said.

“We need to do this right,” Riley said. “We need a team leader.”

Everyone looked at him, and he shook his head. “Chase has more rank than me.”

“Had,” Chase said. “We’re not in the Army anymore. You know the area.”

“Kono knows the area best,” Riley said, but it was a weak protest at best. What was more to the point was experience. “I’ve been a team sergeant and a team XO. You’ve been team leader in both SF and Delta, right?” he asked Chase.

Chase nodded.

“Let’s stick with what we’re comfortable and experienced with,” Riley said. “You’ve got command, I’ve got your back. I’ll be team sergeant.” He looked over at Gator. “You all right with that, Ranger?”

Gator nodded. “Sure thing, top.”

Blood was seeping out of the sutures on Chase’s forehead. “If I’m in charge, then everyone does what I say. Is that clear?”

He looked around the bedroom.

Gator flipped a half-assed salute. “Yes, sir.”

Riley nodded. “It’s for the best.”

Erin was putting a bandage on Sarah’s shoulder. “Sure. I’ve got lots more bandages and sutures.”

Tears stained Sarah’s face, and it was obvious she was in pain from the flesh wound, but she tried to give a brave smile. “Whatever you need. I owe you everything.”

Kono was standing in the corner, arms folded. When Riley looked at him, he nodded. “As long as we kill some Russians, yes, man.”

Chase glanced at his watch. “It’ll be dark in two hours. We’ve got a lot to do.”

And then he began asking questions to get an idea of the capabilities and resources of the team he had just inherited.

He listened, processing the information.

And then he began issuing orders.
