Chapter 12The new man strode up to Cindy, and gave her a cursory glance and then looked Jack up and down as if sizing him up. He stuck out a hand and waited.

“Agent Brett Halverson, U.S. Division, I believe you're Jack Wilde. They filled me in. Agent Hawke, it seems as though you found us a recruit.” He turned to Cindy and she noted the smirk on his face.

She wanted to swipe it off. Cindy never liked Halverson, and was tired of being pushed around by bossy men. They’d only been on one other mission together and he was an arrogant prick even then.

Straightening her spine to make herself as tall as her five-foot-three inches would allow, which wasn’t much compared to the two guys were standing not far from her, she prepared to defend her position.

“Yes. He has the training, I trust him.” She smiled, “Let’s go. I filled in Jack; he knows what he needs to do at this point. We need to get the Intel back and discover where their base is. They must be close if they were able to get here this fast.” She set her pack down and got out a map. “Where might be a good place? There isn’t much around here that has a setup ready for something as big as a base for Jaguar.” She looked up at Jack. “Is there?”

As he was studying the map he leaned down next to her and placed a hand on her back, moving his thumb along her spine.

She sensed the heat of his hand and her nerve endings began to hum, “If they needed a place to hide, that would be the perfect place.” His finger moved to the lava tunnels, “These are closed for renovation. They’re large and several miles long. Being closed they would be inaccessible to the public. They have generators already in place for the equipment and lights. It would be the perfect place. The tunnels have been closed for several months now. They’re telling the public they need reinforcements built to stabilize the tunnel walls. They’re not due to be finished until next season.”

Cindy nodded. “We can check out the tunnel. We’ll need to be careful not to raise any suspicion. Jack,” Cindy turned her head, just inches separated his mouth and hers. “Um… you know the terrain. Do you think you could get us close enough to find out what is going on?”

His eyes skimmed her face and he nodded.

“I might. The tunnel itself is a one way in deal. It's located in a small canyon area where you hike down to the entrance and stairs that actually take you into the tunnel. It’s dark, and we will need light. Lanterns are at the guidepost. We could use some of those, or pick up some flashlights on the way over. You’re going to want something that will light your immediate area, but not penetrate too far into the tunnel. We don’t want them to know we are coming.”

Halverson studied map from Cindy’s other side, “One of us will stand as scout while the other two go in.
