Bolan and Osborne drank coffee in the soldier's hotel room, waiting for Kurtzman to get back to them. Osborne took a drink from his cup and winced. "You like your coffee on the strong side," he observed.

"This? I take it you never had the coffee when you took your blacksuit training." If Osborne had tasted the sludge Kurtzman called coffee, anything else would seem like brown water.

"No, I never did."

Bolan and Osborne had spent hours cleaning the bloody mess in the bathroom and had just returned from dumping the assassin's body in the Team Free Flow garage complex. Bolan had sketched in the details of his mission to the blacksuit and Osborne offered his services to help the Executioner find the plutonium. Bolan studied the man. So far he'd proven to have the strength needed to do this sort of work, both physically and emotionally, and Bolan's instincts told him the blacksuit was someone who could be trusted.

"There is something you might be able to do," Bolan told Osborne, "but it could be dangerous."

"Worse than what we've already done?"

"Much worse. If I need you for the job I have in mind, that'll mean I've failed to find the plutonium and you'll be sitting on top of a high-powered nuclear device. That would make you the last line of defense between life continuing in America as usual and something that could very well resemble Armageddon. The sensible thing for you to do would be to hightail it to someplace about two thousand miles from here."

"You're talking about my city, Cooper. I refuse to abandon her in her time of need."

Bolan looked at the man. Of course the soldier knew Osborne would not abandon his city, but Bolan had wanted to hear it from his own mouth. "Okay, I need you to go back to the city and remain ready to stop the Free Flow people from detonating the bomb if something happens to me in the next couple of days. For now you might want to go home and rest."

"It's been a long night," Osborne admitted. "It's been awhile since I pulled an all-nighter like this."

"I wish I could say the same," Bolan said. "I'll contact you as soon as I know anything."

Til say one thing about you, Cooper," Osborne said. "You don't screw around."

Osborne had barely shut the door when Bolan's phone rang. "What did you find out, Bear?" Bolan asked.

"You're not going to like what I've got to say, Striker."

"I don't like anything about this situation, so why should this be any different?"

"I've narrowed the possible destinations of the van down to twelve locations."

"Just twelve, huh?"

"I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or if you're just tired," Kurtzman said.

"Both. Can you send the locations to my GPS unit?"

"No problem."

"How about my new wheels?" Bolan asked.

"Problem," Kurtzman said. "I wasn't able to get another bike like the last one. In fact, there wasn't a motorcycle to be rented in northern California, so I had to buy one."

"What did you get?"

"I think you'll like it.
