Apollo picked his head up off the pillow. Dammit, he had heard the buzzing of an incoming call. He climbed off the sofa where he’d been lounging around watching a game on TV. Somehow, he’d managed to drift off to sleep for a few minutes. He never slept during the day. He chalked it up to getting no sleep at all with Indika in bed in the other room.

He grabbed his phone and brought it to his ear. “Apollo.”

“It’s Oz.” The gritty voice projected into his ear.

He got up and crossed to the far end of the space to get out of Indika’s earshot. The walk had tired her out, and she slipped into bed for a nap, but that didn’t mean she’d actually fallen asleep.

When he’d made contact with Oz and asked him to dig up more on the names he’d shared with Indika back in the ICE office, his contact immediately agreed.

“Talk,” Apollo said to his contact.

“We dug up some dirt on your guy.”

“I’m listening.”

Oz was a retired Navy SEAL. He ran a group of undercovers known as The Guard. Apollo had learned about Oz through a guy who knew another guy, and that led to a friendship. Oz had gotten him things whenever he needed it—supplies, weapons and intel. The top items of trade to someone who was deep ops.

“Raheem recently traveled back to Nigeria on Monday. He returned to the US on Tuesday. You were right about him rallying for power. It seems he brought a few friends into the country with him.”

“Any names?”

“False ones.”

Apollo let out a groan. How people managed to get through airport security and customs with false identities nowadays never failed to surprise him.

“We’re running their images through the program, but no hits as of yet.”

“I know a person in ICE. I asked her for help already, but something…came up. I’ll see what else I can do to persuade her to find out more,” Apollo said.

“We’ll keep monitoring the situation. I’ve got a guy trailing them, and I’m letting the reports slip to Blackout like you asked.”

Apollo pinched the bridge of his nose. Running solo and taking matters into his own hands had earned him plenty of distrust from Blackout and from Indika. But what choice did he have? Feeding information to the team was the only way he could help. What man on Blackout wouldn’t take the same course?

Oz understood his reasons and jumped to help the minute Apollo proposed they work together.

“You sure you don’t want to go more direct with your plan?” Oz’s question was a small earthquake that shook loose his resolve. Was he doing the right thing?

As if he hadn’t been asking himself the same damn question for three long years.

A low rustling noise, almost undetectable to an untrained ear, reached him from Indika’s bedroom.

“I’m certain,” he told Oz with a note of conviction in his tone he wasn’t sure he believed himself. “Stick to the plan. Keep me posted.”

“Will do. Watch your six.” Oz ended the call without waiting for more.
