CHAPTER TWENTY
Once Fatherâs signal dropped, Lyndsey returned to the laptop and spun it on the table toward Jonas.
âAre you sure youâre okay?â she asked.
âHate to admit it,â he said with a grimace, âbut not really. Itâs not the first wet work Iâve had to do, but Iâll never get used to it. Iâll also admit that, now Iâm here, hopefully itâll be my last. No one ever trained me for this. Iâm a numbers guy.â
âAnd you think a church treasurer and a priest are better equipped? Weâre right with you, Jonas. Hopefully, this will also be our last, although I suspect we should plan for one more.â
Jonas sat back in his chair and ignored the screen.
âYouâve had other orders? Another mission?â
Lyndsey shook her head.
âNo, but we know Honos is not going to leave us alone, even if we say please. Weâre going to have to find a way to dismantle the entire thing, and they donât seem like the negotiating kind.â
âHonos likes control. Nothing less.â
âThen itâll take more than raised voices and nasty looks to wrestle that away. Brace yourself for at least one more fight.â
âIf it gets us out of this mess,â said Jonas, âconsider me reluctant but braced.â
He leaned in toward the laptop.
âSo, what have you got?â
âOkay. Remember the list of names?â
âYes, the other people on Fatherâs team.â
âCorrect. While you were sleeping off your nastiness, I did a little poking around to find out who they are.â
âAnd?â
Lyndsey tapped the mouse pad.
âI found more of a âwhere they areâ instead.â
âCare to elaborate?â said Jonas.
She gestured toward the screen. A map of the world filled it, with four markers placed at different positions.
âNormally, after deployment, most folks head home, right?â
âIâd say so. Family, relationships, job offers. And most people want to be back in either familiar surroundings or around friendly faces. What are the dots for?â
Lyndsey tapped the marker closest to her.
âBrazil. Thatâs where I found Morgan Reid, the teamâs IT expert.â
Jonas shrugged.
âOkay, maybe she has family there?â
âNot that I can find. Unless sheâs dating on the quiet, sheâs still single. That being said, she has no online presence. No social media at all.â
âNeither do I,â said Jonas. âIâm not sure thatâs unusual.â
âLiam Beckett,â said Lyndsey with another screen tap. âHeâs in Spain.â
She tapped the screen twice more.
âSean Cunningham is in sunny England, and Jordan Wallbanks is here in Kentucky.â
âSeriously? A member of this dark team is in the same state as another? Is that odd?â
âNo idea. Depends on his motives, I suppose.â
Jonas stroked his chin.
âHold on, didnât you say there were seven names? Youâve only mentioned four.â
âCorrect,â said Lyndsey with a nod. âSpiritually, weâre very close to the other three.â
âDead?â
âEthan West left the service and bought himself a huge motorcycle. Itâs weird, since Father also likes his bike. Fortunately, Father doesnât wipe out on a busy highway in Los Angeles, weaving through traffic at over a hundred.â
âOuch. Iâll bet that left a mark,â said Jonas.
âNo doubt. Dan Copeland spent months in and out of counseling sessions. He never accepted everything he did and left behind a wife and two kids.
