Chapter Fifteen

Director Benjamin Clark of Enigma considered his people some of the best in the country when it came to problem solving a national security issue. Since President Buck Austin took office, they had been given access to impossible scenarios needing a quick and speedy solution. Special Forces were needed for big ops, and other agencies covered things allowed under the law. Enigma wasn’t bound by the law because, technically, they didn’t exist. Their funding came from private individuals who desired solutions to insure economic stability in the world. Director Clark didn’t have to tiptoe around Congress and plead for support or money.

He caught a glimpse of his reflection in the window overlooking the campus of Sacramento’s University of Science and Technology. His short-cropped hair glowed more white than gray these days. Most men with such responsibility developed health issues or their appearance changed markedly, as exhibited by the US presidents when they left office. Benjamin Clark wasn’t one of those. If anything, he thrived on the ability to solve conflict and make the world a better place as long as the United States benefited from it. Running his hands down the front of his navy-blue suit then taking a deep breath, he faced Captain Chase Hunter’s team.

“You’re going to tell Tessa about Robert.” Ben didn’t like keeping her in the dark even though she might come unhinged when she found out her husband wasn’t the saint she told them about.

“Tell me what?” Tessa entered the conference room, balancing a stack of folders and a vanilla latte she’d bought on her way in. She eyed the group sitting at the table and reached up to rub her temples. “No one is making eye contact with me except Sam, so this can’t be good.”

Ben rolled out his chair and sat down, extending his hand toward an empty chair next to him. “Sit. Chase can fill you in later.” He silenced Sam’s snide chuckle with one of his angry glares. The woman might be enjoying this turn of events too much. “Where is Mr. Jones, Chase?”

“My guys have him next door.”

“Excellent. Let’s begin. Tessa, what do you have for us? I trust the children had no lasting effects after your close call the other night.”

“They’ve already moved on. Sean Patrick thinks he wants to go into law enforcement, and Daniel has gone back to snooping on the school principal.” Ben’s eyebrows went up. “But I totally disconnected him. Promise,” she insisted as she raised her hand in some kind of show of surrender. “Heather is a little clingy, but she is a mommy’s girl anyway.”

“Glad to hear it. What do you have for us?” Ben took the folder she handed him then passed the stack along to the others. He felt a little amused at the pastel coloring of the folders since everything else connected to Enigma bordered on being invisible, including file folders.

“This is some information about the current situation with the mining industry in southern Africa. I focused on Botswana
