Chapter Thirteen

Cam trudged into his barracks in the PJ area of the SPEC OPS compound at Bagram and dropped the remainder of his gear beside his bunk. It was the middle of the night and even though he was exhausted after being out on an op for the past thirty-two hours, he knew he’d never be able to sleep. Not now.

“Hey. What’s the word?”

He turned to find Ryan Wentworth coming through the doorway. Went was dressed in full kit and his face was cammied up, ready to head out on his own mission. “No joy,” Cam said. “We were close though.” Like, less than an hour close to Jackson and the others. “Must have just missed them.”

That was the most frustrating part. The fire pits in the militant’s camp had still been warm, their cooking utensils left behind in their haste to escape. They couldn’t have gone far, yet despite the CSAR team’s best efforts and high-tech equipment, they’d managed to elude them. How the hell had they done it?

“Fuck, that sucks,” Went muttered.

“Yeah.” It weighed heavy on Cam’s shoulders. He’d already lost one of his best friends over here, at the end of last summer. He’d been part of the honor guard at the ramp ceremony and had accompanied Ty’s body home stateside. Cam never wanted to have to do that again, let alone with the guy he’d worked beside for the better part of a year now. Jackson was one of the best guys Cam had ever met. Wentworth too, despite his penchant for being a pain in the ass. “You guys heading out soon?”

“Mission brief in twenty minutes. You going out again tonight?”

“I asked my commander to let us have another go, but he shot me down until at least tomorrow night. The way things are going, it looks like I’ll be part of the rescue but not part of the search.” He wished like hell it could be otherwise.

“One of us will find them,” Ryan said, the “us” referring to one of the American units either en route or already out looking in the area where intelligence had pinpointed the prisoners’ supposed location.

Cam knew a unit would eventually find them. He just prayed they found them before the bastards who’d taken them started killing the prisoners to gain fame and political status. “Hope you have better luck hunting than we did. Thatcher’s sisters have been emailing me every few hours since they were informed last night that he’s missing.” And he couldn’t tell them a goddamn thing, due to OPSEC and a lot of other reasons. Best he could do was reassure them the American military was doing everything possible to bring Jackson back safely.

Ryan leaned against the door frame, arms crossed over his chest. “Sucks all around, man. I know they’re a tight family.”

Cam nodded. He was beat and in need of some rack time but he still planned to call Dev. He just needed to hear her voice, even though he couldn’t tell her what was going on.
