Chapter 2

Finn sat at the large table of the Linear Tactical conference room, arguably his least favorite place in their entire facility. He’d much rather be outside teaching one of the classes he and his partners provided here. Their years in Special Forces had taught them how to adapt, defend, and survive almost any situation. They’d used that training and knowledge to develop this company and share those same survival intelligence skills with others.

Sitting around a conference table wasn’t Finn’s forte. But for US Army Major Mark Pinnock, his former commanding officer, he would do it. No doubt the two men sitting with him, Aiden Teague and Zac Mackay, felt the same—about the man, and conference table.

“I need people who can fit in without standing out, who are smart, and who I can trust.” The major was currently stationed at Hill Air Force Base a few hours west of Oak Creek, but was working with NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense command. “You guys fit the bill for all three.”

Finn looked across the table at Aiden and Zac. All of them had served under Major Pinnock when they’d been in the Army, as had their other partners, who would be here if they were in town. Zac was here out of respect for the man, even though he was currently taking time off with his girlfriend, who was recuperating from being attacked two weeks ago.

They would all do anything for the major.

The fact that the older man had come to Oak Creek to enlist their help, rather than asking them to travel to Hill AFB, spoke to the gravity of the situation.

“As you know, after 9/11, NORAD took over monitoring any large or small aircraft entering into American airspace. We work with them on a daily basis,” the major continued. He turned to the man sitting next to him. “This is Henry Nicholson. He came to me last week concerned that his boss is selling ways to get around holes in our air defense.”

Finn nodded to the man who had been sitting silently up until now, just observing the situation. He could appreciate those who monitored and took in information before launching into speech. That was someone you wanted on your side of a battle.

Major Pinnock gestured for Henry to continue. “My evidence is not conclusive, but I discovered some pretty damning transmissions from my boss. Tracking small aircrafts in US airspace is an important part of the battle against drug, weapon, and human trafficking. Providing intel on how to avoid detection would be a valuable commodity to the right buyers.”

“And that’s what your boss is allegedly providing?” Finn asked.

Henry nodded. “Gordon Cline. Yes, I’ve tracked down some of the contacts that received the incriminating transmission from him. None are terrorists or known enemies of the US, but most are certainly criminals. Smugglers, from what I could tell. Cline should not have been in contact with these people.”

Zac turned to the major. “We’d be the first to agree this is suspicious and that you should look into it.
