Chapter Ten

Frank gave Georgio a temporary code and instructions for getting in and out of the maze they’d taken to get to the bunker. Matilda stayed behind to help Frank while Georgio went up top to interface directly with Moore’s men. Once he had a better grasp of the situation outside the bunker, they’d talk about whether or not it was safer to move Frank out, now, or wait until after whatever action they planned had taken place.

Georgio went up top and signaled the leader of the Wraith team. They rendezvoused in the woods adjacent to the cabin. Frank had given Georgio instructions to an alternate exit that brought him out near the base of the mountain. It was a tight squeeze, but he managed it and marveled at how well Frank and his people had hidden various entrances to the old mine. It really was like something out of an old spy novel. Or maybe a superhero story.

The point man on this was a fellow named Arlo that Georgio knew of old. He was a werewolf, but Georgio didn’t hold that against him. He was a bit smaller than Georgio, but the man had skills. This Georgio knew firsthand.

Arlo met Georgio in the woods. Georgio didn’t see any sign of the rest of the team—nor did he expect he would. The Wraiths had earned their nickname and lethal reputation with good reason. They were silent and stealthy. Even more so than other shifters because they had each trained hard to be the best of the best at invisible infiltrations.

Some of the men had other specialist skills. Some were trackers. Some snipers. Others had underwater prowess, and many of them had skills with explosives that went beyond most experts in the field. All were expert martial artists and sharp shooters. That went without saying. All in all, Georgio respected the team, made up mostly of wolves with a few other odd shifters thrown in. They weren’t exactly like the all-bear Spec Ops team Big John Marshall had put together, but they were similar.

“Where’d you come from?” Arlo asked with a tilted grin when they met up.

“Wouldn’t you like to know?” Georgio answered good-naturedly.

“Actually, I would.” Arlo hitched his weapon higher, cradling the semi-automatic in his arms like a child.

“Didn’t Sam tell Jesse we were holed up underground?” Georgio countered, unwilling to give up all his—or Frank’s—secrets without resistance.

“Intel said a bunker, but we’ve been all over the satellite data and beats me if we can find an entrance,” Arlo admitted. Georgio smiled.

“That’s good.” Georgio was very pleased that such experts as the Wraiths could bring to bear hadn’t been able to spot Frank’s little hidey-hole. “The guy who owns this mountain will be pleased to hear that.”

“Eccentric billionaire is what Jesse said,” Arlo offered, clearly fishing for at least some tidbit of information.

Georgio took pity. “Friend of Sam’s. Guy by the name of Frank Malone. Owns a huge corporation by that name. Malone Enterprises. He’s a recluse. Claims to be unable to be around people and had this place built as a retreat from the world.
