At the Garden Island admin block, Mark gave a bored sigh and clicked on the next employee file. About to peer at yet another photograph, he jerked upright when the mobile vibrated in his pocket. Hurriedly digging it out, he put it to his ear and announced himself.

‘Drop what you’re doing, Mark. I need you to meet us at Pearce Airbase, ASAP.’

‘Sure.’ He was already on his feet. ‘On my way.’

At the other end of the call Modeen lowered her phone and eyed Bugs and Spooky. ‘Let’s saddle up. I’ve got a C17 primed to pick us up at Pearce in two hours.’

Bugs met her gaze. ‘Given this morning’s events, is it wise to leave HQ and the Garden Island drone unguarded?’

She thought for a moment before replying. ‘I doubt they have any further interest in the other drone now they have the Pine Gap prototype, which was obviously their intended target after their efforts to steal the design blueprints failed. And setting up the dive scooters in the boathouse was clearly a diversion, to make us think they were going after the Garden Island drone. They must’ve known that drone was never fitted with the weapon, and while it’s an advanced piece of kit, stealing that model wouldn’t give them any intel on the laser system.’ She blew an audible breath. ‘So here’s where we stand right now. Jack’s gone dark, Joel’s at the safe-house, and apart from HQ’s security personnel, everyone else is working from home. I doubt the perps have any further interest in the agency either, after all their unsuccessful attempts to access the Pine Gap server through our portal. Besides, Pine Gap has closed the portal at their end, so not even Jack or Joel can login to that system at this point.’

As she rose from behind the desk, she hooked fingers under the fringe of her brunette wig, dragged it off, and dumped it on the desk. Combing fingers through her short platinum blonde hair she said crisply, ‘We need to keep our eyes on the ball and get the prototype back. So let’s head to the Gap.’

As the two men got to their feet, Spooky frowned. ‘There won’t be much happening out there now the drone’s been taken.’

‘Maybe not. ’ Her eyes narrowed. ‘But we can still hunt the Commandos that stole it.’

Bugs’ expression brightened. ‘What about the guys from this morning?’

Already making for the office door, she threw over a shoulder, ‘We’ll come back for them later.’
