CHAPTER 29

CHICKSANDS RAF. MORNING.

Yank was the worst off. He’d sustained a concussion and had trouble coming to. There were no bruises or contusions, but he couldn’t explain what happened.

Sassy Moore’s migraine was so bad, she could barely open her eyes, brought on by the vicissitudes of astral combat. She claimed that she had fought and defended herself against no fewer than five warlocks. She held a long package to her chest that Laws was pretty certain she hadn’t had at the start of the mission.

Ian had two black eyes from where he face-planted on the ground.

With the exception of exhaustion and a few contusions from flying granite, the others were fine.

After conducting a three-hour surveillance detection route, including three changes of vehicles, they made it back to Chicksands. Ian got them through the gate, and they were soon pulling into the hangar and unloading their gear. The SEALs and men of Section 9 had already broken down their weapons and cleaned them. All they needed to do was add a light coat of oil and wipe the weapons down once more.

But that would have to wait.

They had company.

Hoover stood, head low, growling at a well-dressed hulk of a man standing between two bodyguards and with three more arrayed behind them. They each had enough goon genes in their DNA that they could have been related. The central man’s demeanor was anything but calm. His hands strangled invisible children while his face threatened to transition from red to purple.

“Do you realize the damage you did? You broke a dinosaur skeleton!”

Ian and Holmes exchanged glances. Ian turned to the man and sighed. “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

“You don’t—” He seemed to get some control. “Hundreds of thousands of euros in damage and the loss of priceless artifacts. Do you realize that those bones were given to Queen Victoria by the Crown Prince of Prussia?”

“Must have been someone else, Sir Robert.” Ian turned to head toward the back of the hangar.

“Don’t turn your back on me.”

Two of his men drew Glock pistols from shoulder holsters.

They shouldn’t have.

The SEALs brought their rifles up at once and began to create separation between themselves and their targets. Trevor paused a moment, then joined them.

Soon all five goons had pistols trained on the SEALs and stepped in front of the man Ian had called Sir Robert. The SEALs had realized he must have been the Member of Parliament Ian had told them about.

It might have remained a standoff, but they forgot to account for Genie during the fracas. Laws watched stone-faced as he came up behind the MP and placed a pistol barrel to the side of his head.

“Drop your weapons or the white guy gets it!”

The goons stepped aside and stared at the African-American squid with a gun to their boss’s head.

“We’re all white, asshole,” said Sir Robert. “Now let me go.”

“Maybe that’s your problem. You had a brother with you, he’d have watched your back.”

Trevor and Walker collected the guards’ weapons and tossed them into the back of their SUV.
