Less than five minutes after leaving Finn’s bedside, Joe was in his SUV. For a long moment he sat, staring out the window, collecting himself for what he knew he had to do. It wasn’t just that he had to bring down Finn’s torturer; that was only a beginning. To keep Finn safe, to make sure that Finn and Drew had any kind of a chance to live their lives without constantly looking over their shoulders, he was going to have to take this all the way to the top. He was going to have to go back to Pakistan, the country he’d promised himself he’d never set foot in again.

Taking a deep breath, he keyed on his earpiece. “Talk to me, Pixel. Tell me you have a track and ID on the guy we’re chasing.”

“Copy, Morrissey,” Pixel’s voice came back over the channel. “I managed to get a clear picture of him before he slipped drone coverage. There’s no record of him entering the country, at least not under his real name, but an alert from Interpol says that he’s Jalal Emani, a Pakistani national who trained with al-Qaeda. His last known whereabouts were in Pakistan, and he’s associated with the human trafficking ring that you and I both have had run-ins with.”

The information came as no surprise to Joe. He started the SUV. “Good. Send a picture of him to my phone, would you? And where did you lose him?”

“Just north of Lake Wheeler. There was a report of a stolen car in that area about ten minutes after I lost him. Police put out an APB for it, even though they weren’t sure it was him, but it was found ditched just south of Cary.”

“Got it.”

And suddenly Joe did have it. He knew where the guy was headed, knew what his plan must be. He didn’t tell Pixel, and he was sure that Finn hadn’t reported in to Herc yet. Right now he and Drew were the only ones who had the information, and Drew was safely back with Finn. That meant only Joe still had a slim chance of catching the guy before he escaped.

Without hesitation, Joe steered the SUV out onto the road and then pushed the accelerator to the floor.
