CHAPTER 10

SHANK

Everything is in place and we’re ready to rock. We gave Howell a GPS marker and the munitions were dropped off on the island by parachute within a couple of hours. In turn, he let us know that the rendezvous with the kidnappers is set for 5 p.m. tomorrow afternoon. The location is a barn on a remote farm outside the city of Algiers. We told him we didn’t need anything else from him since we have all our own equipment.

John Dough made good on his promise that the CIA would supply everything we needed. In fact, the man is like a magician with a bottomless hat. Whatever we asked for, we got, and then some.

Jax, Nathan, Sal, and I are being flown in on one of the CIA’s stealth aircraft. The four of us are going to parachute down within range of the rendezvous point and the crates with the munitions will be parachuted down at the same time. We will go on foot from the dropoff point. Each of us will be fitted with a tracker and an earpiece before we jump, and the crates containing the munitions have been fitted with microscopic tracking devices as well.

Smitty and Scotty are with John Dough on a different plane on their way to a location in Algiers from where they will do surveillance and keep in touch with us. As soon as the munitions have been delivered and Storm has been handed over, CIA operatives will move in and get her out while we go after the munitions and do the cleanup.

That’s the plan, but previous experience has proven that’s most likely not how it’s going to be. With the faction wars going on in Algiers right now, the area is extra hot, and we’ve got to be ready for anything.

Algeria is five hours ahead of Puerto Rico and if things go as planned, we will be parachuting down at around 2 p.m. Algiers time. It’s going to be at least an hour’s hike from the dropzone to the farm since we’ll be carrying the two crates with us. That gives us two hours or so to survey the area, and for us, that’s enough. We’ve gone in with a lot less time than that.

When we left, Jelena hugged Jax tight and the two of them held onto each other for several moments before he pulled away from her and joined us in the Jeep that was taking us to the plane. It’s Jax’s first mission since he married Jelena and I could see it was hard for them to say goodbye. When you’re doing the kind of work that we do, and you’re in a relationship, it makes things complicated. I suppose that’s one of the reasons why most SEALs just stick to one-night stands and casual relationships. They say that once your heart gets involved, it can easily cloud your judgment. I can sure as hell attest to that now.

I’ve been trying to condition myself to think
