“There’s evidence someone has been here recently.” One of the agents stationed in Kandahar knelt and examined the floor at a certain spot. Though it was barely midday, the underground bunker was pitch dark inside. Someone connected a flood light that filled the twenty by twenty space with light.

Agent Sheridan studied something on the dirt floor.

Michael knelt next to him. Half a dozen dark blotches the size of pennies covered the floor. “Is that?”

“Blood,” Agent Sheridan confirmed. His gaze went to the ceiling and Michael’s followed. “Someone was tied here. See the rub marks left from the rope?”

Michael did. “How long ago? Is there any way of telling?”

Khalid knelt next to them and dabbed his finger onto one of the dark dots. He rubbed it between his thumb and finger. “I’d say the blood is only a few days old.”

“Do you think she’s still alive?” Michael directed the question to the one person he sort of trusted.

Khalid’s gaze fell on him. “Maybe when she left here. There’s not all that much blood. Not enough to be the result of a fatal injury.”

Michael got to his feet. “Do you still believe they would take her to Ulziheir?”

“If they are al-Qaeda, then yes. It makes the most sense. They’d be safest there,” Khalid told him.

Michael tried to think. What would Booth do in this situation? The answer came to him as clear as if Booth had spoken it. Go after her. Bring her back if possible. No matter if it cost him his life.

“Can you get me in there?”

Khalid’s stony expression gave nothing away. “Do you have any idea what you are asking? The danger?”

“I’m not asking you to come with me. I need to find a way in. Tell me where you think they’d hold her. That’s all I’m asking.”

After a moment, Khalid agreed. “I’ll help you only if I can come along. In good conscience, I cannot send you out there alone. You would not survive.”

“Thank you, but this is no longer your problem. I’ll bring Sam and the two agents with me.”

Michael moved to pass him, but Khalid blocked him with his body. “Let me ask you this, do you trust them?”

Trust. The only person he trusted beyond himself and Booth was Sam. Slowly, he shook his head. “Not entirely. I don’t know the two men with us. Sam, I’d trust with my life.”

“Then he is the only one we will take. And if you want to bring her back alive, you will not let the other two know where we are going.”
