Jack was the first to arrive in the conference room. He eased into the comfortable leather chair and ran his hand along the grain of the mahogany table. The TV and other equipment the SOS Dallas Force used to communicate with their D.C. unit as well as Ash Cunningham, one of their consultants in Alaska, was all top-of-the-line, provided by Taylor Communications. The conference room was part of the lavish and very secret headquarters that had been remodeled specifically for their needs. While some of the members chose to continue living in their own homes, Jack had opted for the rather nice apartments that had been made a part of the complex as well. Everything he could have possibly needed was there.

It was an opulent lifestyle compared to how he’d lived when he was working overseas. Jack had slept inside tents that were so constantly battered by the wind, they might have blown away at any second. He’d huddled in dark corners to catch a few moments of shuteye before jumping back to his feet to fight the enemy or help a prisoner escape. Even on the rare occasion when he’d managed a night in one of the reinforced tents on a base, he still had to worry about scorpions and other unwelcome critters wriggling into his bed. He’d eaten more MREs than he cared to remember, and he’d sampled some very questionable foreign food that he’d rather not know the actual ingredients of. All in all, he’d left a rough, seat-of-his-pants type of life that was hard to imagine going back to.

“You all right?” asked a low, twangy voice that jerked Jack out of his reverie and back into the present moment. “You look like you found a hole in your pasture fence.” Vance was a rancher outside of his work with the Dallas Force, and if Jack hadn’t already known, he’d have been able to tell by the dirt around the hems of his black Levi’s and the scuffs on his Ariats.

“Yeah, I’m fine. Just thinking.”

“Must be some heavy stuff.” Vance stepped over to a side table and poured himself a cup of coffee. “Need a little something to give your brain a boost?” he asked, gesturing to the pot.

“No, thanks. I’ve had enough for the day.” And he truly had. He’d slowly sipped a cup as he got ready that morning, and he’d had several more while he brooded over his options. By the time he’d gotten into the conference room, he could already feel the caffeine thrumming through his veins, and it hadn’t done a thing to help him with this decision.

Max strode in just then, holding out his travel mug. “I’ll gladly take a fill-up,” he said with a grin. “It’s been one hell of a night. Did you hear about that traffic accident out on 114? I was working it.”

Vance shook his head. “I’ve never seen anyone so happy about a car wreck.”

“You’re just pissed that no one uses horses for transportation anymore,” Max teased.
