CHAPTER 42

SERPENT: BRIEFING

Steel focused on the details. Danker disgusted him, but he shoved that down.

Danker pointed to a photo. “That's Gustavo Alvarez.”

Steel stiffened over hearing Alvarez’s name—the man thought to be targeting the friar, Francis Sotelo. He studied the image on the monitor, noting the half-moon facial scar.

“Don't let his size fool you.” Danker motioned. “Alvarez has killed as many men with his hands as he has with guns. He personally supervised the torture and killing of a DEA agent his men caught.”

“How do you know that?”

“Informant. Thing of it is, there's no proof. Colombian judges tend to die when they have any, and on paper Alvarez is a law-abiding Colombian.”

“How was the DEA agent caught?”

“Pretended to be a buyer and they smelled him out.”

Danker talked his way through a number of photos of Alvarez’s jungle compound, and of Alvarez’s woman, Marita Lopez.

Danker shut off the computer and leaned back in his chair. “DEA intel is that someone hired Alvarez to kill General Vegas, one of the candidates in the Mexican election.”

Steel wondered if the target was Vegas or the friar. It could be the general. Vegas wouldn’t be someone Alvarez could intimidate or bribe so the drug lord might have his own reasons to get rid of him.

Danker added, “DEA also learned that after the failed attempt to kill Vegas, Alvarez was asked to kidnap the friar Francis Sotelo to force the general to withdraw from the election. However we want Alvarez for different reasons. We have intel that Alvarez is supporting terrorists with money and logistics. Maybe he’s already planned an attack. His brother was killed by a DEA agent and he wants revenge against the U.S.

“His compound is in the Choco jungle in northwest Colombia. You would have one day to reconnoiter the place. We have to move fast.” Danker paused. “We want him alive, to get the names of his terrorist contacts here.”

Steel didn’t see that he had a choice now. It was a chance to stop terrorists and to help the friar. If Alvarez kidnapped Francis Sotelo, the Choco hideout would be a likely place to hold him. If he hadn’t yet kidnapped the friar, capturing Alvarez would help protect the friar. “Any chance he knows we're coming?”

“I've been told none. The man has a huge ego and thinks he’s invulnerable.” Danker looked at him. “What’s your decision?”

“Let's go over assignments.”

“I take it this means you're going.”

Steel avoided his eyes and grunted. “Let's get started.”
