The control room was wide and circular with at least a thirty-foot ceiling. Twenty people sat at control consoles or studied large monitors hanging in the center of the room. The guard, Jonathan, stood with his ID badge trembling in his hands. He looked like a man on a first date that had wet his trousers.

Without waiting for an introduction, Jana blurted out, “Everyone listen up! I need your attention! F—B—I. This is a federal investigation. I need your full attention and cooperation right now. Who’s in charge here?”

“Ah, that would be me.” Allen Mize was senior operations chief and was responsible for monitoring and controlling the operation of the reactor. “Ah, what, who are you?”

“Special Agent Jana Baker, FBI. This is a federal investigation and there is precious little time. What type of nuclear material does this facility use?”

“I’m not authorized to disclose that information. Now if you’ll . . .”

Jana crunched his shirt collar in her hand and yanked him to the wall near a large digital control panel.

“Listen up, dipshit. We can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way.” Mize started to speak, but she cut him off. “The easy way is where you cooperate, and I mean, right-the-fuck-right-now. The hard way is where I toss your ass on the ground, and when you get up, you’re wearing handcuffs. Got it? I’ll ask you one more time—what type of nuclear material does this facility use?”

“Yes, ma’am. If you can be more specific in what you’re looking for, I can tell you what we use.”

Mize’s skin flushed. All the heat in his body wanted to jump ship.

“If you were a terrorist, what material from this facility would you be interested in?”

“Uranium-235. We use uranium-235. It’s the high-core type. It can be weaponized. If, if it got into the wrong hands, it would be . . . well, it’s highly enriched. It would be really bad.”

Jana said, “Has any, and I mean ANY, gone missing? Can you account for every tiny bit of the shit?”

“Well, sure. I mean, no, none of it is missing. How on earth would it go missing? This place is like Fort Knox.”

“How do you know? How do you determine the amount of uranium-235 that you have on hand?” pressed Jana.

“Agent Baker, I assure you, none is missing.”

Jana rapped the back of her hand onto his nose causing his head to recoil backwards.

“Ouch!”

“You didn’t answer my question. I don’t have time for this. Turn around, put your hands on your head, and interlace your fingers . . .”

She grabbed Mize by the shoulder and spun him into the wall.

“No, no! Wait, I’m not trying to be evasive. I . . . I . . . ouch! Damn, that hurts. No! Listen, okay. Listen. I’ll do, I’ll do whatever it takes. What do you need? There’s no need for this, please. Honest. I swear to God.”

Jana let him turn around. “I’ll ask you again. How do you know that none is missing?”

“We do an inventory.
