After hiding the jeep in a ravine, Annie and her two escorts trekked for half a mile of thick brush and what passed for a forest in this part of the world, paralleling the dirt road that led to Enitan’s encampment. The scrub didn’t provide much cover, but the growing shadows of sunset helped conceal their position. The sky turned a dark red and the sound of crickets chirping grew ever louder. Nighttime in Africa was quickly approaching.

Annie looked through her high-end infrared binoculars at the walled encampment. It reminded her of what Connor had described as an FOB—a forward operating base. About half a mile across, and though the wall wasn’t particularly high, maybe six feet, the entrance was guarded by a twenty-foot-tall watchtower. Even from this distance she could smell the smoke of cooking fires, and hoped that the camp was settling in for the night.

Lowering her binoculars, she turned to her two African companions. Achoja seemed like a decent enough person, just trying to do what he’d been asked to do by his boss, but there was something about Debare that didn’t sit right with her. And both of them were Ntabo’s men—which meant she wouldn’t trust either one to watch her back. She wished Connor was here. He was a standoffish prude, but he was good people, and more importantly, he was someone she could count on.

She made a quick decision. “It’s easier if I do this myself,” she said. “You two go back and wait with the jeep. I’ll meet you there before sunup.”

“And what if you don’t come back?” Achoja whispered.

Annie grinned in the darkness. “Then go back to Ntabo and tell him you did what you needed to do.”
