Chapter 13

“Mike Hannon? Are you sure?” Adam asked, although he already knew the answer.

Of course, Mike Hannon would be involved in an operation like this, if given the opportunity. And that made Adam furious. The ex-Delta Force operative had a nasty habit of getting himself mixed up in all sorts of nefarious schemes, and most with galactic implications. And Adam had multiple opportunities in the past to put him away for good. Now he’d somehow gotten himself involved in a high-tech operation such as this, and working with the Gracilians to boot. Adam had to hand it to him; Mike always seemed to land on his feet. At least right up to the point the anvil dropped on his head.

“Hannon’s not as smart as he thinks,” Monty said with a smirk. “Besides being able to track the stolen chips, the Juireans also surveyed every registered spaceship in the system where the first robbery took place and tracked down the ship that was used. Hannon got away, barely, but it gave the Juireans a clue as to what to look for. After the second heist, he switched out his routine, sticking around the planet for a while rather than bolting away like someone guilty of a robbery. Still, the Juireans tracked Hannon’s ship after the second heist, and that’s how we found out who’s behind all this. He used an alias, but it wasn’t hard to see that it was Hannon. We began tracking the ship but then we lost the transponder signal. He changed it out. We didn’t sweat it; we already knew the next target bank because the stolen chips inside it. We just didn’t know when the heist would take place. And now we’re on Navarus and only a few days after the latest theft. It’s the closest we’ve been to him, and if he follows his standard protocol, he’s still here. If we do our jobs right, this is where it ends for Mr. Michael Hannon.”

Adam raised his eyebrows. He was impressed that a series of thefts, taking place across a thousand light-years, could be so easily traced. And if all went according to plan, the Juireans would have the situation locked down in no time, thanks to Monty and his team. But then the Juireans would be seeking the answers to Overlord Andon’s other questions: How was this done, and how widespread is the technology? Adam already knew the how thanks to Panur and Lila. Hannon and the Gracilians—once captured—will tell them if this technology has leaked out to the general public. If so, then things were about to get a lot more interesting in the Milky Way.
