Chapter Fourteen

Sunday. Washington, D.C.

Dave slid the headset on. He’d like to oversee this opportunity from the command center, but Director Donovan’s sudden and untimely death had created an opportunity far too ripe for Dave to miss out on. Which meant he was at his desk by five o’ clock, before more people were out of their beds, watching the body cam of one of their men in Thailand.

They’d lost the trail of the woman with the baby, but after yesterday’s hit their targets had scattered like birds disturbed from a field. And that was why they had a team in some sleepy Thailand town.

“All teams in position?” a voice asked over the headset.

One by one the others chimed in.

Last time they’d locked in on Rand Duncan’s location they’d missed the trio by moments. This time there would be no such close call.

“All teams, proceed,” the lead on the op said.

The camera Dave had tuned into moved forward, toward a house on stilts. The concrete foundation could double as an open-air living area. A motorcycle sat leaned up on one side. The upper floor was where their quarry hid. The house was situated off by itself on a plot of ground that in wet months might be for growing rice.

Voices muttered, keeping each team appraised.

The bad thing about this location was how exposed it made the team. If Dave had the luxury, they’d have waited for nightfall. He wanted these three off the map worse than he wanted this to go down quietly.

Dave sat back in his desk chair.

They’d tie off these ends, then close in on the others.

“Going inside the house,” the team leader said, creeping up the rickety stairs.

Soon—

Several voices cried out. The body cam footage showed flashes of the sky, the ground, bits of burning debris then nothing but static.

“What the hell? What just happened?” Dave pressed his hand to his ear.

The control room came off mute and voices buzzed in the background.

“Finding out now, sir,” someone in the control room said.

Dave fisted his hand. “We didn’t just lose a whole team, did we?”

“The support vehicle reports that the house was rigged to explode—”

“The targets? What about them?” Dave prayed they were caught inside.

“They’re sending some people out to check and gather the wounded.”

“I don’t want to answer questions. Burn the bodies. Get rid of them all.”

Dave yanked the headset off and ended his connection to the control room. These pesky people were becoming a real problem. It was logical that over time, some would become aware of their organization. It was the price of doing business on this level. The difference was that these people weren’t going away. They kept cropping up, and if Dave didn’t nip this in the bud soon, they could have a whole new problem on their hands.

He snatched up his phone and brought up the resource reports.

They were down people. The one resource they couldn’t manufacture. Losing another team meant they had to find warm bodies to fill those places. Bringing on new ones was a risk they had to take.
