Chapter 13

Griffin had kissed Grace good-bye in the backseat of the limousine where they had made love an hour before. Watching her leave was one of the hardest things he’d ever had to do in his entire life. She was coming to mean so much more to him than he ever imagined any woman would. He felt like he should be grabbing his bag and following her to the other side of the earth. He wanted to be there to protect her, back her up, but most of all, he just wanted to be with her.

He knew he had to remain inside the vehicle while the women carried their own gear into the hangar. Ever since the bomb threat several months ago, security around their black airplane had tripled. Once the women were inside though, Griffin left the limo and got into the Guardian SUV with Alex. Neither said a word but both understood they would wait until the large black jet disappeared into the midnight sky.

On the way off the base, Alex commanded the hands-free phone to call USSOCOM. After a few moments he was put through to General Lyon.

“I wondered how long it would take for you to call me,” the commanding officer over all special operations stated without any greeting. “They’ve been in the air less than one minute.”

“I watched them take off then decided I wanted to hear it from you. Please tell me they have backup this time.” Alex glanced at Griffin who shifted in his seat. He knew exactly how the man felt.

“Alex, I promise you, that will never happen under my command.” The gruff of leather and creak of a chair came through the speakers. “Is this a secure line?”

“Yes, sir. I’m calling on the phone issued by your command,” Alex reassured him.

“I didn’t think you’d be stupid enough to call me on your personal cell.” He let out a sigh, as though settling in to tell a story. “I have a DevGru team and a Delta team backing up the Ladies of Black Swan. One of those two will be given credit for taking out Khalid Junyard. Or they may be the ones actually killing the slippery fucker. He uses multiple doubles. We know one of his stepbrothers is impersonating him, and we think one of his cousins has also assumed his identity in Iraq.”

A phone rang loudly in the background. “Hang on a minute, would you please, Alex. I’m not done talking to you, but I’ve got to take this.”

Alex turned and merged into light traffic on the interstate headed north toward Guardian Security’s D.C. Center. Two minutes later, the general’s voice came back over the speakers. “Alex, you still with me?”

“Yes, sir, I’m here.” Alex said.

Griffin wondered for brief second who would have the balls enough to hang up on one of the most powerful men in the world?

“Good, we were talking about Junyard’s doubles. We’re really won’t know for sure whether we got him or not until we test the DNA.
