Brother, you could have knocked me over with a cool breeze at that moment. I stared at Nate until he started to get uncomfortable.

“What?” I finally asked, not believing what I had heard.

Nate replied, “I said things got really weird when he mentioned your name.”

Tommy spoke up from the kitchen table. “Who is this guy and how the hell did he hear of John?”

Nate shook his head. “You’re not going to believe it, but it was none other than our good buddy Major Ken Thorton.”

I went from disbelief to downright amazed. My mind worked overtime. How could Thorton have heard of me? I remembered Simon mentioning he had heard of me when he was a captive in California, but had Todd spoken to Thorton about me? Why would he in that situation? It didn’t make sense.

“What was Thorton saying about me.?” I had to know, this was incredible.

“Thorton was announcing to the airwaves that you were a traitor to the country and you were not to be trusted. In fact, he came out and said that anyone who helped you would be punished by death. He said your mission to stop him was illegal and you were trying to take over the country for yourself.” Nate nearly spat out that last.

This just got more and more incredible. “How did Thorton find out what we were doing? Who could have told him?” I asked out loud, more to myself than anyone else.

Duncan spoke up. “You don’t think he found our home and forced the information out of our families, do you?”

At first my blood went to ice thinking Thorton might have tortured my friends and family to get information from them. But as quickly as my rage surged, it dissipated just as fast. “No,” I said. “He’s the type to gloat if such were true. My guess is he found out about us from someone who had been with us, knew what we were doing, and got caught out away from safety. I wonder who the poor bastard was?”

“What do we do about it?” Tommy asked. “This guy seems to have the upper hand, information-wise.”

I shrugged, not really sure myself. “We see if he makes another broadcast. If he does, maybe we stand a chance of talking to him.”

“What do you think you’ll say?” Duncan asked

“No idea,” I said, meaning it.
