making Sharif’s teeth clench at the overly familiar tone. “The most important is to take control of the airport without doing too much damage to the fields, so we can bring in more men and weapons when we’re ready. The second objective is to take out the local authorities, consisting of the police station and the highway patrol headquarters.”

“And how do you propose to do this?” Sharif asked, sitting back down on his seat and turning to look at Wesson over the back of that seat.

“Well,” Wesson said, rubbing his chin. “The airport ain’t gonna give us no real problem. Other than a few rent-a-cops, they ain’t gonna have much security.”

“Rent-a-cops?” Sharif asked, not being familiar with the term.

“Yeah, you know. Hired guards from a security company. They’ll only be armed with pistols an’ maybe a rifle or two. Nothin’ we can’t handle.”

“What about the police and highway patrol?”

“There we’re gonna have to be a mite more careful. Both the cops an’ the highway patrol offices will have plenty of firepower, but it’ll most likely be locked up. If we hit ‘em fast an’ hard, we should be able to get ‘em ‘fore they can open up the arms lockers an’ get all their men armed with the heavy stuff they have on hand.”

Sharif nodded slowly. “So, you would divide up our forces, with the strongest going to the police and highway patrol, and send a smaller unit to take the airport?”

“That’s the way I’d handle it if I was in charge,” Wesson said.

Sharif smiled slightly. At least the man was finally learning his place, which was in fact very low on the order of importance.

“Good, then that is how we will proceed,” Sharif said, turning back around to face the front of the vehicle. He pulled a map of the Boise area out of the glove box of the HumVee and opened it on his lap.
