Mark gripped the cell phone so tight he thought he might crush the plastic. He listened to the distorted voice warning him to stop snooping around. It burned him inside. This was a secure line. How the fuck did someone get this number?

He disconnected the call and stared at the desk filled with numerous documents. Marzban Samir’s face stood out on the computer screen as well as pictures of Zand Yousef and Arshad Ehsan. He had contacted some of his informants and obviously one of them held a higher allegiance to the bad guys. Mark placed his hands on the desk and felt the anger consume him. This wasn’t right. These assholes have been getting away with too much. Hell, Samir was headed to the United States. What were the chances that Brenda would be with him. She’d pulled off disguises before. She was a resourceful agent, and the more information he gathered, the stronger his gut felt that she did not commit treason.

He turned toward the laptop and the small picture of Brenda on the screen. She was an attractive woman. He felt that guilty feeling for even looking at her like that or letting his mind remember the short affair they had. He didn’t love her. They were lonely and there was an attraction. They had sex and it was over. They both knew it was nothing more than that, and they never felt weird about it or acted differently. They became close friends. There were other opportunities where they could have had sex again and they didn’t. They knew there was nothing more than friendship between them.

He would have trusted her with his life and to have his back. That thought now made him feel foolish and used. Could she have turned her back on the United States? On the bureau? On her team, including him? Why had she called the week before disappearing? Why had she said she was working on a similar case where there might have been a connection to Samir? It didn’t add up.

He stared at her picture. What the hell did you get yourself into? Who else knows what’s really going on?

“Mark? What is all this?” Drake asked as he pushed the office door open.

Mark turned to look at him and Drake and Lucas looked immediately at the small screen and the picture of Brenda.

He couldn’t tell them about the threatening phone call, or his gut instincts that Brenda was innocent. He needed more evidence. He needed to find out where she was and how the team could get to her. This was his job, his profession.

He pressed the button on the laptop and closed down all the screens on each computer at once. But that guilty feeling hit his gut. He never lied to his brothers.

“There’s been some changes in the case. I’m not so detached from it after all.”

“What does that mean?” Drake asked.

“It means, whomever Brenda is involved with knows myself and the rest of the team members who worked together.
