Chapter 12

Duncan

It’s not so much a meeting as watching the view of one of our teams surround a farm near the northern tip of Morocco. Besides the shipment of flesh and guns that I know they’ll find, Carlos uncovered reasonably solid intel that Preston’s number two will be present tonight.

Looking at Angelo beside me, I grin and voice what we’re all thinking. “Let’s hope we don’t actually kill him…”

We spent twelve hours debating taking him alive for questioning or orchestrating a failed assassination attempt and getting a tracker and bug on his watch. Software makes life so much easier.

“There he is!” Angelo calls out and his statement is immediately confirmed by the team leader on site. “He’s just about…”

The explosion cuts off his words as the feed lights up and shudders a bit. Ygor’s body was thrown back while his driver should have been incinerated. The three-member team is nearly upon him, one takes his pulse and lets us know he’s still alive. The team medic places a breather over Ygor’s face – ensuring that that he’ll stay unconscious for another few minutes.

Another man is searching Ygor’s body for his iPhone and using the unconscious man’s finger he quickly has access to it while the third guy covers them. Next, Ygor’s watch is popped open and the secondary device is planted there.

In less than ten minutes, my men pull back without a word. The fourth man stays in place, his camera steadily trained on our target.

“This is still a big risk,” Angelo brings up one of the arguments from earlier. “If they discover we’re listening and watching, we’ll be the next ones led into a trap.”

“Pull the guys you need. You’re on this until we decide to scoop up Ygor,” I squeeze his shoulder and turn my focus back to the newest item on my list.

Tracking down Sam Kyle.

“That’s bullshit, Keith,” I snarl. “He’ll be out hustling pool somewhere or in the back of one of the dive bars near where he saw her. You need to pick him up fast.”

“I’m fucking trying but since you won’t tell your little crush why she’s won the fucking lottery, I’ve got to watch her back and try to find her brother. What’s your fucking priority here?”

I grind my teeth over my next decision. I’ve always tried to keep any link to Sadie away from the hackers outside my team but I have to take a chance now. Sam is a ticking time bomb. I just need to see which way he’ll blow.

“Not the new one, but the specialist you’re about to cut loose…have that one look into Sam.” I direct Keith and he grunts in acknowledgement.

“And a bodyguard for Sadie?” Keith asks.

“She is a bit peeved with you right now. How about Carlos or the elder Carter?” I suggest.

“You’re naming your first child after me, you pussy-whipped asshole. Even if it’s a girl.”

“There’s no way a man like me gets something like that,” I respond without thinking. Keith understands that I didn’t mean to say anything and shuts down the conversation with a grunt before disconnecting.
