CHAD HARMON

EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

FOREIGN SERVICE SPECIALIST

“Thanks, Chad.”

Reece looked at the driver, who gave an almost imperceptible nod as he continued to scan.

“See you in the morning.”

Reece was filthy. He had cleaned up the best he could at Mossad Headquarters, where he had received a few new stitches, but he was still noticeably in need of a shower and a change of clothes.

He avoided the elevator and instead made his way to a stairwell, where he took the stairs two at a time until he entered a third-level hallway. The key turned easily in the lock and Reece entered the flat, locking the dead bolt behind him.

Though he was exhausted, it was not quite time to let his guard down. He needed rest but first he needed to clear the rooms. The former SEAL did a primary clearance, setting the gray case on the couch as he passed. He then went back to the front door and went through the spaces more meticulously.

I need a weapon.

It was spacious and modern with good views for a third-floor residence. Reece got the impression that it didn’t get much use. There was a kitchen, a spacious living room area with large glass windows, a small balcony, and main and guest bedrooms, both with en suite bathrooms. Everything was decorated like it was staged for a real estate brochure photo shoot.

Reece hit the lights in the kitchen and living room and pulled the curtains closed across the windows. No sense in making it easy on an enemy sniper. He then went to the kitchen, where he opened cabinets until he found the glasses. He grabbed three and stacked them in a pyramid by the door. Then he returned to the kitchen and got three more, which he also stacked by the entrance. He had a feeling that he was going down hard and if anyone entered the room, he wanted to know about it.

What are you going to do without a pistol?

It was also probable that he was under audio and video surveillance by both the Israelis and the Americans, and after his briefing at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas he was suspicious of every electronic device, from the TV to the toaster.

Reece went to the fridge and opened the door, shaking the idea that maybe even the refrigerator was watching and listening.

IOT. The Internet of Things.

Inside there were a carton of eggs and various cheeses and juices, but Reece was looking for something stronger. There were a few bottles of wine in the side door: a Gush Etzion Lone Oak Sauvignon Blanc, a Mt. Tabor Shiraz, and a Domaine Herzberg Malbec. The wine reminded him of Shiri, her body torn to pieces while her children played a board game in a bomb shelter next door. She had been so alive and full of fire and then she was gone. What would happen to the four children in her care? How long would the grandparents be able to raise them?
