After a frightening few minutes of listening to muffled voices leading up to gunshots, King finally heard Sam’s voice on the phone.

“Xander? Are you there?”

“Sam! What the hell is going on?”

“We’re not going to make it to Mexico City tonight. Four men posing as FBI just removed us from the plane.”

“What? Posing as FBI? How is that possible?”

“I don’t know yet. Kyle and I have them alive. I’m about to start demanding answers. You’re in real trouble here, X. This thing runs deep. Whoever is pulling the strings knows what they’re doing, and they know how to bypass government agencies. And they know enough not only to be watching you but to be watching your friends.”

That last statement brought King a deep feeling of unrest. It also brought back some horrible memories from the last time his friends were known and in danger. That time resulted in him faking his own death. He wasn’t going that route again. He’d die for real before he let that happen.

“Both of you are all right?”

“We’re fine. You’d be proud of Kyle. He isn’t the horny manslut you left two years ago. He now has a quick wit to go with the combat skills you taught him.”

“Well, don’t tell him that. His head will still blow up like a balloon,” King said. “Listen, Sam, I’m in a real spot here without you. I need to know who is doing this if it isn’t Ortega acting alone.”

“Well, Ortega might be after you, X, but he’s not the one in charge. I’d bet Kyle’s life on it that it is someone from our side.”

“An American?”

“Yes,” Sam said.

“I know I’ve made a lot of enemies, but an American? Who would want not just to kill me but to ruin all the work I’ve ever done for my country by making me look like a traitor? I’m at a loss.”

“I know. I’ll get what I can out of these minions, then report back. And I have to call Director Lucas. If the reality of these men posing as federal agents doesn’t prove you’re not to blame, I don’t know what will. What’s your next move there?”

“It was to go after Ortega, but I think I’ll go for the computer where these fake videos were made. At least I’ll have some proof it wasn’t really me.”

“I like that. Keep me posted. I’ll be in touch.”

Sam ended the call. King had walked into José’s bedroom to listen to the call from Sam. He hadn’t bothered turning on the lights. He took a seat at the foot of the bed and let out a sigh. He couldn’t believe the lengths someone was willing to go to make sure he was made out to be a traitor. Before he could take yet another look into the past to try to figure who was after him, Lawson’s shadow filled up the doorway.

“Everything all right?”

The big man clicked on the light switch close to the door.

King’s phone vibrated in his hand. It was a text from Dbie:

Lawson Raines is former FBI but a PI now in OC like you said.
