CHAPTER

THIRTY-FIVE

BRIGGS - SEATTLE, WASHINGTON

“Stay on the ground,” he barked to the man with the shards of glass sticking out of his palms, the result of crashing through an expensive-looking art display.

“Clear,” Cal said from another room.

“All clear,” came from the rest of the team.

The twentieth-floor penthouse was not exactly ready for out-of-town guests. Windows were shattered, tables broken, spent rounds all over the floor, casings clicking as one settled into the corner. Daniel kept his eyes on the man who hadn’t even been a threat when they’d come in the door—some criminal indeed. He’d thrown his hands up as soon as he’d seen the black masks, only diving through the art display when he thought he had an opening. An opening to where, Daniel had no idea, but such was the life of a coward.

“We’ve got three dead in the back,” Cal said, joining Daniel. “Another two wounded.” Cal Looked down at the man on the ground. “And this is the ringleader, huh? Doesn’t look like much. What do you say, tough guy? Feel like killing any politicians now?”

The man blubbered a response, his midsection jiggling out from under his T-shirt. “I didn’t mean any harm. I swear. It was only a game.”

“Just a game,” Cal said. “A bunch of morons. I say we take him and throw him out the window.”

“No, no, please,” the man begged, making a move to put his palms together and then realizing better.

“Yes, shards still sticking out of there,” Cal said. “But don’t worry. I’m not a sadistic prick like you.” He bent down and looked the man in the face. “Though I wish I had a better fate for you than what the cops have in store. Although,” he looked up at Daniel, “I’m sure we could make some phone calls, get him in the right prison. We’ve still got some friends in there, right?” Daniel nodded, playing along.

“Then it’s set,” Cal said, standing back up. “You bag him up and I’ll make the calls.”

Cal went off to brief the others. There wouldn’t be much time. They had to get out before the authorities showed. A call would be placed, but it would be more of a federal anonymous tip, something for the authorities to put in their records. “Blah, blah, blah, a secret federal agency has come in and exploited intelligence, blah, blah, blah. Now we are delivering these criminals on a silver platter. Yours truly, Uncle Sam.” It was the best they could have come up with. Staying and dealing with the authorities was not in their best interest. Too much time, and undoubtedly too much paperwork.

Daniel instructed the man to roll over, and then bound his hands behind his back. There was nothing he could do about the glass. It had to be painful, but the cops would bring medics with them. He’d be sure of that. He stood and looked around the room once more. Should have been a beautiful place, probably somewhere around eight or maybe ten thousand square feet.
