CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Grimaldi had landed them at Midway rather than O’Hare International, saying something about traffic patterns and muttering a few choice profanities in conjunction with whatever authorities governed the local airspace. The Farm had arranged for yet another rental vehicle to be available to them. Delaney and Bolan had found the Ford F-150 waiting for them, and in the truck bed Bolan found a care package that included ammunition, grenades and a few other gems from Stony Man’s armorer. He was grateful for the field resupply.

Delaney had been sullen since discovering that Twain had slipped their grasp somehow. They couldn’t have missed him by much. Toby Jones’s identity had come back from the Farm after Price had Kurtzman and the team run his photo. The man was one of Twain’s top operatives, having served under the Irish mercenary for longer than almost any of his other known associates. Jones’s presence indicated that Twain had likely been close by. How he had gotten away was still a mystery. Delaney hadn’t wanted to talk about it, and Bolan didn’t blame her. Probably she was wondering if she’d missed something, if she’d somehow failed to stop the killer she had sought for so long.

The Farm had produced identity matches for several of the dead SCAR operatives. Most of them came back with military histories, criminal rap sheets, or both. Most of the Asians were as yet unidentified, but Kurtzman had managed to dig up a dossier on one of them. He was another Chinese special forces operator, also declared dead about a year previously, Price had informed Bolan in her call to him.

“It’s very likely,” she had said, “that the Chinese are involved with Trofimov. How deep we don’t yet know, but it looks damning.”

“Can we do anything about it?” Bolan asked.

“Not officially,” Price said, “though Hal said there are a couple of angles he can work. We may yet get buy-in from the Man. You know how delicate things are with the Chinese right now. There are a lot of apple carts Hal can’t afford to upset. He’s hoping to find a way anyway, though.”

“Tell him I wish him luck,” Bolan had said. He’d closed the connection not long after, thinking that he didn’t envy Brognola the byzantine world of international politics.

Twain’s laptop had proved to be a gold mine of information. Specifically, it detailed the production quantities and laboratory locations for an extensive illegal drug operation. Notes appended to these indicated projected dispositions abroad. It was obvious the drug shipments were, for the most part, intended for dissemination among military bases and thus military personnel. The hub of the drug distribution, and the location of the heroin production, was just outside Chicago, Illinois. There were cryptic references to the manufacture of the meth amphetamine being brought in and distributed alongside the heroin, but there were no clues to the location of the meth lab or labs. While it would have been nice to have complete information, Bolan was satisfied with what
