CHAPTER EIGHT

Madura Island, located off the northeast coast of Java, was drastically larger than the postage stamp sized bit of sand that Kepulauan Nenusa had been, both in terms of real estate and population. Even so, Sam would never have guessed they were on an island of over three million people, not given the total silence enveloping this particular stretch of forest running along the northern edge of the place.

The return trip to Indonesia had been as rushed and exhausting as the first time. Sam had tried to sleep throughout most of the fiftee- hour flight to Jakarta on the unmarked military aircraft they’d taken, but the ride had been rough and the roar from the engines loud enough to require hearing protection. There had been a mission briefing on the plane followed by a short trip via helicopter out to a frigate cruising the Java Sea where they’d gotten another briefing, and then a midnight boat ride to a deserted stretch of beach east of Sokabana.

In theory, the Alatas brothers ran some kind of training camp near here. The theory also held that the brothers were either here now or would show up sometime soon to finalize plans for the procurement of the nuclear weapon from Colonel Kam and the North Korean contingent. The idea was that Sam and the other SEALs would sneak into the camp and hear something that would tell them where the North Koreans would be and when they would be there.

Lucero and the CIA hadn’t been very forthcoming about where they were getting their intel on the Alatas brothers, and based on the number of times the words in theory, supposedly, and should be had been used during the briefings, Sam wasn’t too sure what he and his Teammates were going to run into out here in these woods. He only hoped this whole trip wasn’t a waste. One that had possibly messed up his relationship with Poppy.

Movement ahead of him caught his attention and Sam looked up to see Dalton holding up a hand with a closed fist—standard military signal for all stop. He immediately dropped to one knee, swinging his NVGs to the right to scan his assigned sector, but there wasn’t anything there. Wes, Lane, Holden, Chasen, Nash, and Noah were all out there somewhere. They were simply too good to be seen.

A few moments later, he heard Chasen on the radio, saying they’d reached the edges of the brothers’ compound.

“Everyone hold tight while Nash and I scout out the perimeter to see what we’ve got,” Chasen added.

The seconds turned into minutes, and with nothing to do but stare into the darkness at nothing, Sam found himself thinking about Poppy. No surprise there. He tended to think about her nearly every free moment of the day and night. And as he’d been doing a lot since the cookout gone wrong, he couldn’t help but replay every moment of what happened at his parents’ house.

He’d expected for her to freak out when he told her he was a SEAL.
