VICINITY NEUFELD. COLORADO

Mehdi had sent his SAVAK into some of the local businesses and houses around the town center and gathered blankets not just for themselves but the people huddled in the cell. The wood stove was stoked to the max and did keep the temperature above freezing inside the annex. Crist had suggested they relocate to a nearby house that had a better fireplace and a large stack of dry firewood inside, but Mehdi had nixed that. He wanted to be close to the prisoners on the off chance that Tucker and those with him tried coming in the night.

Mehdi thought it unlikely but didn’t share that with Crist. The snow was coming down hard and had accumulated at least six inches, wiping out tire tracks and footprints. Any movement in it would be difficult. One of the SAVAK had backed up the threat about wiping out the prisoners if attacked by the expedient means of placing a Claymore mine on the floor just outside the cell gate, aimed inward. The clacker to initiate it was on the deck in front of the chair in which Mehdi had settled. The seven hundred ball bearings inside the mine would, upon initiation, arc out and shred the five people inside the cell. The concussion, of course, would be confined inside the annex and would wound the person who pushed the clacker unless they did it from outside the door. But if it came to that, things would have reached a desperation level anyway.

The SAVAK had removed Miquel’s body earlier, putting it in the pile out back to freeze. They’d had to rip his wife’s hands from it and shove her away to get it. Now Benita Alverez sat in a corner, rocking back and forth. She’d shoved away the other prisoners who’d tried to comfort her. There was a pungent odor in the air from the bucket the prisoners were using to relieve themselves even though Belk had taken it outside and emptied it just a half hour ago.

Mehdi gave the prisoners credit. There had been no begging, no hysterics other than the wife. They’d clearly heard Crist’s threat to Tucker since he’d done the radio exchange right here in the annex. Mehdi sat in a chair on the other side of the desk from Crist as Belk spoke in a low voice that only Mehdi and Crist could hear.

“Slim, Anderson, whoever he is, shot that deputy,” Belk said.

“Yeah,” Crist agreed. “So?”

“The FBI can’t cover him for that,” Belk pointed out.

“No,” Crist agreed, “they can’t.”

“We didn’t give him much choice,” Mehdi said.

“Now he’s in another bind,” Belk said. “He can’t let any of us live. We know what he did. We’re the only living witnesses.”

Crist shrugged. “He’s not going to have the chance to arrest us, never mind kill us. He dies with everyone else.”

Mehdi had already decided that days ago, once things had gone sideways with Crist getting caught. His men were untraceable in terms of their faces and fingerprints, a key consideration in choosing them for this mission.
