CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

SHOW TIME

After Dave’s twentieth lap around the sofa, Eddie returned to the living room, walked past him, and headed straight for the study. Once there, he opened the door and stared at him. “David, we need to talk.”

A spasm of fear shuddered down his spine. Nothing good ever came after “we need to talk.” Nasif smiled his encouragement and Dave followed the mercenary in. Eddie closed the door and turned to face him.

“What’s there to talk about? They’re going to go in and get Ally.” Dave’s voice rose ten octaves higher than normal because the answer scared the shit out of him.

“Sit down.”

Nervous energy turned to irritation. “I don’t want to sit down. Tell me what the fuck is going on.”

Eddie positioned himself on the corner of the wooden desk and finally made eye contact. “Delta Force will infiltrate the city in the next two hours and make their way to the compound. Their mission is to capture Ibrahim Ayoub.”

The words were just what he wanted to hear, but the hesitant way they were spoken set off alarms. “That’s good, right? They’ll get Ally out.”

“In order to ensure they get him, they will not go in until they have confirmation Ayoub is in the building.”

Anger tightened Dave’s throat as the pieces fell into place. “What? You heard Nasif. My wife will be dead before that man shows up.”

Instead of answering, Eddie looked away.

Dave clenched his jaw, and the room spun. He held onto the wall and steadied himself. When things stopped moving, he finally found his voice. “They are going to let her die because Ayoub’s life is more valuable?”

Eddie’s silence fueled his rage.

“Who the fuck gives them the right to make that choice?”

Instead of responding, the agent stared down at his folded hands.

“That’s it? After all of this? You’re going to let her die?” His body shook. “There are a lot of things I can deal with. But allowing the woman I love to die without trying to stop it is not one of them. I don’t care what it takes, I will get her out.”

Dave stared out the window into the gated courtyard. How the hell was he supposed to go up against them on his own? With the back of his hand, he wiped away the tears spilling on his face and edged close to Eddie.

“I can’t do this alone.” His voice was a whisper as he searched the man’s face for a reaction. “Name your price. Whatever it is, I’ll pay it. I’m a doctor. Her brother’s a doctor. Her dad has a shit load of money.”

Eddie closed his eyes and sighed. “I can’t. I have my orders.”

“For God’s sake, do something. Don’t just let her die.”

“He won’t let her die.” Nasif announced from the doorway behind them.

The old man walked over to them and rested his hand on Dave’s shoulder. “I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help overhearing. I promise you she will not die and Eddie will help.”

Dave stepped aside and prayed he was right.
