“And also you assume she’s right here?”

I shake my head. “Not her however they’re. I noticed them on the native surveillance footage from Kabul.”

He raises a forehead. “And the way did you come up with that?”

“It wasn’t tough. Isn’t it my job to control issues round right here anyway?”

“We’re a bit of removed from Kabul, child.”

My head drops. “You possibly can press expenses in opposition to me later however — please — we’ve already wasted sufficient time. They might be passed by now.”

Rhys pauses as his eyes scan the others behind me. “Fawn,” he mutters, “you vouch for this?”

“I wouldn’t have introduced it to you if I didn’t, sir,” she solutions.

I battle the urge to show round and take a look at her, regardless of how comforting the act could be proper now.

Rhys narrows his eyes in thought. “And you haven’t any concept what they needed these recordsdata for?” he asks me.

“No, sir,” I say. “They might be for some type of recruitment, however I can’t make sure. It’s what I’ve been looking for out since I bought right here.” He goes silent once more and scratches at his fuzzy face. “I’m telling you the reality. I’ve no purpose to make this up and you already know it.”

“Oh, I’ve no doubts you’re telling the reality, child,” he says. “That’s not what’s bothering me.”

I furrow my forehead as Rhys stands up and rounds the desk.

“I’ve suspected for some time now that somebody over our heads was… rather less than truthful,” he says. He waves me over as he rolls out a map of Afghanistan throughout the desk. “The warehouse you discovered is right here,” he factors on the map. “Now, just a few weeks earlier than we picked you up, we tailed one other convoy to a compound about fifteen miles south of camp. We known as it in and command advised us to overlook about it.”

“Similar to they mentioned to overlook about this one?”

He nods. “This has occurred a couple of half-dozen instances within the final yr. Similar story, totally different location. We observe them down, command tells us to again off for no obvious purpose.”

“You assume somebody up prime is aware of who they’re and what they’re doing?”

“I wasn’t positive till simply now.”

“So, what will we do about it?” Fox asks.

I look over my shoulder, drawn by his regular voice. He stands behind me, tall and assured. I’m grateful to see belief in his eyes, the identical belief I see in Caleb. For the reason that second I arrived right here, Fox has had my again greater than anybody.

I received’t overlook that.

“Properly…” Rhys stands up tall. “We are able to name it in and await them to shoot us down once more or we will simply say fuck it and cope with the slap on the wrist later.”

A flowery scent teases my nostril and I do know that the brand new boots behind me are Caleb’s. I look behind me to see that Rogers and West aren’t sitting anymore both.

“I don’t need anybody getting slapped for this however me,” I say.

Rhys chuckles. “The place’s the enjoyable in that, child? All people go well with up. Let’s discover out what these bastards are as much as.”

I sigh because the 4 of them spin round and march out of the command tent one-by-one. Caleb lingers behind with me.

Once I lastly look up, she’s smiling.

“What?” I ask, my abdomen growling with dread.

“You look about able to hurl,” she says.

“I would.”
