  “Don’t you think I know that?” Mateo asked.

  “You should’ve killed Tracy McCain when you had the chance,” Maggie said. “Why did Lotte let her get away with going public on so much so quickly?”

  “She was in the office to stop that,” Mateo said. “She had instructions to kill Tracy McCain if there was no other way.”

  Lance laughed. “If you would’ve been successful in doing that, things would be even worse than they are now.”

  “How could they be worse?” Jean asked. “We have a person in power who can take direct action against our operation.”

  “Yep, and she’ll help Mayor Fine consolidate his power in the city,” Maggie said. “This is a giant mess.”

  “You shouldn’t have agreed to take the UN Peacekeepers out of the city,” Charles said. “We need more here right away. Either turn the group heading for the west coast around, or send more from the EU.”

  Mateo was silent for a moment.

  “You there?” Charles asked.

  “The forces moving to California are more important to that region than they are to the East Coast. If I pull the rug out from under Saladin, we’ll lose California, and that will end the entire US operation.”

  Lance chuckled. “You know, I actually agree with that. Bring more over from the EU.”

  Mateo sighed. “How many do you think we need?”

  “Half a million,” Lance said.

  Maggie chuckled. “They’ll never send that many.”

  “Yes they will, because they’ll see this as a crisis, and they don’t want their movement to end,” Mateo said. “I’ll make the request right away. I think we should bring them all to New York, at least for the beginning.”

  “You might want to send some to New England as well,” Jean said. “Did you see what happened outside of Boston?”

  “No, what?”

  “The news media is suppressing that per our request,” Charles said. “A checkpoint was attacked on the outskirts of Boston, using some very interesting vehicles. I suggest we do some intel gathering before we send a lot of manpower there. Lock down New York first. Then we’ll fan out from there.”

  “We are in agreement,” Mateo said. “I’ll let you know details after I get agreement from the EU High Command.”

  “Thank you,” Charles said.

  The call ended. Mateo got up and paced. I only have so many chips to play. This is too early.

  Craig woke to clanging of his cell door, a guard standing there fumbling with keys. He sat up on his cot, eyeing the guard as he came in with a small package.

  “Time for my 7:00 AM beating?” Craig quipped. “I want my lawyer.”

  The man grinned at him. “This is from a friend. I’ll be back tomorrow. Have as many articles written as you can get done. Tell nobody.”

  Craig looked at the man silently for a moment. He had a guard’s uniform on, but his haircut didn’t look right, and he was a little too old. “Who are you?”

  “Resistance. We are legion.” He handed the package to Craig, who looked inside. There was a yellow pad of paper and half a dozen pens.

  “Don’t worry about editing. Get the words down. We’ll do the rest.”

  The guard left his cell, locking it back up.

  To be continued, in Bug Out! Atlantic Book 3, coming soon.

  Here’s a dirty little secret. Spirits can kill you.

  Sandy couldn’t take it anymore. Her work as a psychic for the LAPD was tearing her apart. Murders. Playing out in her head at night and slipping into her thoughts during the day. She quit.

  Holding a séance is the psychic’s way of opening doors, and Mary Grace was an expert. Sandy reluctantly said yes, but some doors are better left shut. The spirit they awakened was dangerous enough on its own, but it was tied to a much darker presence. An ancient power that could reach into the world and take them.
