“By the way, Aaron found out the name of that oil tanker. A Navy ship located her, turned her around and she’s currently headed back across the Gulf. The captain took a chance and put a search party on board. They found the missile launchers in one of the tanks. They had been broken down into parts and packed into sealed containers submerged in crude oil. They found some conventional weapons, too. The tanker was escorted to an American naval base. The oil tanker’s captain has some explaining to do. He could be in custody for some time.”
“Let’s hope he likes Navy food.”
“The DEA has been dogging Eugene Corey on his association with the Rojas-Dembrow Cartel. It helped when I slipped them evidence of telephone calls he’d made to Quinn and those cash payments we traced to Chris Malloy. Added to Don Manners’s data, they’re going to get some hard results.”
“Hal, what about the Mexicans forced to work for Dembrow?”
Brognola’s smiling face had filled the sat phone’s screen. “All being worked out through Customs and Immigration. Justice put in a good word and so did the DEA. And that suggestion you offered about channeling that cash you liberated from the hit team to assist them is going to help. Don’t look at me like that. I’m on top of it. I’ll see it gets into the right hands.”

The soldier would stay in the clinic just for as long as it took Jack Grimaldi to get there, then he’d get his old friend to head north for a little R and R. He’d spend a few days at the Farm.
It was time to heal.
But Bolan knew another mission would soon appear on the horizon. One always did.
