Aim And Fire

ON ALERT…A nuclear bomb has gone missing. At the same time Room 59, a covert unit of the International Intelligence Agency created to fight terrorist cells, intercepts a communiqu? from U.S. Border Patrol agent Nathaniel Spencer. A known terrorist, thought to be dead, is back in business.…AND UNDERCOVERTracy Wentworth is working for the Department of Homeland Security when she's contacted by Room 59 for an inside job. Aligned with Agent Spencer and backed up by Room 59's considerable resources, they are to assess and eliminate the threat, using any means necessary. But as they delve deeper into Mexico's criminal underworld, it soon becomes clear that someone is planning a massive attack against America…one that would render the entire nation completely defenseless!
“Department of Homeland Security. Come out with your hands up!”
The shout was cut off by an explosion that made Kate snatch her earpiece off her head, gasping in shock. As she watched the satellite image, the sedan erupted in a glowing, gold ball of flame, forcing everyone to retreat. Kate inserted the earpiece again. “Tracy? Tracy, are you there?”
“Yeah, I’m here. Jesus, he just blew himself up. Must have been a grenade or a bomb or something, I don’t know. But he’s gone and he took any evidence we might have found with him.
“You need to get out of there. I’m downloading an address and directions from your location right now. Try to coordinate the Border Patrol and any other DHS agents in the area if you can, but go in quietly—we can’t tip them off or they might launch early. Brief everyone there on keeping the press out of this for now—we don’t want to cause a panic,” Kate said.
Before Kate disconnected she heard Nate say, “Hey, that isn’t too far from here, maybe about fifteen minutes southwest.”
I hope that’s quick enough, Kate thought.
