Sick

“He’s out,” Pax said over the phone.

There was no need for anyone to reply. So far, this was only a one-way conversation.

“Grabbed his coat…taking a piss.”

Silence again.

“A lot of looking around…checking the car now.”

This should be it,Matt thought.

“He found the letter.”

Yes. Good. Now what are you going to do, Captain?

“He’s read it, and now is checking the trunk. Looks like he’s going to eat something.”

The silence stretched for nearly ten minutes.

“Looking at the highway again.”

Are you walking or are you staying?

“Still looking…still…wait. He’s going back to the trunk…got the lighter…he’s burning everything. That’s a confirm. He’s moving back inside and….sitting in the car.”

“Janice, Michael,” Michael said into the phone. “Pickup is a go. Jordan, get ready to disable the satellite.”

Welcome to the team, Captain Ash.
