S7: Chapter 06: Bald Eagle

“Egypt,” Victor growled as he dropped a stack of folders onto the desk in front of Brett with a sigh. “These are the last known whereabouts of Gerald Mercer. He’s been reported as far as the Great Wall of China and the Outback of Australia. This paper trail is just all over the world. Someone’s bouncing his credit cards from every corner of the earth to throw us off his scent and I can only assume it’s the same people responsible for starting this entire thing with Yve in the first place.”

“And how did you get to Egypt? Out of all of this data, why there?” Brett asked, thumbing through the top few folders as Dustin quickly went to work.

S6: Chapter 06: Sorry Wrong Number

Dustin paced back and forth in his living room constantly eyeing the phone sitting on his desk as he debated whether or not to give his friend a call back in Korea.

A smile formed on his lips as he thought about her first bout with the cramps and nausea. He’d just finished helping with dinner when her stomach flipped. He knew right then it was a boy because no man child of his would be caught dead enjoying the froufrou foods she was stuffing down her gullet.

S4: Chapter 06: Strip Teased

S1: Chapter 06: Atomic

“What’s the plan?” he asked as she stood from the desk.

“Well, first we have to warn the center of the imminent attack and get someone from Homeland Security on this. I have to get to Scott and get in contact with our liaison with the CIA. Grab the guys and let them know we may be making a trip.”
