We had ten hours left when the convoy rolled out.

Twelve vehicles. Forty armed Vipers and Reapers. Albert beside me in the lead truck, Victoria coordinating intel from the passenger seat, Knox commanding the rear guard. We were hunting a ghost—Thomas Kane, the man who might be my father, who might be X, who might be the key to ending this nightmare.

"Last known location was a compound in the Nevada hills," Victoria said, pulling up satellite imagery. "Abandoned military facility. Off the grid.

  • THE BIKER'S NEW FOUND MATE    CHAPTER 200 - THREE WEES LATER

    The Dalton investigation became official on a Tuesday.Forsythe's office released a formal statement confirming an active inquiry into a classified defense program and the involvement of a senior elected official. No names in the statement. Standard procedure for an active investigation. But within forty eight hours every major news outlet had Dalton's name and a version of the story that was incomplete but pointed in the right direction.Dalton issued a denial the same afternoon. Measured. Professional. Prepared in advance which meant he'd known it was coming for at least a week. He called the allegations fabricated and politically motivated and said he welcomed a full and transparent review of his record.His lawyer was on television that evening.I watched it with Eva in the common room. Neither of us said much. The legal process was going to take the time it took and there was nothing we could do to accelerate it and nothing Dalton could do to stop it given the redundancy of the d

  • THE BIKER'S NEW FOUND MATE    CHAPTER 199 - COMING HOME AGAIN

    I got back to the compound at six thirty.The gate guard waved me through without the usual check protocol which meant Sophia had told them I was coming and to let me pass quickly. Small thing. It mattered after the kind of day it had been.I parked and sat in the car for two minutes before going inside.Not because I needed to collect myself. Because I wanted the transition to be deliberate. The operation was behind me. What was in front of me was different and I wanted to arrive at it properly rather than carry the day's weight through the door with me.Then I went inside.The compound was quiet. Evening routines in place. The smell of food from the kitchen. Vera was in the common room reading. She looked up when I came through and said nothing but her expression said she knew it had gone well enough because I was walking normally and not looking for Sophia.Sophia found me in the corridor before I reached Reaper's room."Results are holding," she said. "His afternoon readings were

    We delivered the referrals at two in the afternoon.Eva and I took the inspector general's office. Varro came with us because she was the one who could speak to the full nine year history of the program with direct knowledge. Phoenix stayed at the secondary location managing the digital package distribution. Copies going to secure locations simultaneously. Seven different destinations. Physical and digital. Enough redundancy that suppression was impossible even for someone with Dalton's reach.The inspector general's office was in a government building forty minutes from the secondary location. We didn't have an appointment. We walked in with the document case and asked for the deputy inspector general by name and said it was a priority matter involving a classified program and a senior elected official.We waited eleven minutes.The deputy was a woman named Forsythe. Late forties. She came into the waiting area herself rather than sending staff which told me she'd taken the descripti

  • THE BIKER'S NEW FOUND MATE    CHAPTER 197 - THE DOCUMENT

    Grace had the documents on the table at the secondary location by nine thirty.She'd driven directly from Webb's residence without stopping. She came through the door with a flat document case under her arm and set it on the table and stepped back. Her expression was neutral and professional and showed nothing about what the past three hours had been for her personally.I opened the case.Seventeen documents. Physical copies. No digital versions of these anywhere based on Varro's assessment and the absence of anything matching in the program's server before Phoenix destroyed it. Webb had kept this material offline deliberately. The kind of deliberate that told you the person understood exactly how damaging it was.Varro sat beside me as I went through them. She identified each document by type as I laid them out. Funding authorization records. Internal communications. Operational directives. A personnel file that wasn't in the program's main records.And at the bottom of the case a si

  • THE BIKER'S NEW FOUND MATE    CHAPTER 196 - EXECUTION DAY

    We moved at six in the morning.Four teams leaving the secondary location in four separate vehicles at four minute intervals. Staggered departure so nothing about the movement pattern suggested coordination. Hayes first with her team. Then Phoenix and Maren. Then Grace alone. Then Eva and me with Varro watching from the doorway of the secondary location as we pulled out.She'd done everything she could do. The rest was ours.The drive to the facility took forty minutes. Eva sat beside me and didn't speak. She had her eyes forward and her hands relaxed in her lap and she was doing what she always did before an operation which was very little visibly and a great deal internally. Processing. Preparing. Getting to the place where action was instinct rather than decision.I did the same.We parked two kilometers from the facility at seven twenty. Hayes and her team were already in position near the eastern approach. Confirmed through the communication channel at seven twenty two. Phoenix a

  • THE BIKER'S NEW FOUND MATE    CHAPTER 195 - THE NIGHT BEFORE

    The last full day of preparation was quiet.Not the forced quiet of day seven when I'd ordered rest. A natural quiet. The kind that settled over a group of people who had done everything they could do and were now simply waiting for the moment to arrive.I woke at five and didn't try to go back to sleep.Made coffee. Sat at the kitchen table in the dark. Went through the operation one final time in my head. Not revising. Not second guessing. Just walking through it the way you walked a route you knew well. Confirming the landmarks were where you remembered them.They were.Hayes and her team entered the facility through the eastern approach during the security rotation window. Twelve minutes to secure all three entry points before the rotation completed. Eleven program staff plus Webb's two personal protection people detained in the main meeting room. Webb herself isolated from her detail within the first sixty seconds. Eva and I responsible for that isolation.Phoenix and Maren at th
