They pushed through the doors and out into the night. Once in their hovercar, Mace hit the comm button for the base.
“Yo,” Hunter said.
“Glen has been eliminated.” He swallowed the feeling of revulsion. Of betrayal. Would there ever be a time when the people they trusted didn’t turn against them? “Kane Duggan is in La Paz.”
“That explains it.” Hunter’s words made the hair on the back of Mace’s neck stand on end. “We’ve lost contact with Striker.”
“Get us on a plane to La Paz.” He started the car and headed for the airport.
“Already done. There’s a jet waiting. Jeremiah, Doc, and Ignacio are on their way, too. They’ll pick up their ride in Monterrey.”
That was still hours out. Hours where Striker was alone to fend off the butcher of the Northern Territory.
“It’s worse, man,” Hunter said. “Kane blew up the clinic. I booke
d Striker and Friday on a flight to New York. They never boarded.”
Hunter was right. It was worse. No antidote. No backup. And Kane Duggan.
If they didn’t get to Striker fast, he was fucked.
They all were.
“Do we have anyone in the area we can trust?” Someone who could act as backup until they got there.
“No.”
“Is his tracking device enabled?”
“No.”
“Damn it.”
“Yeah,” Hunter said. “Get to the jet. Save our boy.”
Mace noticed Hunter didn’t mention Friday. There would be no saving the scientist now. They all knew she was already dead.
Chapter Thirty-Three
Striker was seriously going to go Hulk on somebody’s ass. He couldn’t remember the last time he was this furious. Even when he woke to discover somebody had stolen his world and given him a reptile in exchange.
Kill! Save mine!
His talking handbag hadn’t shut up since somebody had immobilized them. Apparently, the diamondback really didn’t like having its body frozen.
As for Friday, as soon as he was able to move again, Striker planned to shake her until her bones rattled. Leave him? She’d been planning on leaving him?
Hell no!
Not gonna happen.
Not over something as dumb as trying to save him from her.
Kill! Save mine!
Shut up! I can’t think with you screaming.
Save mine!
