“Is that necessary? It’s kind of late.”
Having only recently moved from Coop’s lead team in the Dubai offices, Wolfe hadn’t much experience working directly under Zaki. Typically all of OZ’s directives went through the Intelligence & Activity branch, me, or Coop. But knowing OZ’s exacting standards and enigmatic temperament, employees generally feared the reclusive billionaire. Big, tough Vikings were no exception.
I didn’t have time to put Wolfe at ease, but I needed him focused on the situation and not on his employer. “Marguerite has been changing unused bed linens for days. Zaki isn’t big on sleep. Trust me, he’d be more upset to be left in the dark.”
“If you’re sure. I mean, I’ve got everything handled.”
I fought to keep the snap from my voice as I straightened him out. “No, you don’t have everything handled. Unknown people are coming to the island. Have I&A get full background profiles of all passengers, surviving or not. I want ownership details on the boat, purpose of their trip, and what the hell they were doing in those coordinates. Advise Colton to do SSE and use Obsidian Protocol.”
“Obsidian Protocol?” he asked.
While Sensitive Site Exploration, or the gathering of any intel, was par for the course on ops, the various protocols on Marakata Cay were not. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to explain. “Meet me in the war room in thirty.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
