All Chapters of Aegis Group Task Force: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Thursday. FBI Holding Facility. Austin, Texas.CALEB STUDIED THE PLAIN looking building behind the tall chain-link fence. The place was built like a fortress. But every site had its weaknesses and this one was no secret. Like most modern buildings it relied too heavily on technology to sustain it, from programmed thermostats that maintained optimal temperatures in server rooms to the automated security systems.That was going to be their way in.Of the forty-eight people given orders to report to the ready site, only thirty-five were present. At least ten were still on their way. The remaining three had slipped off and left on their own according to others. Caleb would worry about them later, after this was over. Most importantly though, he had his two best techs on-site. With them here and their other people back at their headquarters he expected to take the entire facility offline right before they made their attack.Bodhi sidled up next to him. They stood on top of a near

Thursday. FBI Holding Facility. Austin, Texas.FELECIA WATCHED EVAN TURN his back on her and walk away.She understood why he had to do this. It was his job. He couldn't stop being who he was just because they wanted to have boring movie nights together. She wouldn't want him to be anything except who and what he was."Hi, Jacob. My name's Kelsey. We're going somewhere safe, okay?"Felecia was glad for the other woman's calm. She certainly didn't feel it."Come on. Get up." She helped a trembling Jacob to his feet.Poor kid had no idea who their parents really were. By his age she'd had some sense for danger. She hoped this was all he ever experienced."Stay close behind me," Kelsey said looking them each in the eye. "We move fast. Do as I say. It'll all be okay. Got it?""Yeah," Felecia replied.Jacob merely nodded."Let's move. Come on." Kelsey held her flashlight and handgun in front of her, leading the way across the room to the other door.Wasn't there sup

Thursday. FBI Holding Facility. Austin, Texas.BODHI DIDN'T LIKE THE sound of how things were going down in there.He and the rear guard were just outside the facility, the getaway trucks idling, waiting for the others. But from the sound of things they weren't going well.He licked his lips and glanced at the road.If he just took off now, would they stop him? Was there enough chaos, enough confusion for him to slip away?"Caleb is dead. I repeat, Caleb is dead," a jumbled voice said.Cold fear wrapped around Bodhi.First Kurt, now Caleb?This couldn't be happening.It couldn't come to this.There had to be another way."Hold the line," he bellowed.Bodhi wasn't going to go out on a failure. Whoever had killed Kurt was in that building, and now Caleb was dead. Bodhi was going to kill them all.***Thursday. FBI Holding Facility. Austin, Texas.FELECIA STOOD WITH HER back to the cold wall, gun in hand. Her shoulders were hunched up around her e

Friday. Hospital. Austin, Texas.FELECIA KNEW WHAT A drug induced sleep felt like. She'd been in them enough to know she hadn't done this to herself willingly. Where had her father taken her this time? What were they running from? Would this ever stop?She floated in darkness becoming aware of aches and pains.What had she been doing? Working out too hard?All at once memories flashed. Her ankle and the plan to wear herself raw. The door bursting open and a man with golden hair and blue eyes looking at her.Evan.She wasn't with her father. She should be with Evan.What happened? Where was she?Felecia clawed herself toward wakefulness. Every few moments she could crack her eyes open, but the overwhelming need to sleep pulled her back under. Each time she became aware of her circumstances a bit faster, Evan's name coming to her quicker.He was her touchstone, the thing calling her back.At last she opened her eyes and they stayed open for several moments. The roo

Two weeks later...DIHA BALAKRISHNAN BUSTLED AROUND her lab. There was much to do. Ever since Texas things seemed to be moving too fast for even her to keep up with. She was making progress with the forger's files, which only soothed her rage a tiny bit.They still had no idea who the real mole was.That rankled Diha more than she'd admit to anyone.As far as the team knew, they'd caught the mole responsible for paving the Horsemen's way into the FBI facility in Austin. That had been the work of a fake CPS worker. The woman who'd looked after Jacob for less than twenty-four hours wasn't a state employee at all. Diha could accept that the woman had allowed the Horsemen to crash the main and back-up systems locally, granting them access to the otherwise secure building. What Diha refused to believe was that this was the person who'd been sabotaging them at every turn.But Zora had needed a win, so she'd run with what they could tell everyone else.Maybe this false security
