CHAPTER 32
ADMIRAL PARKER ARRIVES at the PR office and sees Jim and Donna bringing in bags of food. He rushes to open the door for them.
“Thank you, sir. We picked up a few breakfast sandwiches and fruit. Coffee’s brewing already.”
“Thank you. We all appreciate this with such a busy day ahead of us.”
General Taylor’s car approaches.
Taylor exits the vehicle. “Did you listen to the news this morning?”
“Didn’t want to.”
“Vasquez passed away last night, a blood clot to the heart.”
“How in the hell could that happen? He went to one of the best hospitals on the planet.”
“I have no proof, but I think he was doomed from the start. Blood clots can be injected. It tells me we’ve got to up our ante. Things will move quickly now.”
“We can’t do it alone.”
“Yes. I thought about your offer.”
