At Delta Twelve, Colonel Wade and Ramona watched a satellite image of smoke covering La Palma. The image also picked up planes and helicopters dropping fire retardant on the fires. Ramona pointed at the screen, saying, “The volcano is clear of fire. The area around the base is clear for perhaps a mile or two.”
Wade looked at the screen, “Rico will arrive at La Palma in,” Wade looked at his watch, “about thirty minutes. I hope that the Navy truck is waiting for them.”
“I checked by landline with the Spanish Navy. They said they had a military police vehicle on stand-by.”
Wade moved closer to the screen and thought, ‘It’s going to be close, but I don’t think there is enough time for Rico to stop them.’
