Chapter Forty-Three
The Trip up Canyon
Alan Cook, Special Agent of the National Security Agency, was sound asleep in a hotel room of his own. Though he’d dropped off only two hours ago, he woke promptly and completely when his phone (actually a pocket computer of course) chimed. As familiar to him as his wife’s tit, his hand found it unerringly in the dark. He thumbed an icon and put it to his ear. His voice rattled a bit but smoothed out by the second word.
“Cook. What?”
“Boyes here, sir. Something’s happening.”
Bill Boyes was one of the two men assigned to him when the Downing case began to develop. The three of them worked in shifts monitoring the surveillance team that was monitoring the fugitives – if that was the word for what they were.
