birthplace, parents’ names and backgrounds, address, where he went to school, occupation, social security number, wife’s name, child’s name, blood type and general health.
She shook her head and sighed. “Your remote viewers came up with this?”
“No. It was smuggled out. CIA picked it up yesterday afternoon along with a note saying we ‘must rescue him immediately.’ We have an asset — a friend — on the inside. We just don’t know who it is.”
“What about Dan?”
“We think our most direct route to success is through Weller. All of the RVs do agree on this point: we get this guy Weller, and we’ll be able to save nearly everyone, including Dan.”
Jax turned the page. This sheet had even more personal info on it. It included Robert Weller’s likes and dislikes, his favorite sports teams, best friend’s name, his parents’ names and how they died, wife’s parents’ names and backgrounds, more detailed information on his son, including the boy’s injuries from an automobile accident, and how it had affected Robert and his wife Michelle. The following pages were more detailed and read like some sort of short story.
Sunny looked up at Jax. “It’s all here. His entire life. All that’s missing is what the hell he has to do with this thing.”
“Hopefully, we’ll discover that very soon,” he told her.
Sunny took a deep breath. “What’s the plan?”
“Find him and make contact. But don’t push any of this project or the rescue operation on him. He won’t find it credible. Don’t go too fast. Convince him you know him from someplace. Maybe you’ll say some things he’ll somehow connect with, and you can work on those. One of our RVs has recommended that you tell him you knew him from college, that he and your husband were friends, and — ”
“Do you think it’s wise to deceive him? I mean, I’m not a good liar. I don’t know if I can pull it off.”
“Just remember, in order to save Dan, you’ll have to get this Weller character back to safety so we can find out what he knows. It’s the only way we can find Dan since the remote viewers are unclear on his location.”
Sunny seemed convinced, nodding slowly.
“The RV also suggested you tell him that you were once lovers.”
Sunny faced him with a scowl.
“Think about it, Sunny. Certainly, the best way to pull him in is for you to gain his trust. But if that doesn’t happen, you need to at least make him curious enough to go along with you. It might work.”
She looked back at the report and said nothing.
“If you can bring him back here, we’ll have time to question him in safety. But, if for some reason you can’t, you’ll need to take him to a safe, isolated location so we can grab him. But as soon as we break the ridge with our helicopters — even with our jamming and counter-sensor devices — it’ll stir up the biggest hornet’s nest you ever saw. Then we’ll have to interrogate him on the run. At that point, we’ll be forced to pull out all the stops and make a full assault against the Biotronics facility. In that scenario, many lives on both sides will be lost. It is a last resort.”
“So, you’re counting on me.”
“At some point, we must raid their facility, anyway, and attempt to rescue as many hostages we can. It’s just that the element of surprise will save many lives. That place is sure to be like a fortress, so whatever help this key Weller can give us will be crucial.”
“You really think this is going to work?”
“Like I said, we have no choice.” Jax laid the papers on Sunny’s lap. “I’ll give you a few minutes to study the report. And there’s a time constraint. Our remote viewers did a future view and agreed unanimously on a second point. If we’re not successful and out of here by sunrise tomorrow, we’ll all be dead. That includes Dan, this guy Weller and all the hostages.”
Jax stepped away leaving Sunny gaping momentarily. She recovered quickly and began
