that would be a lie. Jerry, Stan, and Frank form on me. I have someone I want you all to meet.” Roger says.
    “ I was observing from a distance. Then I heard you recite the battle call and I had to act.” Amos says.
    “ Boys, this is Amos Havana, a retired member of Omega Phi...”
    “ I am no longer retired, Roger.” Amos says.
    “ It's that bad now?” Roger says.
    “ Worse....” Amos replies.
    “ Well in that case, abort our mission and return to base. Everyone to the chopper!” Roger orders.
    “ I'm not going, Roger...” Amos says.
    “ Why not?” Roger asks.
    “ My mission lies out here and the less you know the better.” Amos replies.
    “ Whatever that mission may be, thank you old friend.” Roger says.
    “ One more thing....” Amos says.
    “ Anything you want!” Roger replies.
    “ I know you came here for Haus and this is what you were sent to retrieve.” Amos hands a mutilated Dlink to Roger. “Tell Reese he died like a true soldier, but do not mention my name. I was never here and I didn't intervene. That is the only payment I ask for my assistance today.” Amos says.
    “ You have my word, Amos!” Roger says.
    “ I expected nothing less from you, Roger.” Amos says.

CHAPTER FOUR
    Back In The Fold
    “ As you can see Alex, she hasn't gone very far. Our intelligence tells us, they found the four wheeler abandoned just south of Moorcroft, Wyoming. We also believe that she is heading to seek shelter with relatives in Bighorn County. They may, or may not, be aware of her intentions. And, as far as we know, she is on foot.” Reese says.
    “ She won't be for very long. That's over 250 miles to cover. I wouldn't underestimate the kindness of local civilians. Wyoming is a rural state, with a deep pride of doing the right thing and helping people in times of need. Also, being female, of non-threatening size, and dressed in uniform I have no doubt she is already being given a ride to her destination.” Alex says.
    “ That wasn't taken into consideration, but then again, I called you out of retirement for that very reason. You could track down a flea, on a coonhound's back, sixty miles into the swamp and still hadn't finished your morning cup of coffee.” Reese says.
    “ Let's hope that my gut feeling is right. It's been a while and I may have gotten rusty. We are already behind from the start. Let's use odds to regain the upper hand and then make our move. I-90 is a major shipping corridor, with Billings, Montana being the central hub. And given the area, she was most likely picked up by a sympathetic truck driver. The driver was likely heading to Billings and the most likely drop off point for her would be Ranchester. I would set up a checkpoint there, focusing on trucks with passengers and I doubt she would stick with Highway 14 through Bighorn canyon. Set another checkpoint at the Burgess Junction near Bear Lodge Resort.” Alex says.
    “ I wouldn't call yourself rusty, son.” Reese says.
    “ I need to gather supplies, contact an old friend and get my plan in order.” Alex says.
    “ Where are you heading?” Reese asks.
    “ We both have our secrets, but I guess now is the time to be honest. I am going to see my old friend Erik Peterson. He is in charge of Papa Whiskey Romeo, a small radar station for the Air Force southwest of Powell. It's a small operation but they have a landing strip and it's centrally located in the area of interest.” Alex replies.
    “ Do you think he can actually help you?” Reese asks.
    “ Yes. He is a local to the area and has many family members in the Bighorn Basin. Chances are really high that he knows Trixie's family and might even be related to them. He is my best shot, both in terms of location but also in the area of contacts. Like we agreed before, Eve goes with me and not a single objection otherwise.” Alex says.
    “ You have my word and I am holding you to yours. I get to speak with Eve before you tell her what is happening.” Reese
