“I’ll be glad to teach him a few manners.”

“So will I.” Teagan’s hands clenched.

“Let’s find him first.” Seth kissed her lightly, then turned his attention to Andre. “Have more to share?”

“I need current locations for Berkley and Cowan. We’ll put together a plan once we have the information.”

“Next up, Grant.”

“I researched Sam Cowan. Your instincts were right, Riley. Cowan isn’t married, but he has a reputation as a ladies’ man. He also has a rep for not dating a woman more than once. He’s treating the women around him as an all-you-can-eat buffet.”

Violet sighed. “That’s sad. He missed out on getting to know some very fine women by using that tactic.”

Riley frowned. “How do you know?”

“He passed up you and Angie. How much intelligence does he have if he did that?”

Teagan studied her. “Did you go out with Cowan, Riley?”

“No.” Disgust filled her. “He wasn’t my type.”

Andre turned to Grant. “What else do you have on Cowan?”

“He had a sketchy history before he joined the CIA.”

“The Company redacted his history like the military did ours?”

“Someone did. I’m curious why someone did that.”

“Zane keeps our files locked down,” Riley reminded them. “In black ops, you don’t want a trail about you to lead anywhere.”

“Maybe.” Andre turned back to Grant. “Anything else interesting?”

He shook his head. “I have an address for him.” Grant grimaced. “It’s in D.C. like we thought. No guarantee he’s in residence at the moment, though.”

Riley agreed with Grant. She wasn’t a fan of the nation’s capital, either. She preferred living in the small town of Hartman, just outside of Nashville. “Before we make flight arrangements, let me see if I can ping his cell phone to check his location.”

“Do the same for Berkley.” Seth turned to Elias. “Let’s have it.”

“I looked into Eduardo Garcia and his family thanks to Riley’s help.”

“And?”

“Garcia is most definitely dead. He was found in his office, slumped over his desk. Autopsy results show he died from curare poisoning.”

Violet’s mouth gaped. “Nasty stuff.”

“Obsidian Storm was rabidly loyal to their leader and vowed to find the person responsible for his death. They’ve never given up the hunt for the killer.”

Seth stiffened. “You’re sure Obsidian Storm still exists?”

“They do. I poked around in the Fortress database, too, and discovered Storm leadership sent several second-tier soldiers underground for protection during our Special Forces raid. Eduardo Garcia’s son Javier assumed leadership of the Obsidian Storm remnant on the day his father died with the help of an advisor. And that’s all I have for the moment.”

“Noah?”

“Violet and I looked into Rico Mendoza. Rico is definitely dead as well. Andre took him out with one shot to the heart and one to the head. Second-tier soldiers sent his son Diego to the underground bunker after we killed his father. He and Javier were already friends. However, they bonded as teenagers overthe deaths of their fathers and vowed revenge. Both boys spent their entire teenage years training for leadership. They took over last year and have been looking for the people who killed their fathers ever since.”

Teagan stared. “That can’t be their entire purpose. Don’t they want wives and families?”
