EXCERPT from "Black Eagle Force - Eye of the Storm" - Chapt. 12

        "We have our work cut out for us. Only have ten days to plan, prep and get into position. At least we got Admiral Valenti on board with the Navy's USS Iwo Jima. She can be on station in the Gulf in eight days out of Norfolk. The Marines of the 26th MEU will have four MV-22 Ospreys in addition to their regular compliment," Dare commented.
     "Damn swabbie brass pukes can be such a pain in the ass. If they don't get to play, they want to cancel the whole ball game. Especially when they sit at the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The guys are just politicians by the time they get that far up the chain," Kit muttered.
     "Look, Kit, I don't like intra-service rivalries and Pentagon politics any more than you, but look at the bright side. The SecDef and the President are behind us and besides, the BEF itself has gotten over most of that  internecine BS. It's one of our biggest strengths."
     "You're right, as usual. Sorry if I get bent out of shape sometimes. What's new from the DIA?"
     "Glad you reminded me. They tagged the cell phones used during the raid on the Eagle Nest and tracked them to six different accounts. One belonged to the head of the Tres Locos gang which was the primary organization behind the delivery of the murdered illegals. The CIA accessed his phone records and tied him to the Mexican Army Colonel arrested in Nuevo Laredo. It also tied him to a satellite phone number believed to be used by our new target, Javier Cojone."
     "You are kidding, right?" Kit said incredulously.
     "Kid you not. The DIA set up a special unit to monitor that phone frequency and record all transmissions. One of them was by the little blonde American cheerleader who disappeared from Barbados three years ago."
     Kit pushed back his chair and exhaled slowly. He had a daughter by his ex-wife who was the same age as that girl who had been in the news for such a long time. That story had always had such an effect on him. He nodded his head slowly as he digested the information.
     "So that's where the FBI fits in this puzzle. Some of the sex slaves being held are American."
     Dare looked at his Chief of Operations and knew what he was thinking.
     "Now you see why we need the Navy. There are between eighteen and twenty-five girls being held on Isla Gukumatz at any one time. We need the MEU's  MV-22 Ospreys to get them off the island in a rapid manner. The Mexican government won't be happy when they find out we put one of their billionaires out of commission… Permanently."
