Chapter Fourteen is in the queue.
James has returned to the office full-time, still recovering from multiple gunshot wounds that have left both physical and emotional scars. The lingering effects of his injuries strain his relationships and dampen his commitment to the job. His frustration deepens when Washington authorities send federal agents to escort him to a meeting he has no interest in attending.
When the agents arrive, James’s former special forces teammates confront them, resulting in a tense standoff that threatens to turn ugly. The situation is defused at the last moment, and James reluctantly agrees to go with the agents.
At the meeting, he learns that a top intelligence agency has been compromised—a mole inside is leaking classified information, crippling the agency’s ability to operate effectively. Drawing on his tactical and analytical expertise, James devises a bold solution and is tasked with leading its implementation. Now, he and his team must execute the plan while managing their existing contracts, testing their limits, loyalty, and resolve as they work to restore security and trust within the agency.
