Today’s excerpt is from Father
Millligan, Book #8 of the Asps series.
Jim in friends start the process of capturing a former Stassi agent who
is wanted by MI6 Chief. Enjoy and have a
wonderful day.
m.j.
Dan
shook his head. “We haven’t spoken. He’s not a happy camper. Thought we’d save talk for you.”
The
man groaned, “Hey, guys, I’m standing right here while you talk about me. What gives?”
Jim
answered, “Sergeant Zimmer, this young lady will escort you to our car. Please be a nice fella. Don’t give her reason to shoot you. We really don’t want to kill you…or injure
you in any way. So go along nicely,
please.”
As Jim
spoke, Maggie moved to the man’s right-hand side, grabbed his thumb, then moved
it until he sucked in a breath. As they
started to walk off, Jim muttered, “Maggie, he gives you any guff, you know
what to do…but I really want him kept alive.”
Maggie
asked, “Can I break his thumb, if he misbehaves…shoot him in the knee, if he
really acts badly?”
“Yeah.”
As
Maggie and her prisoner walked off, Maggie grinned. “Hello, Sergeant Zimmer, I’m Maggie Doyle
Littlefield, of Her Majesty’s Secret Intelligence Service, otherwise known as
MI6. My Chief wants very badly to get
his hands on Fugleman…um, is that the name he’s using with you, by the way?”
Army
Special Forces retired Sergeant Zimmer answered, “Yeah…though he didn’t want it
that way. He only told the six of us
U.S. Military guys his first name…Hans.
One of his other men let his last name slip. He asked us to keep it to ourselves. Said that, because of his work for Mr.
Papoulias, many people wanted him dead.
Said Mr. Papoulias had pissed off many in the Arab world—Hans was part
of it.”
“He
lied like a fish. He and asshole
Papoulias organized a trap…using some al-Qaida scum…for me and some of my
friends. They managed to kill one of
us…wounded several more. They all died
for their efforts. Your boss, Fugleman,
by the way, is wanted by SIS for killing one of our agents when he was still with
Stassi…the sister of our current Chief.
Everyone thought he was dead, had been for years…way back when Clinton was President.”
“Oh,
my God. I guess I’m in some deep dodo
then.”
“Not
at all. You were hired to do a
legitimate job. No way for you to know
what kind of people you were involved with.
