While Bruce contemplated, Glenn was seething in Washington.  Badda Younis was one of three Arab Muslims pawned off on CIA from the White House after the current President took office.  They were recommended with the “understanding” they would be given every opportunity to advance.  All were to be in The National Clandestine Service.  Glenn had kept a close eye on all three.  Two had turned out to be reasonable, though far from outstanding additions.  Younis was another matter.  Part of what had Glenn so upset was that he was stupid enough to trust information gathered by Younis—information that had run the Asps into a train wreck. 

As he gathered himself mentally, Glenn left CIA Headquarters.  He drove a short distance away in his car.  He had to make sure the call he was about to make could not be traced in any way.  He used one of Jim Scott’s special cell phones to call Jim.

Jim saw who was calling, and answered, “Hi, Glenn.  What’s up?”

“Got a big mess on my hands.  Need help.”

“Sure.  Shoot.”

Glenn explained about the seemingly bogus information gathered by Badda Younis, with the result in Pakistan.  Jim instantly bristled when told Billy Garcia had been captured and was missing in action as the two men spoke.   When Glenn finished, Jim asked, “Where is this Younis jerk now?”

“Islamabad—where he’s gonna stay until you can round him up to ask him a few pointed questions.  Your methods, et cetera, are up to you.  What happens to him if his answers are what I fear they may be is also totally up to you.  Just don’t let it come back in our laps…please.”

“You know better than that.  I assume—since you’re using the phone I gave you—this call is totally safe.”

“Oh, yes.  I’m in my car…which I scanned with a black box before I left Headquarters.  Anything you need from this end?”

“Yeah, pictures of the guy plus his dossier, if you can get them to me safely.”

“Can do.  I have a laptop with a disposable hard drive.  I’ll use it, then dispose of it.”

“I’ll take care of it.  So long.”

“Thanks…see ya.”

After he ended the call, a chill went down Glenn’s spin, as he thought of what Badda Younis was in for—even if the man deserved it.
