Today’s
excerpt is from Back To Iraq, Book #2 of the nine-book Janitors Series. The Janitors take down an al-Qaida facility
inside Iraq, but may have found a bigger problem. Enjoy and have a wonderful day.

He
whispered, “Jim, I’ve found their arms cache.
Other than weapons, it seems empty…I mean, no one about.”
Jim
didn’t answer because he was peeking around the opening of the communications
pod. Jim saw four men and quickly pulled
back. This time he paused to think. He was sure now that this was the last
pod—hence, the last of the enemy was inside.
He
whispered, “Four inside. Looks like
their com center…let’s try to take one or two alive…but not at the risk of
getting our asses shot off.”
The
other three men smiled and all four walked in. When seen, Jim shouted, “Freeze,” in perfect
Arabic.
Saddam
Alwash went for his sidearm, as did his men.
All four died in seconds.
Jim muttered,
“Damn. Well, no one to question, so
let’s see what we can find out on our own.
Tom, Holly, guard the back entrance.
Billy, how about taking the front.”
Billy
nodded and asked, “What about the Humvees?”
Jim
thought just a second. “Good point. Drew, Boris, you guys feel like getting
them?”
“No,”
joked Drew, then added, “Come on, old man.”
While
Jim started investigating the computer equipment in his pod, Hector found the
light switch in the armament pod and started searching there. It didn’t take him long to find something he
wished he hadn’t. He walked down the
corridor to where Jim was, and walked in.
You ain’t gonna like what I think I found.”
“What?”
“Nukes.”
“You’re
shitting me.”
“Wish
I was. Looks like those satchel ones the
Ruskies had.”
Boris,
who could hear the conversation quite well in spite of bounding along in a
Humvee growled, “That’ll be ‘Russians’ had, Mexican rodent.”
Everyone
laughed, but the mood only lasted a few brief seconds. Then Jim sighed. “Boris, when you get back, check this out
with Drew. Hector, stay here and help me
with these computers. I’m finding some
interesting stuff. I think we may have
just stumbled onto bin Laden’s financial center…or a good portion of it
anyhow.”
