said she needed a bit of space to deal
     with some company she was having. Said it was unexpected. I asked if there was a problem and this is where it got a litt le weird. Marie said she had to go and pick up an impounded dog name Diego that was
     sent from overseas. She didn’t know how the baby would react so she had someone watching
     her. We offered. Anyway, she asked for June and I turned the phone over , ” t he Commander said.
    “Marie is allergic to pet dander , ” Gage said grimly.
    “Shit,” Thane swore. “That’s right . R emember when Ted tried to find one of those hairless dogs for her as a companion.
     Marie said it looked like a rat.”
    The Commander turned and began barking out orders to the men and women who were still

Chapter Five
     
    It had taken him m ore than a year and a half t o find t he assholes who took his father . More than seven million dollars in bribe money to hire men to help him. All of it was worth it, as long as he finally got his hands
     on the team who was responsible.
    He didn’t care if his father was a mean son of a bitch who sold arms. He was his blood. His family demanded
     revenge on the United States military who still held his father at Guantanamo Bay. They had not been able to speak to him at all. In eighteen months, their family empire had almost crumbled when the men capture d his father. Now he was in charge, and his father had taught him well.
    No one knew of his existence, since his father had kept the marriage a secret, protecting
     his brother, his mother , and himself. Javor Dragomir was a name to be feared in his country. Now, Diego
     Dragomir was the head of the family and nothing was going to stop him until he killed
     each and every member of the team who took his father.
    It was about honor for his family, and himself. An eye for an eye. He would start with the insignificant men who carried out the orders, then he would
     move up. Soon the American government would realize their mistake, but not before he took as many lives as he could .
    He knew the team . He had gleefully helped them lose half of it in a bombing. It should have made him feel better, but inst ead it had infuriated him. This was moving too slow — the bomb had not accomplished wiping the m all out as intended.
    When the team returned to the S tates battered and broken, they disappeared. No one had been able to tell where they had
     gone.
    As luck would have it, last month someone told him about the wife of one of the dead men , still in the same house, working for the same place her husband had. She would
     be able to tell him where the hell the rest of the team was.
    Then two days ago his men had gotten a little over - excited because of the knowledge of information she could and would give them — it had been exciting. The ball would finally be rolling.
    She had proven more difficult tha n anticipated, refusing to tell them anything during her questioning. It was disappointing , but even more disappointing was when he received the call she was dead before telling
     them a single word. Unacceptable , he thought as he paced the length of his massive office.
    He had taken control of his father’s estate, and so the mansion now belonged to him. I t would not take long for the governments of the countries he sold weapons to, to discover he had taken over. He was going to strike fear into the hearts of the enemies before hand.
    He was currently waiting for word of when the y had found the child. The men would come for her. He could feel it. The mother
     planned smartly after their first contact making sure she hid the child well. However , a mere woman was no match for his intelligence . I t was just a matter of time before they were right back to where they started. In control and
     on top.
    He finally had all of their names and they were working through finding the families
     of each of them.
