by C. G. Cooper
Zimmer was suddenly serious. “Two weeks ago, I had a really different view of how the world works. Now I know that groups like the Council exist for a reason. They’re part of the solution not the problem.”
“And you’re okay with the way we go about exploiting the intel we get?”
“You’re really asking ME that?” Zimmer asked with a sad grin. “Have you already forgotten what I did in Vegas?”
Cal would never forget Zimmer shooting his own father in the face. He was still surprised that it had been the Congressman who had killed the two masterminds of the conspiracy.
“Alright, alright. I get it. So, that brings us back to the original question: how can I help?”
“I’ve been tasked by the Council to bring you this.” He handed over a single sheet of paper.
Cal skimmed the summary and looked up.
“Anything else I should know before we start looking into this?”
“President Waller figured you’d want to do some research first. How about we…”
The two turned as a loud ringing sounded in Cal’s makeshift office. “Sorry, that’s my secure line. Let me go grab that.”
Stokes trotted over to his small desk and picked up.
“Stokes.”
Zimmer watched as Cal’s face went blank.
“Are you sure?” His face gave away his total shock. “Okay, I’ll be right over.”
Cal hung up the phone and didn’t say a word.
“Is everything alright, Cal?”
“No.” Stokes answered as he rhythmically clenched and unclenched his fist.
“What happened?” Zimmer asked with concern. He’d never seen the normally unflappable Marine in such a state.
Cal turned to the Congressman with dread-filled eyes.
“Neil’s disappeared.”
