"Bill, you wanted to see us?" Jack asked poking his head into the director's office with Chloe by his side.
Bill looked up from his computer, and motioned for them to come in. Jack and Chloe took seats in front of his desk, wondering what the meeting was about.
" I called you here, agents, because of a certain terrorist threat. Tariq Ali. Syed Ali's cousin," Bill explained.
Jack winced at the sound of his name. Ali had forced him to almost give up his life for the sake of the country, when delivering the bomb across the desert. But whatever Bill was about to tell him, he was interested, for anything to get back at him would do.
" Jack because of your experience with Syed, we would like you to go undercover. We figure Tariq will operate similarly to Syed. He is currently planning an attack on New York, but as of right now he is on the Canadian border, near Michigan," Bill continued.
Jack wondered why Tariq was aiming for New York instead of L.A like his cousin. If either were hit it would leave a tremendous impact on the country, but why not follow in his cousin's footsteps?
" We have rented you a cabin in Michigan, near where Ali is staying. One of our men, Muslim, has already recommended you to Ali; under the name Michael Robert, an anti U.S.A government fanatic."
Going under cover did seem like the best option, Jack thought. If he got in with Ali and his cohorts, he could take down some of the bigger fish. Plus it would give him a very good chance for revenge.
" Uh, Bill, what about me? Why did you ask to see me?" Chloe asked, obviously feeling left out.
Bill shifted uncomfortably.
" Well um, Ali is well, a family man. And well, him and his peers have many… gatherings. For the whole family. These "gatherings" are mandatory for everyone in the group, so you would have to attend Jack. Well you see my point is, you would fit in if you had a wife."
Both agents stared blankly at Bill.
"Ok look guys here's the catch. You two will have to pass as husband and wife."
