Chapter 11
They hit him a few times then he heard someone walk in. "Major A. B. Stiles." The voice sounded familiar to him, but he didn't know why. The man told the guards to leave him alone with the prisoner. He took the cover off of Stiles head, Stiles looked in disbelief. He couldn't believe who was standing in front of him.
"Kamil. What is going on?"
"Quiet A. B." Kamil walked close to him. "Holland and I set this up, I have been helping get intelligence to the CIA." He got mad. "Holland promised to get my wife and family out, before the war started."
"Did he?"
"No. A. B. you have nothing to fear from me. I want you to help me get them out of here. If they find out about me helping they will kill them for sure. Look at your leg. It looks pretty bad." Kamil was trying to get a good look at Stiles leg. It looked like it was broken, while he checked it he tried to get Stiles to talk about something else. "How is that nice woman that made my passports? Miss Lowell?"
"She's Mrs. Stiles now."
"Congratulations." Kamil made a makeshift splint for Stiles leg. "I'm going to try to keep you and your men with me. I'm also going to get word to the CIA. We are going to tape you, I will make sure that I am seen. Send a secret message. I'm going to put on the video tape."
The guards came back in and Stiles made a tape to be sent to Gage.

Two days had gone by since she found out Stiles was missing. Terri woke up took a shower and got dressed. It was now Saturday. She decided she wanted to go to Pat's game. She knew Stiles would want her to. This was important to him. Dorothy was not about to leave her daughter alone, she had just finished making breakfast. Jackson rang the doorbell.
"Hi Jackson, right?"
"Yes, hi Mrs. Fremont. Is Terri in?"
"She's upstairs. Is there any word?"
"No I'm sorry there isn't"
Terri came walking downstairs. Jackson was surprised that Terri seemed happy. "Jackson. Do you want to go to Pat's game with me? I saw you talking to him about baseball the other night. I think he would like that."
"Sure Terri. Are you ok?"
"The truth. No. I need to go, because this is important to Pat. I promised him I would go. Stiles didn't lie to him and I'm not going to either." Jackson smiled, he understood that Terri was trying to live her life as normal as possible. He also knew that inside she was falling apart.
Dorothy walked out of the kitchen. "Breakfast is ready. Why don't you join us Jackson?"
"Thank you, it smells delicious. General Stiles is going to the game today too. Its the first time he left the pentagon since Stiles has been missing."
After breakfast Terri and Jackson drove to the field. Dorothy and John said they would stay there in case any word came in. Terri told them they didn't have to. She knew Gage would call her on the cell phone.
When Pat saw Terri and Jackson he ran over to them. "Aunt Terri, I'm going to be the starting pitcher." he looked at Jackson. "Coach really liked the sinker you taught me thanks." Jackson smiled at him.
"We're going to sit up there with Mom and Gran. Good luck." Terri kissed him on the cheek.
"Hi Mom, Dad, Kathleen."
"Terri this is so sweet of you to come. He was telling all his friends that his aunt was coming." Terri sat in between Kathleen and Hannah. Frederick was sitting next to Hannah. Jackson sat next to Kathleen. Hannah Rose came running over from where she was playing when she was Terri. She climbed up and sat on her lap. Terri hugged her and smiled.
"Jackson, Pat will be so happy that you are here too. All he has talked about was the sinker you taught him to throw."
"I wouldn't miss it." Kathleen and Jackson seemed to be paying more attention to each other than the game. "Look he just struck out another batter. Way to go Pat." Jackson whistled and cheered. "I'm going to talk to him in the dugout."
Jackson went to talk to Pat. Kathleen turned to Terri "He is something else."
"He is pretty special. He is one of Stiles' best friends." All at once three cell phones went off at the same time. Jackson, Frederick and Terri all answered. Jackson ran over and helped Terri get down from the stands. They all rushed out. Frederick kissed Hannah and said, "I'll call as soon as I know exactly what's going on. Jackson can I ride in with you?"
They rushed into headquarters. Lex was waiting downstairs. "They have been showing the interrogation on the Arab news. We got a tape. Terri, he looks ok. He's hurt but he is ok."
They all rushed into the conference room where they were waiting for them to watch the tape again.
Terri started to cry, when she heard Stiles voice on the tape. "I'm Major A. B. Stiles. They have been treating us well. I want to let my family know that I am ok, and that I miss them. I love them very much. I hope to be home with them again soon." As Stiles continued talking Jackson noticed something unusual.
When the tape was over Gage complained. "I hate that they are playing this on their television. This is just wrong."
"Sir could we rewind the tape." They did "Look at Stiles right hand. He is tapping his chest. Short and long. Sir Stiles is sending us a message using Morse Code."
"Rewind the tape again." General Stiles ordered. "You're right Jackson look at that."
Carl looked in the background. "Lex can we get a closer look at the man in the back."
"Sure." Lex boxed it off and made the image bigger.
"That's Kamil." Terri said "The one Stiles brought back to Iraq. The mission compromised by the mole."
They were all confused until Jackson read the message Stiles was sending. " I'm fine. Holland liar. Intercept his mail. Kamil helping."
"Get Holland in here now." Gage ordered.
Quinn said. "Wait Tom. Stiles said intercept his mail. They might be trying to get a message to us. We don't want to tip Holland, if he is the bad seed."
"Your right Robert. Carl I want him watched, his every move."
Terri and Frederick hugged. "He is ok, Terri I knew he would be." he looked at Gage. "I'm going to call my wife."
Gage turned to Terri. "We'll get to the bottom of this. He is alive. He didn't seem to be worried about Kamil. I don't think we can trust Holland though. I don't know what he is up to this time." Terri looked tired. "Terri I bet you haven't gotten a good night's rest since this started. Go home. We'll let you know as soon as we hear anything else."
"Thank you. I don't have a car here though."
"I'll have my driver take you home. Get some rest."
