Rays of hope

Chapter Two

IFF HEADQUARTERS

Billy Melrose was livid having heard that the yacht with their prime suspects working undercover had gone up in smoke with someone blowing them up while his best man Lee Stetson, Amanda, Francine, and her husband Robert arriving to take over for them.

"What the hell do you think is going on Lee to have this particular courier come abroad and then leave scot-free?" Billy had to say with a hand rubbing the back of his neck.

"There was nothing that we could see with the courier carrying anything that was explosive?" Lee said with Amanda needing to say something.

"Now I know that I am not an expert sir. Maybe the explosive was already placed by other sources with those poor people on board could be the one to had placed it?" she says to have Francine coughing for a moment...

"If this is the case everyone then there is someone that is a traitor and we are going to be looking elsewhere with being involved with the terrorist group from overseas," she replied...

"So what you're saying that somewhere along the line I will be needing to be sending a team to Syria to investigate it further." Billy shaking his head trying to figure just how this undercover operation had started out to now full-grown murder.

"Billy, did you get any I.D. as yet on the courier that was on the yacht today?" Lee asked rubbing his chin feeling slightly nervous.

"Nothing as yet gang. Hopefully, the F.B.I. and other agencies will be able to come up with a name. Lee what about your harbor police friend Lt. Henley will be able to help?" he replied by asking the question.

"Henley said that he was going to keep investigating as well Billy. I should call him right now. So everyone holds on?" Lee said...

Harbor bar GREEN GABLES

Lt. Henley had been following a possible suspect in regard to the yacht explosion. He's been watching the very same courier having walked in with two others sitting at one of the tables. The bar was busy for the late afternoon and Henley had his Bourbon sitting next to him at the small table with his partner Sergeant Jerry Fonda having been working with Henley for the past five years.

The both of them were certain that this man was up to something. When they noticed two burly males in their forties had shown up heading to sit down next to him. He seems to be slightly nervous about handing the file to them.

"Geri are you sure they are dead with the explosives?" Saul De Paul from Syria as with his associate.

"Yeah, I am sure De Paul. However, I do think that there might have been some witnesses watching me arrive. I do think that maybe there was a possible chance that IFF might have been watching that particular yacht."

"And if this is the case we will need to find out who they were before deciding on a course of action."

Meanwhile, Henley was trying to move a little at his table by using his watch camera to try and take photos of them. "Maybe we will be able to get an I.D. on them?" It was at this time that his friend from IFF was calling him probably for an update. "See what's going on my friend?" he says with taking a sip of his Bourbon.

"Where are you?" he asked the importance of the question.

"Green Gables harbor bar. Get your ass down here Lee? I have been following the very same courier from the Embassy. He's been meeting up with two males in their forties and the conversation seems to be serious." he announced...

"I am coming now alone Henely. Try not to spook them off?" Lee commented while he was getting looks from the group in Billy's office and including his wife.

"I know my job, Lee," he said with hanging up the phone to continue watching.

And in the meantime...

Geri hands De Paul an envelope that was consisting of the Intel taken from the Embassy. "This is going to be useful for now until the other sleepers in this country are wakening. Our group is ready to begin the assault on a number of military installations."

"I will be sure to give this to the Senator interested. His backers had been on his ass to get this started without interference from the authorities. I will need to go now and head back to the capital." he said with seeing in the far corner of his eye the two police officers watching them. but he didn't say a word. He walked away.

"Let's go. We needed to follow that man so that we can make a report back to our superior and IFF." Henley had to say on the subject with finishing up the last of their drinks getting up.

Geri needed to finish his own drink before heading out to meet with his own friends for the night out.

Henley and his partner walked out of the busy bar getting into the SUV undercover police car. They needed to hurry in order to catch up.

After some time they did with needing to be careful reaching the local San Francisco City hall and Senator's chambers for the state. There was only one senator preceding in the chambers and that was Senator James Moore for the past 12 years having been voted in by the public.

Both Henley and his partner just couldn't believe that the man they were trailing was going to be meeting up with a senator. Whatever he was mixed in wasn't good at all.

"Let's get out of here and report back?" Henley said to his partner with moving out of the underground garage for where the lone male had taken the elevator upstairs.

However what they didn't realize that they were being watched as well. All of a sudden their vehicle blew killing them both into flames...
