Dale said, “You can do that at the end of the day. But, since you have that helicopter available, we think you should transport them down to Regensburg for a little visit with Amanda’s pack. That’s assuming she can talk her former pack into agreeing to participate andnotmerely kill them. We’re looking for Oliver to orchestrate a confrontation with wolves and, using his demonic ability of course, control them.”
“I think I can convince Klauss, their Alpha, to go along,” said Amanda. “The rest of the pack will do whatever he says. I know they’ll enjoy the opportunity to face the men responsible for killing Johan and Justine. But, tell us more about what you have in mind.”
Lieutenant Colonel Schermerhorm said, “We want you to make a video which you can stream live to a website Marie has set up. Missy will share that video in real time with Mullah Ahmed Kahtar in Afghanistan and have him on the line with you so he can interact. Oliver will threaten to have his wolves … hishellhounds, actually … attack and eat Kahtar’s men right before his very eyes.”
Amanda exclaimed with glee, “Oh, yes! Klauss will like this plan.”
“After Oliver and Missy get Kahtar to understand what can happen to any future WIJO terrorists, Oliver will spare these three. The point will have been made that our demons can and will punish WIJO, anytime and anywhere. Since Missy will be confronting Kahtar in his own home … well, we think he’ll get the message. And, we’ll have copies of the video sent to Aziz and Mohammad Nabir as well.”
They discussed details of the plan for several minutes and then hung up so Amanda could call Klauss. She obtained his enthusiastic support and learned where he wanted them to land their helicopter, once they had the three terrorists captured. Then, they all went out to get started with the plan.
Linda, Oliver, Tracy and John went with their helicopter pilots and crew members out to the airport while the others climbed into vehicles with Lieutenant Saunders and his team. They believed Talib was still somewhere in the Leipzig area since Oliver could sense their energy was providing strong signatures.
Linda explained to the pilots how Oliver’s psychic ability might help them locate more terrorists and off they went. Based on the directions Oliver provided, the helicopter triangulated an area on the outskirts of the city and, when the vehicles with Lieutenant Saunders and the others were less than a mile away, it landed in a nearby field. The vehicles met them there.
Oliver then joined the others and led them to what looked like an abandoned farmhouse. He assured Jesse he could sense all three men were in there. Jesse then talked to Lieutenant Saunders and, after a brief recon, they decided on an assault plan.
This farmhouse was supposed to be a safe house, where Talib and whomever he brought with him could hide. It was not really a place which could be defended from any assault and did not have much in the way of sensors or security. When the lieutenant and his men barged in, going through all entrances at the same time, they were able to catch Talib, Tabish and Musa completely by surprise. Musa did attempt pulling a weapon out but was wounded in the arm when he didn’t drop it fast enough. It was all over in just a few minutes and the only shot fired was the one which wounded Musa.
Once the three terrorists were disarmed and handcuffed, Linda and her team came in and confronted them. Talib recognized Candace as well as the four who had been in his liquor store the day before. He began cursing, in Pashto.
Speaking in Pashto as well, Tracy said, “We believe everyone in your group has now been captured. However, we want to make certain of that. I see you know who Candace Axtell is.” After gesturing towards Candy, she then pointed to Oliver. “Let me introduce her fiancée, Oliver Bessom. Do you know who he is as well?”
After more curses, Talib said, “Yes, he is a demon! I know all about him. But I did not recognize him in my store yesterday and that is why you have captured me.”
Tracy looked at Jesse and said, “It might be best if the lieutenant and his men wait outside. Besides, they need to bring their vehicles up closer to take us all back to where our helicopter is waiting, right?”
Lieutenant Saunders understood and didn’t need Jesse or Linda to say anything. He immediately gave orders to his men and they promptly left so only Linda’s team was still inside with their captives.
Turning back to Talib and again speaking in Pashto, Tracy said, “The German authorities have found all the explosives you were keeping at your warehouse. That evidence will tie all of you to the WIJO bombing attack in Munich. Oliver wants to determine whether there is anyone else in your group who might not have been captured yet. You do know we stopped Dhanial last night, right?”
Talib had seen that on the news and immediately he began cursing again. Finally, he said, “I know two of my employees were killed last night. Everyone else has been arrested. I don’t know anything about explosives or WIJO attacks.”
Tracy translated Talib’s comment to the others. Then she asked Oliver to say a few words about their plan. She didn’t know if any of these men understood English, but if they did, she wanted them to hear it from Oliver.
“We don’t plan on turning you over to the authorities,” said Oliver. “We are taking you for a helicopter ride instead to where some of my hellhounds are waiting. We will let them determine whether you are WIJO terrorists and if you will tell us the truth about things.”
Tracy translated Oliver’s announcement, with emphasis on the hellhounds he was threatening them with. Naturally, that was met with more cursing from all three men. Then Talib, Tabish and Musa were blindfolded and led outside to the vehicles which had been brought up. Musa’s arm had been bandaged and, although it was painful, he was in no immediate danger. The bullet had gone through and the bleeding had stopped.
Amanda called her parents who were anxiously waiting with Klauss. She explained things had gone as planned and they were returning to their helicopter with their three captives. Linda made a similar call to Robert’s team.
Twenty minutes later, Linda and her team were airborne in the Black Hawk. They’d said goodbye to Lieutenant Saunders, explaining they’d let him know when they’d be returning to the airport but that it wouldn’t be until much later that day. The blindfolds were kept on their prisoners to prevent them from knowing where they were going and to heighten their discomfort. It was on to Regensburg and the next phase of their plan.

Les told Ed Collingsworth that, according to Mike, Missy was now at Mullah Ahmed Kahtar’s home and ready to materialize once Mike gave her the signal. “She’s located one of his white tunics which she plans to wear, once she materializes.”
Many on Robert’s team were gathered back at their Hanscom AFB conference room, anxiously waiting for further word from their Germany team. Everyone was logged into the website Marie had established, ready for the show to begin.
Ed asked, “Is he alone or will she have to knock out a few of his terrorist buddies once this gets started?”
“He’s alone. She was prepared to disable anyone else, like you’re suggesting, but it doesn’t look like that will be needed.”
Dale Hewson chuckled and said, “We all know how good Missy is at multi-tasking. She’ll handle things on her end, regardless of what comes up. Let’s hope Linda and Oliver are able to manage everything on their end.”
“Will Gene and Amanda be joining the pack and participating as wolves?” asked Marsha. “And, what about Tracy? Will she be doing anything?”
Lieutenant Colonel Schermerhorn said, “I can see you folks in Kabul are thinking along the same lines we are back here. Yes, Gene and Amanda were thrilled when Klauss said they could join in the fun and run as wolves. And Tracy agreed to create several fireballs which the wolves will be racing out underneath of when they first make their appearance. When Oliver calls for his hellhounds, it should look as though all hell is breaking loose.”
