29 | JAGGARD
John Jaggard stared at the alert message on the screen in front of him. A seize-and-detain notice for Dodge and Sam. What was that about?
According to the screen, he was the one who had given the order. But he hadn’t. Unless he was going mad. It had been a mad kind of an afternoon, but he’d know if he had given an order like that!
He’d remember something like that.
According to the notes on the action command, Dodge and Sam were implicated in the attack on Swamp Witch. But they hadn’t been involved as far as he knew.
He would have remembered something like that too.
The terrorists were back. That was the only solution that made sense. They were back, and they were using the system, his system, to issue fake orders.
A flashing alert on his computer screen warned him of an incoming message. Urgent. A neuro-communication. He grappled with the headset, still not used to the technology.
He plugged it in and waited for the message.
And then he remembered everything.
