to third world countries to deliver medicine and shit.
Like they were so noble, whatever. He made his money off government contracts and then a year before her twenty-second birthday she had read they were increasing their trade, shipping to military bases all over the world for the government. He had gotten some huge contract with the military.
“ Right, but if you dig a little bit you can see there are some inconsistencies. Normal people wouldn’t know it. Heck, I didn’t even see it at first until a date jumped out at me and then I went back and looked. A few days before a terrorist bombing your father's company made a delivery to a non-profit organization in the same country. He claimed on his insurance that part of the shipment was stolen by rebels. Funny thing is—there are very few rebels in that particular area. It is one faction against another. They leave everyone else alone but each other. A long going war, nothing to do with shipments and according to this it was medicine. Why the hell would they want to take that? The organization they were shipping to helped both sides,” John said.
“ I'm confused, they are running an insurance scam?” she said thinking about what John was saying.
“ I don’t know, all I can figure is he is not on the up and up. Regardless, he was responsible for the shipment of military items, could be guns, I don’t know. Can we look at the drive?” John asked, looking at her intently. He would never do something she disagreed with, especially when it had to do with her family.
Arden shrugged, “ Whatever I felt died a long time ago. If they are doing something wrong, especially against our military, then they have to be stopped. My father is ruthless. I know that first hand. Let me get the drive.”
Arden and John had loaded up the information she had stolen, it was encrypted, but John knew how to get around it. It only took them about an hour, and two beers to get into the drive. John had been stunned.
“These names are some of the biggest terrorist that we have. He is supplying them with American weapons and making three times the amount of money from the contract, he reports some of them stolen. It would make sense, he reports to the correct people, receives insurance settlements, then government receives a message saying the rebels in the area have been threatening to over throw the government, or something along those line. Our government wants to make sure that doesn’t happen, so they send more weapons. Your dad makes out like a bandit. He gets paid from the government, from the terrorist, and from the insurance company all for the same box,” John said.
“ I have to show this to the Commander, but I was called out, we leave in the morning. Can I take this and keep it safe. I will make sure to call when I get back. We can go to the Feds together,” John said.
Arden had agreed and forgotten about it when she heard the news about John. Now it made her wonder, had someone found out they had the info? Had John spoken to someone about the contents of the drive? Shit a lot of questions were running through her head. Her sobs had dissipated and she was sitting in the middle of the bed when Mason and West came in slowly.
Chapter Ten
They brought out the big guns. Everything a woman could want when she is going through a crisis. Both of the moms had given them ideas and then they had called Sable and Jolie. All of the woman had been thrilled to find out Mason and West were declaring their intentions to a woman.
At the same time they had briefed Boyscout and Master Chief about what was going on. Apparently, Thane had already called but they still wanted to hear what was going on from them.
“We have put feelers out everywhere. Even to all of our snitches we have ever used, we contacted to see what the chatter had been about on this. So far, nothing, but we are hopeful that we will find something to tell us who is behind this. All of our missions, all of our
