Chapter 3

Lysander's heart jumped when he heard the screams.

Once we arrived at the shopping center we quickly discovered it was necessary to leave one of the guys out at the cars so he could relay our communications. The radios worked just fine portable to portable while inside the center and we could hear the repeaters, but we couldn’t reach them from inside the buildings and we could barely communicate with the agent we left out at the cars.

Bruce was the perfect secret agent; athletic, smart, seductive and fearless. All this meant that it would take the agency's entire arsenal to make him look like the sultry female required for tonight's task.

The Faithful, North African and Middle Eastern Islamic nations, are plotting to seize the oil resources of the Middle East. By controlling the earth's oil and its major trade routes, they plan to bring the world to its knees. Then, when the entire world is kneeling, the Faithful of Allah will read to them from the Koran, preaching the message of Islam, the True Faith. The Faithful will stop at nothing to achieve their goal. But how far will they go? And how many lives will it cost?

Eldorado part 5.

Okay I’m a wee bit nerved up getting on board I’ve been iffy with boats and rivers and stuff. It’s us not in my experiences as things go and all. I lead my horse up the ramp and I’m followed by Daniel and the she’s talking in a few languages and as soon as we’re on the desk there’s a hiss of steam and we’re movin.

Alrighty I’m right surprised by a whole lot of this thing here. The boat’s made of metal more obvious on the inside than outside but they have a stable here with four stalls and I get some help with my horse as the sailors here are helping out.

I know a little Portuguese when I hear it but they’ve got some of those East Indian fella’s there too with the turbans and such and I see most of em have these long curved daggers and small pistols too.

Alright…some of these fellas are bare breasted but girls I think with really tiny breasts it’s very strange and exotic and there’s even a few other folk I’ve never seen before. But y’know these boy-women East Indians look kinda tough.
