Chapter 28
CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
Bang checked his watch, wondering where the hell Wave was. The man was late. Maybe they’d misunderstood, and Wave wasn’t coming. He’d received the text and said he would be there, but he was thirty minutes late. SEALs weren’t ever late.
“Maybe he forgot where the base was,” Cy said.
Bang rolled his eyes. “He should be here.” His stomach tightened as a bad feeling rolled through him. Something was terribly wrong.
“I’ve called him twice, and he hasn’t answered,” Foster said.
Bang drew in a slow breath, knowing he had to say something. “Something is wrong.”
“How wrong do you think it is?” Cy asked.
Wave held Cy’s gaze. “We need to look for him.”
The commander came over, concern on his face. “He hasn’t shown up?”
“No, sir,” Cy said.
The commander shook his head. “I don’t like this.”
They were in the secure room, and their phones were outside, tucked into a cubby. “Let me grab my phone.”
Bang left the room and grabbed his phone.
A year ago, they’d decided to share locations.
It wasn’t something they had to do. It was just a way of keeping up with each other.
T had gotten drunk one night, and he’d ended up being roofied.
Luckily, he’d realized there was a problem and shared his location with Thario before he passed out.
Thario had directed them to T’s location.
After that, they decided to share where they were.
T also decided to stop going out and partying alone.
Bang had been thinking about deleting the ability for the application to show where he was, not because he thought his privacy was being invaded, but because he just didn’t think it was necessary. Now he was thankful he hadn’t stopped sharing his location because he had access to Wave’s location.
The guys crowded around, watching him pull up the app. Wave wasn’t anywhere close to base, and he wasn’t at home.
“Where is he?” Cy asked.
“Something is wrong,” Bang said. “He’s nowhere near where he is supposed to be.”
The commander was there, shaking his head. “This could be associated with the mission. I’ll send MP’s to his house and see if something is wrong. You all go track him down and get him to safety.”
Bang had no clue what they would be walking into, but he had a feeling this was bad.
There wasn’t any way Wave had slagged off.
He wouldn’t travel in the opposite direction of base if he was supposed to be on base.
Wave was a serious guy and loved his job.
This had to be something bad, and they needed to intervene.
“We’re going in hot, right?” Bang asked the guys.
“Hell yes. Something is wrong, and we’re going to get our buddy back,” Cy said. “Let’s get some equipment before we leave.”
Bang took off with the group, heading to the area where they stored their equipment. Operating in the USA was frowned upon, but this was a special circumstance. Wave was in trouble, and it could be related to national security. They would do whatever they had to do to save their friend.
