Brandon’s email suggested he set his cell phone to vibrate so when the commandos arrived, Steve would be able to contact Ty while he remained concealed. At this distance from the house, that would not be necessary. Ty would be able to listen to a ball game on the radio without the kidnappers being made aware of his presence.

Steve and his team are based at the U.S. Naval Air Station, in Virginia Beach. The good news was that the team had just completed an assignment, so they were, indeed, available to assist. The bad news being that the assignment had been in Seattle, Washington when Steve found time to read the message Valerie had sent it nearly thirty hours earlier. In responding, his email was guarded, as standard operating procedures dictated.

Dearest Val,
Hi babe. I only now got a chance to catch up on my email. Just closed a big deal out here in Seattle. Will be back at Virginia in about eight or nine hours and I’ll round up some buds to help clean the garage when I get home. I know how you hate having chaos reign out there. It will be ready for Mike and Jackie’s party, though. I promise. We’ll be leaving here in an hour and I can get about a six-hour nap on the plane. That way, I’ll be all bright-tailed and bushy-eyed when I arrive. LOL I’ll write more as soon as the mess is all cleaned up and fill you in on where the bodies are buried, so to speak. (Ha, ha)
All my love always, Steve
