residing in Park City and his knowledge and experience could prove invaluable. It would also give Jenkins a chance to feel the biker out.
    Jenkins took the last drag from his cigarette and ground it out beneath the toe of his combat boot and he drained the last of his whiskey. His mind felt clear, and the whiskey, nicotine and fresh mountain air had eased the anxiety. Now maybe he could get back to planning the Evanston run…

    David focused on his work. He had only been back to work for a few days, and his wounds were far from healed. His shoulder was stiff as hell, and although the inflatable cast on his broken leg allowed him to walk, he was in constant pain. Dr. Reilly had given him pain pills, but they made David’s head feel like it was stuffed with cotton and his stomach slightly queasy. And they made him itch. He couldn’t work in that condition so he simply suffered through the pain.
    But right now he was so absorbed in his work that the pain was forgotten. While he had been out of commission, Pvt. Randy Jordan had been in charge of the network and managed to get a good, operational understanding of how it worked, maybe even more so than David.
    To his delight, he came upon a section of the system that Pvt. Jordan had been unable to access. And he could see that it wasn’t for a lack of trying.
    David took a crack at it himself. In less than five minutes he was through the security protocols, accessing the contents.
    “Nice work, David.” Pvt. Jordan’s voice crackled over the intercom. He was downstairs, working at the secondary security station. “What's there?”
    “It’s what I had hoped it was… What I’ve been looking for…” His fingers were flying across his keyboard. “We can access the complete Orioncorp network.”
    “We’ve had access since we arrived.” Pvt. Jordan replied.
    “Only limited access… But now that we are using Mordecai’s uplink, we can access the entire network, their spy satellites, complete information on the Orioncorp operations worldwide.” Having its capabilities at his disposal, in conjunction with the military access codes Jenkins had procured in Park City would give David complete access to the military network and all that they were linked to…
    David turned back to his work, delving deeper into Mordecai’s systems. The house, outbuildings, and all the grounds were wired and networked as tight as the Main House. Aside from nearly every square inch of his own estate wired for video surveillance, he had installed remote cameras at various points around the lake and surrounding forest, giving him a view of all the houses and estates as well as most of the main trails and pathways. He also had a dozen cameras situated in the town of Kittewa itself!
    Most impressive of all was the defense system, complete with remote and motion controlled .30 caliber machine guns, mines and claymores, and a surface to air missile system!
    By lunchtime David had gained access to the Military network as far as General Parker's clearance allowed. After that, he relied on his skills as a hacker.
    “Hey you, are you ever going to eat?” David was startled out of his zone by Samantha’s voice. He swiveled his chair and saw her standing in the doorway of the security room.
    “W-what?” he asked, confused. He had been so caught up in his work, and he hadn’t been expecting her.
    “It’s 1:30; aren't you going to take a break and eat?” a smile played across her beautiful face, touched upon her large brown eyes.
    “Come here.” David extended his arms out to her, and she came to him without hesitation, settling gently across his lap so not to hurt his broken leg and wrapping her arms around his neck. Without another word they kissed, long and passionate, their lust barely contained.
“I’ve been thinking,” Samantha said after they had broken their
