Tired wasn’t the word to describe how he felt. He had been going for days since the American Ty Madison had been taken. He sat looking at the file in front of him. So far no word on who claimed responsibility. They had no clues, nothing. To add to the problem was Rose O’Malley. He could tell when talking to her that she wouldn’t leave. How could he expect her to? She was doing something super human. She was doing all the leg work and stirring up trouble in the process. He had reports that her father, Timothy O’Malley of the Boston Globe, was doing his own fair share of work. He had a separate file on him. Served in Vietnam as an AP reporter. Had gone on his own, worked with Tim Page, along with the late Sean Flynn and Dana Stone. He had embedded with the Mujahedeen and got to know some of Afghanistan’s modern day heroes. Smith had it from his sources that O’Malley was in contact with the President of Afghanistan. He was also flying to Jordan to meet with the King of Jordan.
