“I’ll start the report,” Rollins added.

“Thanks,” I said hollowly. He would notate this phone call and enter it into the database and the process would begin to move Jake from “Active” to “Missing in Action.”

“I’m sorry, Jake. I’m sorry I failed you. I’m sorry I couldn’t help you when you needed me.” I touched the screen where the green dot had disappeared and closed my eyes, trying to imagine where he could be, what he could be doing. He would go to ground and nobody was better prepared to remain in hiding and one step ahead of everybody. He probably expected the Agency to send out a search-and-capture team, but I hoped he understood I had his back and would do everything in my power to protect his life.
