“No social media at all?”

“None whatsoever.”

“What about others? Someone may have posted something on you.”

“No one I spend any time with has a social media profile.”

“Except me.”

“You barely use it.”

“How’d you get involved in this kind of work, anyway?”

“I was recruited from special forces.”

“Huh. I have a friend who is ex-special forces. Peter Black. He retired a long time ago, though.”

“How do you know him?”

“He did some work for my dad. He was incredible. I know you guys are highly trained, but the stuff he could do…maybe it was God.”

“God?”

“Yeah. I’d almost go so far as to say that his faith was stronger than my dad’s, and that’s saying something.”

“You think God gave your friend special powers?”

“I think he allowed God to use him in extraordinary ways. And because Peter was always obedient, God did some miraculous things through him.”

Robby sucked on his tooth. That comment about obedience both got under his skin and intrigued him. It was crazy to think that God could use a guy like him to do something beyond his own abilities. “What’s he doing now?”

“I’m not sure. I haven’t talked to him in years. He’s probably out saving people somewhere. I remember he wasn’t the type to sit still for very long.”

“I know the feeling. Now that we’re all cleaned up, I’ll give my team a call and let them know where we’re up to. Start getting our trip to Burma organized.”

“I’d still like you to reconsider my coming along.”

“Would it make you feel better if I said I’d think about it?”

“Is that the truth?”

“Sure. Why not?”

“Really? Thank you. Consider the fact that I was a local for a long time. I know the people and the area. I can speak some of the language, although I’m probably a little rusty.”

“You’re really trying to sell this.”

“I really want to come.”

“I’ll make that call.”

Robby went to the window after he dialed and checked through the blinds. He swore when Holland answered.

“What did I do?” Holland said with a laugh.

“Hey Holland. Sorry. We had someone watching the front of Hannah’s house.”

“Had?”
