heart rate picked up. This was it. He just knew it.
    “Yeah.”
    “There has been a report of two women missing in Chadron, Nebraska. Each woman was taken within a week of the other. I want you and your men to go there and check it out. I want alerts set up so that if any more women are reported missing you will be one of the first to know.”
    “Any ideas on why the women would have disappeared?” Whit asked.
    “There have been rumors from the underground of a sex trade operation in the works. I haven’t been able to ascertain whether that is true but with women missing I’m not ruling it out, because there is never any smoke without a fire.”
    “All right, we’ll pack up and be out of here within the hour.”
    “Good. Just remember if you have any problems you can always call on the Elite Dragons.”
    “We’ll be fine.” Whit could just imagine how well it would go over calling the retired comrades away from their families. He and his men were more than capable of handling the situation. It’s what they had been training for, and unless they found themselves in dire straits he had no intention of asking the Elite Dragons for help.
    “Okay. I’ll be expecting a full report on your return.” Tony disconnected the call.
    Whit quickly sent all team members a text and then headed for his room. Once his clothes were packed in his large duffel bag he headed for the office to await the rest of the team. His brothers Hayward and Dalton were already waiting for him and over the next couple of minutes the rest of the men arrived.
    “Okay, we are heading to Chadron, Nebraska. Two women have gone missing and the CO suspects a sex trade operation. Dalt, I want you to get on to the police database and set up alerts so that if any more women are reported missing we are alerted from the start. It’s going to take us ten hours to get to our destination. Hay, make us a booking at a motel. All right, let’s get loaded up.”
    Whit walked to the blank wall off to the side of the room, crouched down, and slid his fingertips along the skirting board. When he felt the small indent he pushed in. The wall slid back and row upon row of weapons was revealed. There were pistols and semi-automatic rifles, as well as automatic rifles, tear gas bombs, Tasers, and anything else a soldier would need.
    Once everyone had their desired weapons, they headed out.

    The team converged in Dalton’s and his brothers’ motel room after stowing their own gear in their respective rooms. Dalt was already tapping away at his laptop making sure the alarms were in place. Once done, he sat back in his chair and waited for Whit to speak.
    “Tomorrow we are going to walk the city. Each team will come in from different directions. Dalt, Hay, and I will take the north side of town. Cal, you, Fletch, and Law can go south. Ty, Rand, and Brom can take the east side, and, Thorpe, you, Adam, and Hunt can take the west point.
    “I want you all to lower your shields and see if you can get a read on anyone who may be up to no good. We all know we can’t read everyone, that some people have a natural ability to shield their thoughts, but do the best you can. Some of those with the natural skills to shield sometimes leak the occasional emotion. Are there any questions?” Whit asked.
    “No,” was echoed throughout the room.
    “Make sure your communication devices are working before you head out. I don’t want us leaving together and bringing any more suspicion down on us. Since it was dark when we arrived and only the desk clerk knows we are here, I want to leave it that way. We’ll leave at 0700 hours. The rest of you follow at fifteen-minute intervals.
    “Okay, let’s get some sleep.”
    Dalt finished up with the software and then saved his work. He couldn’t wait to use his abilities and try to find the missing women. He had never been able to understand why people always picked on the weaker sex. He felt sick to his stomach knowing
