have an okay from high above or the ‘Ride of the Valkyries’ can’t happen. The Monster Squad did a couple with tentative okay fom Denny and would probably do them without permission, but John’s agreed it’s not a good idea. The jets have to be grounded during a black op or they could be launched on us, especially on American soil. I’ve looked over this place they have and it is a gorgeous place. We certainly don’t want to blow it into atom dust. Anyone want to guess what I have in mind?”
    “You’re thinking confiscation! Can something like that be done?”
    “Sure it can, Kabong,” Nick answered. “We could build a helicopter pad on the premises. The confiscation may require some creative alterations in ownership though. It could be a halfway house paradise between us and the Monster Squad. It’s nearly sixteen acres. We could hangar a couple of helicopters there and maybe even one of those Harrier jets that can take off straight up.”
    “Those take maintaining same as the Blackhawk will. I have been studying with all the material you gave me on our UH-60M,” Cala said.
    “We would have to employ a crew at the Monster Squad Hangar, or our local Monterey Regional Airport, for serious maintenance. I serviced helicopters and jets during a CIA gig overseas. The regular maintenance has to be done religiously, employing intricate checklists. Since we already have the hangar at Regional, housing the beginning of our air fleet, we can split duties with the Monster Squad for any quick response aircraft we keep in the Pilot Hill Hangar. When we need something major done to the Blackhawk, or whatever else we can procure, we’ll have to do so under Laredo’s supervision at possibly a military facility. We can get the more involved overhauls done through Denny Strobert or Paul at a military base. Denny managed to get the ‘Sea Wolf’ and ‘Valkyrie’ turned into combat ships. I’m sure we can keep our quick strike force on the down low if Laredo can oversee servicing at Regional, or the Monster Squad Hangar. I’d like to confiscate this place in Pilot Hill as a secret launch area for wiping out Isis nests we find. I know we can get the clearances. Think of being able to leave from there, under the radar, for a hit within range, and be back in a time frame without suspicion.”
    “Pilot Hill’s over three hours away though,” Gus pointed out. “We’d still be stuck flying out of Regional to get there. You have over ten acres where John lives.”
    “Can’t do it there, Payaso. The locals’ heads would explode if I built a hangar on my land in the Valley,” Nick replied. “The first time a helicopter or anything else left my place, I’d have everyone from the PD to the National Guard going over our interrogation and storage facility. You’re right about the connecting part. We’ll have to puzzle that part out, depending on the mission. I love the idea of owning that place though in Pilot Hill. It doesn’t get a lot of snowfall because it’s a couple of hours down from Lake Tahoe. I like it for another safe house we can use as an armory too, along with doubling as a launch site.”
    “You really have embraced John Harding’s Monster Squad, Muerto,” Cala stated. “Gus has said you hated working with anyone. Now, we are becoming an army.”
    “John started out with only Lucas and Casey in the North under Strobert. They have a network now with Alexi Fiialkov watching the ports and streets, police on the pad for quick reports or cover, and a much larger force of killers. We’ve seen them in action. They can be counted on. This underground terrorist war keeps expanding, thanks to the idiots in government importing the bastards, or leaving the borders wide open for them to stroll in. For the first time ever, I’m not sure we can avoid a serious war on our soil. Like I told Gus once – I don’t like being hunted, and definitely not in my own land.”
    The four sipped from their drinks quietly
