Here's a sneak preview...

“You seem to have some mighty good intelligence goin’ on there, Barnes.”

            The Canadian winked and reached for the briefcase he had carefully set down on the seat next to him. The SEAL had noticed he had not let the case out of his sight since their meeting back on the base. Unlocking it, Cookie slid out a photograph, handing it over to Stu who immediately recognized it as a satellite image from a spy bird. Seeing TACSAT-4 in the ID section printed on the photo, he realized that someone must be calling in a lot of favours to get their hands on this stuff. The image showed part of an industrial area in what appeared to be a small city, although he could not be sure as the photo did not extend much outside of a few blocks.

            “What am I looking at?”
 “See that building?” Cookie jabbed a toothpick he’d taken from the small jar on the table at the image.
 “Looks like a warehouse. Maybe a small factory?”
 “That’s where they were holding him as of twenty-four hours ago.” Cookie reached into the briefcase and took out another photo. “This one is of the surrounding area.”
 The SEAL reached for the glossy sheet of paper and nearly dropped it as his eyes focused on the image. “You have got to be kidding!” Stu sputtered; an incredulous look on his face.
 “I wish I was,” the submariner answered quietly.

            Ensign Stewart Cunningham carefully looked over the image. Someone had written descriptions and directions on parts of the photo, identifying the building as being located in the city of Yelizovo on the Kamchatka Peninsula. That piece of land, which jutted out into the Barents Sea on Russia’s west coast, was also the site of one of that country’s largest and most secure submarine bases.
