Book Three: The Agent's Retribution

Zeke provided a brief verbal account of the ordeal and planned to write a formal report as ordered. First, she had hoped to get her boss to make an informal phone call explaining that a civilian nurse, Anne Reynolds, had become involved in an undercover operation and was unable to make any phone calls.
Special Agent in Charge de la Jolla simply looked at the piece of paper with the name and phone number of Anne's manager, then at Zeke. "Are you serious?"
"Yes, ma'am, if you wouldn't mind. I know it sounds silly, but she just started a new position, and she really can't explain where she's been..." Zeke smiled sheepishly. The call was made.

When Zeke asked to be transferred to New Mexico, she had naively expected a pretty boring assignment but in the two months since her arrival--while on her supposed medical leave--it had been anything but boring. Within two weeks of her arrival, she had been tracked down by people connected to her last case in Chicago, and they beat her viciously then sexually assaulted her.

The newcomer was then asked to work undercover, as a favor to the Agency, before officially starting, and made a good connection with a well connected Mexican National, who now seemed to have something to do with her abduction. While visiting Arizona with a friend only two weeks prior, they were both abducted and pistol whipped to gain information on a Guantanamo detainee.
Now finally this very special agent officially starts to actually work, works one day...and the two women were again abducted and this time taken to Mexico by the same people who are still trying to get an indicted murderer released from Guantanamo Bay.
Special Agent Zeke Beignet was rumored to be an excellent field agent but was certainly proving to be a lightning rod for trouble.
Zeke thanked her boss and quickly returned to her cubicle to write up her rather convoluted report. Before discussing her negotiated Deal with the Devil, she wanted to talk with Captain Donovan, since he was her original contact in New Mexico and the one with the interest in the Border affairs and the connection with the CIA.
