"Rule number one," Harley continued, unfazed by Coop's joking, "is never
to go out alone. I want us all to travel in groups of at least two."

When everyone nodded, he continued. "I also want us all to carry our
cell phones at all times, and to immediately report any suspicious
activities or persons to Corrie, who will be our liaison among the team.
That way, if you get into trouble, we'll know where you are- and can
come running if needed." ;

"Will we need to talk in code?" Jersey asked. "I know cell phones aren't
particularly secure."

Corrie took the question. "Not with these, Jersey. They're keyed to the
satellites that the U.S. doesn't have access codes to. However, just to
be safe, I'd use a little common sense in what we say. We just don't
know what technology this Desert Fox has up his sleeve."

"Third rule, always go armed,'' said Harley. "We don't think Farrar
knows we're after hirq, but like Corrie says, we also don't know if he's
got any spies in the SUSA that may have gotten wind of our mission, so
be careful."

"If we see him or some of his cohorts, are we to take immediate action?"
Coop asked. "Or just report back and keep them under surveillance?"

might be able to interrogate him to find out more about their plans and
capabilities, but if we do that, Farrar will suspect someone's on his
trail and may go deeper undercover."

"Do we have any photographs of him or any of his key officers?" Beth asked.

Harley shook his head. "Not since he was much younger, so they won't do
us much good. We do think most if not all of his men are of Middle
Eastern descent, so they are probably dark-skinned with black or dark
brown hair."

"Blondes need not apply in his army, huh?" Jersey said.

"Not from what Intel tells us," Harley replied, "but we do think part of
his mission here is to recruit disaffected U.S. citizens, especially
military or FPPS personnel, to his cause. If he plans to invade the
U.S., he's gonna need some spies on the inside in order for his campaign
to do any good."

"From what I've seen of the situation over here," Coop said, "it
shouldn't be too hard for him to find people willing to join his forces
