Chickpea was unable to fathom what Mountain Eagle was up to, but Roland, who had just made a call, sensed the bone-chilling implication.
He did not call his wife and children, instead, he reached out to his superior at the Seals, only to receive news akin to a harbinger of doom.
His superior informed him that the FBI had called to inquire about his and his partner's whereabouts and attempted to access their military service records.
Such an intrusive request was rebuffed, but when his superior called Special Operations Command to trace their steps, he learned they had disappeared after landing in Los Angeles.
Keeping their whereabouts secret is common in their level of unit, but it's exceedingly rare for Special Operations Command to directly state they did not report in.
Roland's superior showed loyalty, promptly telling him to immediately report back to the Seal base upon receiving Roland's call, assuring they could manage any issue encountered.
