Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe Page #5

Oh, seor-

Buenas noches.

So I decided to conduct a scout of my own.

I did a basic perimeter check, searched

for tire tracks, signs of actively.

The only hostile forces I found

was a nest of spiders as big as quarters.

- And in the middle of fighting

those little bastards off...

I hear voices.

I go in, check it out, thinking maybe

It was the Espada Ardlente guys.

But what do I find instead? Veracruz...

...unloading a bunch of weapons

from a hidey-hole in the mountain.

I listen in on their conversation,

and guess what I hear.

They're planning on attacking

the clinic themselves...

...and making it look

like the rebels did it.

And after I make my report-

We destroy the clinic

and I shoot the American in the head.

Son of a b*tch.

I've had lots of stuff go bad

in operations...

but finding out

I was supposed to get killed...

...as part of a plot to get U.S. military aid,

that was a new one.

So I just stayed calm...

and made my way back to camp

as efficiently as possible.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Let's go back here. I'm confused.

You're saying you did not make contact

with Espada Ardiente at this point?

Because our reports indicate-

Well, where did you get the reports?

From Veracruz's paramilitaries?

You think they were gonna announce...

that they were officially planning on

putting two in the back of my head?

What I really wanna hear about is how

you were kidnapped by terrorist forces.

Oh, yeah.

Well, that's not entirely accurate.

See, I couldn't let Veracruz know

that I was onto him...

so I put together a little

kidnapping scene for them to find...

and double-timed it back to the clinic.

What the hell are you doing out here, man?

It's 5:
00 a. m.

You and me need to talk. Now.

Okay, so I-I-I'm confused here.

- Why would anybody wanna attack us?

- Because it's a ploy.

If they can make this terrorist group look like

they massacred a clinic and killed yours truly...

Veracruz can do anything he wants down

here and get a blank check to do it.

Right. But here's the thing.

We're not political.

Okay? I've never even heard

of the Es- What is it?

- Espada Ardiente.

- Yeah.

It happens all the time.

I saw it when I worked in Africa.

Some military group needs aid...

so they do something really terrible

and blame it on their enemies.

The point is,

you guys gotta move fast, okay?

in the meantime, I need your sat phone.

- Okay. Um, good luck there.

- Okay.

When we need to make a call,

we have to go all the way to Santa Marta.

Seriously, you got nothing?

Hey, we're not the Mayo Clinic.

And quick question. How do you

propose that we get out of here?
