FUGITIVE MANHUNT

• Alexander Kovas and his wife Lucia Walker, based at their estate in Minsk, Belarus, rejoined the mission as the Fusion Group’s elite European members.

• Kovas knew the fugitives needed rogue pilots to escape and move their supplies — $600,000 in computer systems and $200,000 in weapons and explosives.

• He’d hunted down black market pilots and the secret airports they used. This Dark Web tactic had helped Kovas win some very challenging battles before.

• Murphy posted mammoth bounties in the digital underworld. Hoping that greed would beat loyalty.

• Hoping someone talked. The ghost war began. No rules. No mercy. No end in sight.

• The Fusion Group was attempting to find the Vortex fugitives who had the money, expertise and resources to vanish forever.
