Operation Crystal Ball - Chapter Two
by Greg Rucka, Leandro Fernandez, John Dranski
Chace meets with Youssef in the Cairo embassy. She ruffles the feathers of the local station chief. She reports back in once the meeting is over. Youssef told her that Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ) had the means and intent to strike a British target with poison gas. He gives them the grid coordinates for a facility somewhere in Sudan. He wants a substantial amount of money before he will tell them more.
Kittering mopes while Chace is in Egypt. His mood picks up once she returns. They share a tender moment in a pub after she gets back.
Paul Crocker tries to get some help from the CIA but they want something in return, a black op. There’s someone they want killed. Crocker decides to send Kittering to do the job.
I’ve read this story before but it has been a couple decades since then. I’ve got a not so great feeling about how Kittering’s mission is going to go.
The story feels like it is still building. There has been some conflict but it has yet to get really interesting. I’m still on board. I trust that the creative team will make it worth my time.
