Gideon’s body went solid. Kostya was right. He was absolutely right. Because Kendall was so intent on proving how much smarter he was than Gideon, he’d tipped his hand early, and they had a chance to stop not just the four-hundred-and-seven dams from unleashing a billion gallons of water, but they had a ten-hour head start on saving those people in Pennsylvania!
His eyes took in everybody on the screen, then he turned to Jada. “Kane, Jada, how are you two doing on coming up with a virus to counteract Bonham’s firmware malware?”
“We have something,” Jada answered. “Our problem is if Kendall modified the malware—which you know he has—our virus won’t work.”
“You know Clint discovered a record of thousands of boxes of power strips, extension cords, and batteries being sent from Reynolds, Inc. to dams across the country. Will it matter if the methodology changed from Bonham’s telephone charging cords to power surge protectors?” Gideon asked.
“Nope, that won’t make a difference,” Kane assured him.
“So, you’ll be able to modify your virus on the fly to counteract his virus. It’s not going to be a problem for you two.”
He watched his lover look at him with her big brown eyes. She hesitated, then her eyes fired up, and the powerful woman he loved shone through. “You’re right, it won’t be.”
“Once they have that, we’ll have to get that virus physically patched into each site,” Clint noted.
“It would be great if we could find out which dams he targeted, but if we can’t we’ll go to all of them,” Gideon said.
“A lot of these were built by the Army Corps of Engineers, I think we could use them and the National Guard to get the patch onsite and installed,” Ryker said.
Everybody nodded.
“We’re going to need—” Gideon started to say.
“I’m already on it,” Kostya interrupted as he looked up from his phone. “Commander Clark is authorizing a chopper to get us to Pennsylvania as soon as we can all make it to base.”
