Ashur Badawi drives through a near-empty Damascus route, receiving emergency alerts that confirm attacks, escalating chaos, and the collapse of protections he relied on. As Bashar al-Assad has already fled with family and wealth, Ashur confronts the consequences of his own covert role and scrambles to secure identity documents and a weapon while trying to manage family safety and misinformation at home.","ALPHA STRIKE  \nDAVID BRUNS  \nJ .R .

In the backseat, Ashur Badawi picked at his cuticles, the only outward sign of the stress that raged inside his body.  \nI should have brought the laptop home with me, he chided himself.  \nHow could he have known the Syrian rebels would make that much progress overnight? He’d been told by Bashar al-Assad himself only yesterday that they had at least two weeks to make arrangements. A lie. While Ashur slept next to his wife last night, Bashar had fled to Moscow on his private jet.  \nAshur cursed under his breath. That bastard. After all Ashur had done for him, all that beautiful money, he’d cast his banker aside like so much excess baggage. Ashur had laundered billions of dollars for the Syrian dictator. Without him, Bashar al-Assad’s regime would have collapsed years ago.  \n“Bastard,” he muttered.  \n“Pardon, sir?” Yakub’s eyes found his in the rearview mirror.  \nAshur shook his head and looked out the window.
