Hidden Agenda

New York
2001

After Nine-Eleven, the security agencies looked at themselves and the way they worked with each other. They first looked within and started to clear out the dead wood. One man saw this coming and had made plans. Plans that would give him financial security for the rest of his life and the position to carry on with the job he had been born to do.

With Building Seven being taken down, the Font had to find a new place to site the facility for the government’s secret transactions. The location needed to be easily accessible but at the same time be a bastion. He found the perfect place. Now it was up to him to make it a fortress.

Bill’s idea of a successful heist was to be back at home before anyone knew about it. He wanted to retire but the chance to move into the big leagues was too good to turn down. They needed his expertise. He wanted to prove himself one last time before he retired.

Danny’s dad didn’t return home. He was going to find him. He had clues but didn’t know how to get started. He needed help in the Big Apple. Then he remembered reading about Julie. She would be the one.

Julie sensed the boy was telling the truth, at least, as he knew it. She called in a favour from her cop buddy. Then all hell broke loose.

The story moves from a Private Investigator in New York to Virginia and Washington DC. It involves the FBI, CIA, National Security and the current President and four former Presidents.

But who controlled who in a game where trust was in short supply and loyalties were pushed to the limits.

Who can you trust when everybody has their own agenda? A Hidden Agenda.
