An old colleague working unofficially for the current government asks Wolfgang to work on a case. The previous government had peddled the notion of combining all border and customs services under one umbrella agency, something that the current government has quashed. However, some of those forces from the previous government are trying to resurrect the idea, the agent now tasked with gathering ammunition to battle the idea. The previous government had used a bomb threat at the local baseball stadium eighteen months ago as a case to support the umbrella agency, the bomb threat billed as a terrorist threat. However, the current government believes that the former government may have been complicit in that threat to support the umbrella agency. Wolfgang decides to call in an old asset to work the file for him, that asset being a man named Norman. Beyond briefing Norman on the case, Wolfgang may have to hold his hands in more ways than one as Norman has a weakness for flamboyant young men...

Norman starts piecing together all the connections in the puzzle which he and Wolfgang know is a conspiracy of some sort, as Khalil Mustafa was not just a young jihadi intent on detonating an explosive in a public place. Beyond Wolfgang wanting Norman to continue to work on Sonya who he believes will ultimately provide some useful information whenever she is in a more continual lucid state, they begin to look into Mustafa as a person, an area which they have largely left unexplored so far, such as speaking with his mother. In the process of their talks with people, Wolfgang and Norman may have stumbled onto a major lead when one of the players admits to knowing that they are not "the insurance people" as they are portraying themselves to be and knowing more than what appears on the surface, those specifics which the person will not divulge until a deal is made for immunity. Meanwhile, Fergie makes his initial contact with Rufus, who outwardly does not take too favorably to being a ... Written by Huggo
