Excerpt from the book:
"After winding up loose ends of several ongoing operations, Chief Robbins was sure that there was nothing left for the day and went home to catch some sleep. Being part of the Border Patrol, it was no surprise for Chief Robbins and his teams to get calls at odd hours of the night, and often it would make them jump from their beds. Nevertheless, everyone on the Border Patrol was used to such incidences. Lately, there had been only a few significant incident calls received during the night which gave the Chief and his personnel a brief respite as the nation's Southeast border remained relatively quiet.
However, their bubble was soon to burst, and the Border Patrol was about to get into a case that would leave a life-long imprint on their memories.
Jonathan had come for a fishing trip to relax and get away from his hectic life, yet he still couldn't bring himself to bed. His recent project had him up at night. He was spending more and more time at the office, and when he was at home, he would end up planning for the next day as if his life had nothing else except work. Noticing that his work kept him occupied and needing a break from this tiresome routine, Jonathan decided to go fishing after handing over the recent project to his boss. He called his cousin Bill, who had been pestering him for well over a year, to see if he could accompany him for a relaxing weekend." Read More in the book...
