Candle Bearclaw, a gifted computer analyst/programmer with talents she’s buried when recruited out of college by the CIA. After fifteen years, she abruptly resigns her position with the agency. She returns to her sleepy hometown only to discover her childhood crush has also returned and a violent crime has been committed.
Due to their covert operations experience, Candle and Miacoh are thrown together to assist Homeland Security, FBI, and her father, former chief of police, with a murder investigation. As they search for the perpetrators, will their secrets be revealed as the investigation takes an unusual twist that could blow the case wide open.
A new peek between the pages of Security Force of Two:
Candle Bearclaw stood in front of Carl’s large mahogany desk, laid the unsealed white envelope face up on the polished desktop, and slid it toward her boss.
“What’s this?” Carl eyed the offending envelope.
“It’s what we talked about last week, my resignation.” Candle swung her briefcase onto the leather chair beside her. Pulling out a laptop computer, a manila file folder, and a memory stick, she sat them on the corner of her boss’s desk. “It’s all here, including the passwords necessary to access the sensitive files, my work thus far on the assignment, including my contacts, and it’s a good stopping point for me. Someone else should be able to pick up exactly where I left off, seamlessly. I am requesting a no contact status by you and the agency.” She pulled out a .380 semi-automatic tucked into the waistband of her slacks, ejected the magazine, and racked the slide open. Gingerly setting the gun on the desk beside the other items, she sighed.
He looked across the desk at her, observing her actions. “I understand your position, but that may not be possible. How deep were you?”
Hands flat on the desktop, she leaned over and glared at him. “Deep enough to understand the assignment went against every fiber of my being. You knew that when you assigned it to me, and yet, you did it anyway, knowing it would be my final act as a CIA operative.”

A new peek between the pages of Security Force of Two:
As Miacoh turned the SUV into one of the School of Mines parking lots, one wing of a building exploded with debris flying everywhere and flames shooting over sixty feet in the air. He slammed on the brakes, put his hand over Candle’s head, and ducked over her as flying objects assaulted the vehicle. Cayson lay sprawled across the back seat.
The blast’s concussion overturned vehicles smashed them into other cars causing more explosions. Cars with shattered windows lined the rear of the parking lot just in front of their SUV.
Moments after the rain of debris stopped, Miacoh, Candle, and Cayson jumped out of the SUV and glanced around. They ran toward the scene, masks from Candle’s first aid kit covering their mouth and nose. They coughed and choked as the scent of burning debris, and heavy smoke filled the air. Their eyes teared as they fought their way towards the crater where the building had been. Due to the intense heat surrounding the crater, they stopped several yards from point of explosion.
“If there was anyone in the building, they were incinerated. Beyond help now. We should wait here for the emergency personnel.” Cayson raised his mask, mopped his face with his handkerchief, and replaced his mask.
Pointing at the flames, “That’s the Chemistry building,” Candle screamed. “Could be noxious fumes. Need to let everyone know to stay away.” She pulled out her phone and dialed Jedediah’s number with homeland security as she ran back toward her vehicle, motioning the others to follow. “I’ve gas masks in my emergency bag in the back of the SUV.” If their hunch was correct, this wasn’t the primary target. She was sure of that. After four rings, she left a message and stuffed the phone back in her pocket.
