Jacob Rico

Jacob Rico remains oblivious to God's work in his life. And even the believers seem befuddled by God's mysterious ways when it comes to Rico. Fortunately, they are obedient to the Holy Spirit's promptings, however absurd they seem, and they all play their part in Rico's bizarre scheme. Even in the minds of the most ardent atheists in the upper echelons of the intelligence community, the Hill, and the White House, it is without question that invisible, otherworldly hands have played a role in the execution and complete success of Rico's treacherous, treasonous plot. Especially in light of the fact that acting basically single-handedly, in the visible world at least, he succeeds where a large force would likely have failed. But is Rico a hero or a traitor to his country? The visible enemy force that takes part in the attack does not intend in any way to let the target live. The carnage they leave behind gives evidence of that. And heads of agencies in the intelligence community will roll, given that on their watch, a single operative and a squad-sized attack force plots and carries out this operation - and on U.S. soil no less. Protecting Rico's identity and not releasing the real nature of mission becomes paramount for the sitting president. God help the nation if they learn that a single American former special operations troop planned and executed this operation with complete success. But protecting him directly will take a small army. And will the president-elect, only days away from being sworn in and becoming the most powerful woman in the world, incline her ear to the God above for what He would have her do? Will she risk political disaster if the God of Abraham asks her to shield the man she had known before? Will she choose instead to ride the wave of sympathy and the bowing down of those on the Hill to accomplish great things for her country by letting things unfold and head where she senses they will - to a life of isolation in federal prison or death by firing squad for the man, Jacob Rico?
