Summary

Owen was a few hours early for his flight out of Virginia Beach and was anxious to go. They finally got word to move forward with the mission. They were being flow to Jalalabad in a C-17. The first leg of the trip to Germany would take nine hours. After a short break, they would make the eight-hour trip to Bagram then a short hop to Jalalabad.

On the flight, Owen talked to Jen, a CIA analyst who was one hundred percent certain that the man in Abbottabad was bin Laden. She’d been working on tracking him down for five years. Jen was not in favor of the ground assault; she was for bombing it. Jalalabad was just a few miles from the Pakistan border. Owen had been to J-Bad so often that it felt like home.
