He wanted to understand the people involved, the connections surrounding them, the university’s response, and whether important evidence had been overlooked.
For years, Daniel had tried to leave his old identity behind.
But now his daughter needed him.
The Return of Task Force Specter
Reyes eventually asked the question Daniel had been expecting.
“Do you want the team activated?”
Daniel closed his eyes.
He remembered the people who had once served beside him.
Captain Brooks.
Sergeant Major Kane.
Lieutenant Chen.
They had all moved on with their lives, just as Daniel had.
But they had once promised that if he ever needed their help, they would listen.
Daniel looked through the glass toward Lily’s hospital room.
Her injuries reminded him why he had made the call.
“The Ghost Colonel is coming back?” Reyes asked.
Daniel shook his head slightly.
“No.”
He paused.
“A father is.”
There was another moment of silence.
Then Reyes responded with words Daniel had not heard in almost twenty years:
“Task Force Specter awaits your orders, sir.”
For Daniel, the decision was no longer about returning to the past.
It was about protecting his daughter and uncovering the truth.
And for the first time in nearly two decades, the secrets he had buried were beginning to surface.
What Happens Next?
Daniel’s investigation is only beginning.
Will he discover who was behind the attack?
Can Lily recover from her injuries?
And will the return of Task Force Specter expose secrets that powerful people have spent years trying to keep hidden?
The answers may change everything Daniel thought he knew about the life he left behind.
