Outline

Stonebridge is reassigned to Section 20, though he desires to kill Hanson.

Section 20, meanwhile, learn that the triggers are in Niger, in the hands of Othmani (Saïd Taghmaoui).

Their first lead to a compound is sidetracked by a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) air strike. Scott is briefly taken by the CIA, and gets reacquainted with Christy Bryant (Stephanie Vogt), who has a history with him. Section 20 follow Othmani to a hotel in Niamey.

He evades them, but is soon tracked again to the Algerian border where he is captured by Tuareg warriors.

The matriarchal leader Markunda (Laëtitia Eïdo) plans to auction Othmani between the British and El Soldat, Othmani’s brother who plans to buy the triggers.

However, El Soldat’s men attempt to take Othmani by force, but are stopped by Scott and Stonebridge.

They believe the triggers are on a bus, but as they intercept it, El Soldat’s men arrive, forcing Scott and Stonebridge to abandon the search and escape.
