Zero Control
By Trina Lane
Got Your Six, Book 1
Keiji Pacheo knows there is something very wrong with one of the smart weapons his company has fast-tracked for production. Something has to be done to protect millions of people from being targeted. But apparently, he is the only one willing. He needs help or artificial intelligence is going to run amok and destroy the world!
Sergeant Major Rick Davis thought it was going to be just another day at work, but he quickly finds himself defending his professional integrity, fleeing from the NSA, and racing around the world with a crazy, but seriously hot, software engineer. He never expected a cyber defense gig for the US Army to turn into a real-life action movie. Therefore, it’s only logical to ask just what IT gods he’s pissed off.
Together Rick and Keiji have to figure out who they can trust to help them navigate the unexpectedly dangerous world of cyberwarfare. Along the way they discover there is nothing so simple as hitting reset or flipping off the power when the problems spread to other military systems. Keiji has to rely on Rick’s skills to keep them alive, and Rick needs Keiji to stop the first set of smart weapons ready to deploy. Can they really make a difference when it seems like the whole world is against them?

Numbers and letters flew across the screen at speeds that could be dizzying. Keiji was using an algorithm to track specific keywords in isolation or in combination on Saber’s hard drives based on the interrogation. They were trying to dig out any additional information or hidden files related to Saber’s supposed NSA work. Keiji was inclined to believe the man, but he knew King and the others required this little thing called evidence. While prosecuting Saber was now off the table, tracking his interactions was critical to identifying whoever was giving him the orders. While his program did its thing, Keiji was extracting the data that was in Saber’s hidden file and passing it along to Rick and the others for analysis.
They’d returned stateside and were held up in Keiji’s Batcave, as Rick had named it. He’d gotten a few raised eyebrows at his interior design and King had to wipe the drool from his mouth when he got a good look at Keiji’s setup. They had decided that his space was the best place to work since it was still off the radar from Blackraptor and their respective agencies.
There was something niggling in the back of his brain. Something Keiji was missing or an idea that was just outside his grasp. He closed his eyes and tried to follow the threads of thought through his brain. It was like tracing computer code. He just needed a quiet space and time, but his office was currently occupied by more bodies and big personalities than ever before, and it was harder to clear the mechanism.
Keiji startled when Rick appeared beside his chair. He gasped as a possibility came to him. He met his gaze and gripped Rick’s hand. “Memex.”
Rick groaned. “Of course! Why didn’t I think of that?” He bent down and kissed Keiji. “You are a genius.”
“Want to share with the rest of the class, Rebooter? By the way, I just wanted to assure you that your temporary assignment has gone through. You officially work for me now,” King announced.
“Thank you, sir.”
“Wait, isn’t Memex that hypothetical World War II device? I vaguely remember learning something about it at The Farm.”
“Tate, I always wondered, why do you spooks call Camp Peary ‘The Farm’?”
He looked over at BB, “Because it’s like some huge amount of land in rural Virginia that the government has left mostly undeveloped.”
“Are there animals? Crops?”
“No, they just keep developing the next generation of super spies,” Linder said with a frown.
“Oh, is that jealousy I hear?” Tate teased.
“Please, your little farm has nothing on SRT training at Fort Moore.”
“I have to agree with Linder,” Rick said. “SRT is the most technical and highly trained unit assigned to the LEC and acts as the primary advisor for all things OEP.”
Keiji stood. “Yeah? Well seeing as how the VP is such a VIP, shouldn’t we keep the PC on the QT? ’Cause if it leaks to the VC he could end up MIA, and then we’d all be put on KP.”
“Did he just….”
“Yep.”

About the Author:
Trina is a scientist with a passion for history, music, and photography, she loves to travel and experience new places but is terminally shy around people she doesn’t know. When the zombie apocalypse occurs you’ll want to find her because she’s a crack shot, and promises to take out those nasty decomposing flesh eating vermin before they have a chance to make your their snack. Her favorite aunt gave Trina her first romance novel in middle school, and made her promise not to tell her mother. Her first romance novel was published in 2009, and her love for this genre has only increased. Her choices in reading and writing material are as diverse as her Apple Music library, which contains music from Mozart to Metallica. Her one concession is all stories must have a happily ever after ending—did we mention she’s incurably romantic? She’s the mother of a very strong willed and sweet little boy who frequently makes her smile and grimace within seconds of each other. She firmly believes that the sweetness comes from her and the other part is her husband’s fault. She loves to hear from readers and her greatest wish is that we all strive to achieve bigger dreams.
