The Search for Gregory Skaggs

The story begins in Thailand with Gregory's protection team being ambushed resulting in Gregory being kidnapped. Halfway around the world in Tyler, Texas, a retired State Department employee is assembling a team that deals with international hostages and kidnappings. The business is created by Casey Carter and led by his daughter Amanda to do what the U.S. government will not do outside its borders. The team members include Amanda's brother Cade, Navy Corpsman David, IT specialist Samantha, CIA analyst Alex, hostage negotiator Rafael, and combat veteran Malcolm. They train on Casey's land called the Ranch. The team is hired by Michelle Skaggs, the wife of Gregory, on the recommendation of Robert, the one surviving protection agent, and William, Gregory's best friend and business associate. The caveat is that Robert had to become part of the team for the search for Gregory. As the team travels all over the world searching for clues on the whereabouts of Gregory Skaggs, you will feel as though you are part of the team. The struggle of being within hours of solving the mystery and rescuing Gregory is met with emotional lows and the feeling of failure. The rescue team seems to always be one step behind and consistently being watched.
