Executive Power 15-16

Mitch Rapp has been in a sticky situation revolving the Corrupt General Moro from the Philipinnes. Moro has been doing nothing to rescue the American family taken hostage by Muslim terrorists. After the meeting with President Hayes, Director Kennedy, and General Flood, Mitch was not a happy camper. He left the meeting with a failed a personal objective, to personally travel to the Philippines and save the American hostages. As he left, Director Kennedy persuaded President Hayes into letting Rapp try rescue this family.
At the beginning of chapter 16, we see Rapp in the CIA's private Jet on his way to the old Clark base nar the Philipine border. As Mitch exits the plane he walks up to a black Lincoln in the shadows behind and abandoned hanger. Mitch climbs in and hands files to Lieutenet General Rizal, an American ally and close friend to General Flood. After minutes of silence as Rizal reads the info he starts to understand the secrets that Moro has been holding from him and the rest of his country. Rizal describes the situation that would happen if all of the pre-determined plans were to unravle. They would capture Moro bring him to trial and hopefully have him be sent to death but this would enrage his enemies and seperate the country. Asking for another way is exactly what rzal was saying, he knew that as the terrorist found out their provider had been captured, they would kill the family.
"You can choose to go that route or we can try something else."
"Im listening."
Rapp hesitated only briefly. "I want his head."
