Present Day
Quantico, Virginia
The minutes keep ticking. I know, I’ve counted all one
hundred and twenty of them.
They’re trying to rattle me with one of their basic
ploys: always keep your opponent off guard. It’s law
enforcement’s initial interrogation tactic.
Well, technically, the first tactic is to establish a rapport
and roll out the “kill ’em with kindness” act. However, since
federal agents had me in cuffs as soon as my plane landed,
I’m pretty sure they skipped it and went straight for
psychological manipulation.
Their white-washed concept of torture is to keep me
locked in an office for two hours. I want to laugh, but it isn’t
even worth the effort. Two hours is nothing. I’m fully
clothed, and I’m wearing shoes. My hands aren’t bound to
this chair, and I can see the sky right outside the window
overlooking Quantico.
Yeah, they can wipe their asses with their two hours.
The door behind me opens then slams, but I don’t flinch.
Keeping my eyes forward, I ignore the intrusion until FBI
Section Chief Dunning stomps around the oversized desk in a
storm of heated fury and arrogance.
Throwing a stack of files on his desk, he takes his seat
and glares at me. “I don’t suppose you understand what kind
of shit you’re in.”
“And all this time, I thought I was the victim. Thanks for
clearing that up.” Folding my hands, I interlace my fingers
and sit back. My eyes wander, landing on an American flag
encased in glass hanging on the wall behind his head. The
way it’s situated, he looks like he’s wearing it as a crown.
Like the prince of freedom.
The irony isn’t lost on me, and as nauseating as the red
and white stripes are, at least they give me something to
focus on other than the arrogant smirk tugging at the corner
of his mouth.
He slams his palms against his desk and cocks his chin,
the dark skin pulled tight across his jaw. I know his game
right away. Intimidation. He wants me to break first. Good in
theory, but if he’s been debriefed on anything that’s
happened in the last week, he should know better.
I have nothing left to break. A conscience can’t fracture if
it doesn’t exist, and if you bargain with the devil, sometimes
you pay with your soul.
With his tactics failing, Dunning’s demeanor changes,
and he digs his nails into the wood. “You’re part of a Russian
crime syndicate.”
I don’t hear a question in there, so I hold his stare while
brushing my thumb over his nameplate. “Well, that may be
true, Carl, but I also took out one of this country’s most
prolific assassins who, I might add, your agency has failed to
identify, much less apprehend. Shouldn’t that count for
something?”
