Cora marched up the small trail through the woods, glancing eerily from
side to side, searching the trees for any hidden threats.
Normally, she wouldn’t take meetings away from familiar territory. But
now that she was back in West Virginia, her old childhood stomping grounds,
she felt familiar enough with most terrain. Plus, Gabriel Finch had sounded
urgent on the phone.
She grumbled a bit, kicking a pinecone off the path and wondering why
the hell her parents had given her number to her sister’s old ex in the first
place.
The motion caused her to stop, wincing. She reached up, massaged her
bandaged shoulder, then glanced down at the white gauze wrapped around
her arm. The doctor said that it was healing nicely enough.
She had been forced to cycle through two general practitioners until she
found someone who didn’t keep prying about the source of the gunshot
wounds.
Suffice it to say, her last month—a series of bad choices that led her to be
fired from the FBI—had left Cora with new career prospects that perhaps she
hadn’t anticipated.
But one thing was certain. She was damn good at this new job. If it could
be called a job.
She liked to think of herself more as a fixer. A professional problem
solver. Especially in gray areas, where corruption, slow moving
bureaucracies, and politics prevented actual execution.
Cora settled, inhaled slowly, and glanced through the trees in the
direction of the small wooden shed she had spotted earlier.
This was where Gabe wanted to meet.
A good enough location—surrounded by tall oak trees and a couple of
pines thrown in, as if the forest itself couldn’t quite settle.
She glanced at her phone. No missed calls. She sighed in frustration. She
had been trying to get back in contact with Agent Saul Brady. But the last
time she had seen her ex-partner, she had thrown him over a boat into the
ocean. She had done it for his protection, but judging by the radio silence, he
hadn’t seen things the same way. She had even grown concerned that he had
been hurt. But a couple of old colleagues at the FBI, after some pestering by
email, had confirmed that Saul had returned to work yesterday, in good
spirits and good health.
And yet, he still wasn’t returning her calls.
She muttered darkly, shaking her head as she moved quickly up the path
towards the shed. She knocked on the wooden door. Her knuckles scraped
against rough grain.
Instantly, a voice called out, “Come in!”
She didn’t. Instead, she glanced around the door jamb and through the
window, looking for any traps.
