No, damn it. But he does have a man of his own with the same abilities. He s
supposed to be able to intercept mental messages.
And has he?
Unfortunately that asshole Halloran s obviously figured it out and is forcing
himself not to think of her by name. Damn it, he repeated. We could all be looking at
spending the future in prison if this falls apart.
Maybe it s time to cash in our chips, take what we ve got and all retire.
Oh, the man barked, wouldn t that look sweet? A senator and a high-ranking
member of the government suddenly saying bye-bye. Get serious, will you? We have to
get rid of that woman. I ve passed on all this information to those two idiots we hired.
They d better deliver for us.
We also need to find Joey Latrobe, Winslow reminded him. Your resources are
far more extensive than mine.

I m on it.
Well, you d better hope we find him. And that your men get rid of the Wilding
woman. I don t think either one of us is ready to have our lives turned upside if neither
of those things happen.
Winslow slammed the phone down and poured himself a drink. He was afraid the
sound echoing in his head was his world cracking around him.

I don t know who the man is, Green said into the telephone, but if he s gone
here s your chance. Ring her doorbell. Tell her whatever you have to in order to get her
to let you in. Then get it done.
He snapped his cell phone shut and wiped his forehead with a white linen
handkerchief. He and Brown were facing each other in one of the hotel rooms they d
rented, an air of apprehension hanging over them.
He ll screw it up, Brown said at last.
No. He won t. He s one of the best.
Brown shook his head. We need better than the best for this. We can t afford
another screwup.
There won t be one.
As he spoke the phone in his hand rang.
Is it done yet? the voice on the other end asked.
Green automatically reached in his pocket for a Tums. By the time they were
through with this, his digestive tract would be completely shot, he figured.
As good as.
Unsatisfactory, the voice bit off. We re under the hammer here and she s a loose
cannon. Get rid of her now. The dead air indicated he d killed the connection.
Was it him? Brown asked.
Who else. He looked at his watch. We should be getting a call any minute now.

Mark had long ago learned to let his mind take him out of his body. Otherwise he
never would have been able to tolerate the abuse his body was often forced to take. This
time especially it helped him to survive. He didn t think they could find any new ways
to torture him but El Serpiente s mind was as twisted as the reptile he was named for.
Surely hell would be a respite.
But he didn t break. They could kill him but they d never get a thing out of him.
Two people were depending on him the source and Tidbit.

In disgust they d finally tossed him back into the tent, sending him sprawling on
the filthy ground. They no longer even bothered to chain him up. His condition had
deteriorated so badly there was no chance he d get away.
At least so they thought.
As long as I can breathe I can figure out how to escape. But I sure hope Tidbit s getting
through to someone.
He felt himself drifting into semi-consciousness when he heard the Wolf and
Escobedo outside his tent. He roused himself and strained to hear what they were
saying.
I have to leave. The Wolf s voice was sharp, tinged with anger. I have business
to conduct and I ve spent far too much time here already.
You don t say. Escobedo s own antagonism was evident. For the amount of
money you take home from us, a few days is the least you can give us. Especially in a
situation such as this.
Don t pressure me, Ramon. It s true you are an excellent customer but I have
others I must attend to also. And you don t seem to be getting anywhere with this man,
no matter what tortures you apply to him.
Escobedo spat on the ground. That pig. He is close to breaking. Another few hours
and he ll be mine.
Your pet mental giant, Felix, hasn t gotten anywhere, either.
At that moment Mark heard the distinctive ring of a satellite phone and the Wolf
answering it.
You found her and you lost her? What asinine nonsense is this? A pause. You
can t get rid of one stupid woman? Is everyone there incompetent? Another pause.
Go into her house and drag her out, if you have to. And do not let her anywhere near
anyone who can give credence to whatever she might say.
News? Escobedo asked.
More than you ve given me. They have identified the woman Halloran is probably
sending messages to. They have her in their sights. She ll soon be history.
Mark felt panic claw at him.
Oh, God. Faith, please be safe. Use that wonderful brain of yours.
But then we have to make sure she hasn t already contacted anyone. And there is
the matter of who leaked the word of our meeting to begin with. That s a hole we
definitely have to plug.
When are you leaving?
