I stared into my coffee without really seeing it. I had gotten virtually no sleep the night before, so I was exhausted; still, my mind was racing. I couldn’t figure out what had triggered Manuel Brown to kidnap Cassie. I’d run through every detail, finally coming to the conclusion that Manuel Brown didn’t need a logical reason to do anything.

But that wasn’t it. Manuel Brown was a lunatic, but he was a controlled one. He was well-protected, and he hadn’t gotten to where he was in his life by taking stupid risks, like kidnapping someone who was being tailed by one of my men and talked to by the police.

But, if not Manuel Brown, then who?

To make matters more complicated, I still hadn’t heard from Simon. He had been, technically, missing for as long as Cassie. Perhaps even longer. Perhaps whoever had kidnapped Cassie had taken care of Simon first in order to get at her.

I paced around the restaurant, which had been closed and overtaken by the NCA. All around me were the sounds of what I hoped was progress. Walkie talkies going off, fingers clacking on keyboards, agents on cell phones taking notes.

I swallowed hard, resisting the urge for the millionth time to go running over to Patrick and tell him that I knew who had Cassie. I had a name. I had some possible locations for Manuel Brown. But, I knew that, though I would gain Cassie back in the short term, all I would be doing was exposing the entire project and labeling myself as a rat to Manuel Brown. That would mean death for everyone involved—Antoine, Simon, Cassie, and me. No, I had to wait for the NCA to put everything together on their own… then at least I could speak the truth when it came time to face Manuel Brown and his men.

“Morning,” Patrick said grimly, sidling up next to me with his own coffee.

“Morning,” I said. “No news?”

“Nothing concrete. Not yet.” He was about to open his mouth to say something else, when a young agent, a woman in her early twenties, came running over with a piece of paper.

“Agent Shim! We got a lead. Here!” She held out the paper and Patrick grabbed it from her hand, skimmed it quickly, then nodded.

“Good work, Tessler.” Then, to me, “Let’s go. I’ll explain on the way.”

My heart pounded loudly in my chest as I realized progress was both good and scary; getting Cassie back could mean even more danger down the line. We raced out to Patrick’s rental car and drove out of the parking lot.

“Apparently, Cassie may have been the victim of mistaken identity,” Patrick said. “There’s a local cell of infidels who are engaging in terroristic activity. They’re looking for arms, big time, and they seem to think that Cassie may be connected to an arms dealer.” He glanced over at me. “You don’t know anything about that, do you?”

I was silent, my mind still focused on the words ‘local cell of infidels.
