She held her audience rapt in her point of view. No one fidgeted, no one rustled papers, and no one looked at their watches. David felt inexplicably proud of the way she held herself on stage, how she kept their attention, and how she spoke with such passion. He looked around. He felt smug that he was almost certain that he was the only one present who had experienced all of her passion. Jesus. Even thinking about her gave him a semi.

His phone vibrated in his pants, and he got up carefully and made his way to the door so as not to disturb anyone. Once the door was closed behind him, he answered it.

“Church.”

“David. How are things going there?” It was Baston, the owner of his company, and his boss.

“About as well as you would imagine,” he answered, not wanting to give anything away to the few people lingering in the lobby.

“I hear there’s been an arrest warrant issued by the Greek police. For your friend.” He said it almost casually, like he was telling them she’d been invited to a clambake.

“I did not know that. How long ago?” His heartbeat kicked up.

“An hour or so. I think the Greeks are under a lot of pressure from the Russians right now. Regardless, Church, this isn’t your fight. I’ve seen the footage, and it looks like she was into something.”

No kidding. David replayed the scene in his head. Molly trying to slip Doubrov some kind of note.

“You’ve seen the footage?” David winced. That meant he would have seen David go for Molly instead of his principal.

“Just come back immediately. I need you in the office tomorrow morning. You’re being reassigned. You have no backup there. Mal’s already deployed elsewhere. You haven’t officially gotten into any trouble yet, but associating with someone wanted for questioning in relation to an assassination, well that might just be pushing the limit. You get me?”

“I get you, sir. I have plans to be at the airport in a matter of hours.” He omitted that he was going with Molly, but at least that gave Baston plausible deniability.

“Good. See you in the morning.” He hung up.

David looked at his phone. He’d basically agreed to leave Molly. He glanced back at the door to the auditorium and heard people laugh. She must be rocking her speech.

This was the right thing to do. Put her on a plane out of Greece, away from her arrest warrants, and say goodbye. It was the best for her, and the best for him. He still needed to get himself on firmer ground. But right now he had to get her away from the hotel before the police came. Christ, couldn’t they have a minute without having to run and hide from someone?

He slipped back into the auditorium, in time to see Victoria enter from the opposite side. They met each other’s eyes, nodding acknowledgment. She took a seat at the back, and David took his original seat.

Molly was showing a slide of a woman depicted in a mosaic, as David planned their escape.
