Chapter 50

Geneva, Switzerland

VICTOR CHIDED HIMSELF for the incessant twitch in his leg. Less than five minutes had passed since he’d escaped the room. He sat in the backseat of the limo. It was parked outside the rear exit of the palace.

Hans leaned in the open rear door. “Strauss and the others are dead. The American is unconscious. But we have him.”

“And the chair?”

“It’s intact. The men are bringing it out now.”

Victor nodded. There was no question that the American had been able to link with the pyramids using the device. The death of the woman had turned the experiment on its end, but that didn’t mean something couldn’t be salvaged the next time around. They may have lost their leverage over the man, but there were other methods. Either way, he would leave neither the chair nor the American behind.

Hans said, “You must go, Mein Herr. The men and I will follow in a couple minutes.” He closed the car door.

As the limo drove away, Victor had to fight to hold his anger in check. The loss of Dr. Strauss and the men inside was regrettable. But the news he’d just received that the American’s friends had apparently survived the avalanche—and his suspicion that it was they who had raided his residence—was infuriating. It wasn’t a common emotion for Victor. Unforeseen events—and the extreme emotions they can sometimes spark—were a rare occurrence in his structured life. He allowed a part of his mind to embrace the rage. He clicked on his tablet, activated the front-facing camera, and examined his features. He saw the microtwitch at the corner of his right eye. It was his tell. His weakness. He despised it.

Then he glanced at the clock in the top corner of the display, and he realized that none of the things that had happened would have any impact on the trigger that was about to be activated.

In less than fifteen minutes, 90 percent of the people in attendance at the Palace of Nations would be dead.

The twitch in his eye vanished, and Victor watched the corners of his lips lift in a smile.
