CHAPTER 34

December 9, 9:12 a.m.

Swiftshadow safe house, Washington DC

Blue sky peeked through the living room window twenty feet away. It was a stark contrast to the new white snow reflecting light off the ground eight floors below. The CypherGhost sat alone at the kitchen table, her eyes unfocused.

Keeping it to herself, the CypherGhost concentrated an the current version of her plan. “What if’s” crashed through her imagination for nearly an hour. So many things could go wrong, and at least some would. It was impossible for her to guess which parts of the plan might not work. She now understood how Jon Sommers’ mind worked, and wondered how he’d learned to plan operations.

Ann had told her the Swiftshadow Group’s primary planner was Sommers. When the CypherGhost was finished with a solid draft of her plan, she decided to take it to him to see if it had any really fatal flaws. She sipped coffee while she worked. She’d left Ann alone in bed, snoring. As far as Ann was concerned, the CypherGhost was satisfied that she had managed to make Ann believe they were friends. Now, with Ann’s trust, she could complete the tasks she had set for herself without worry of discovery.

She heard muted noise coming from Jon’s bedroom. Finally, done now fucking that Lily beast. When Sommers gets his ass out here, I can run through the plan with him.

She heard Ann’s bare feet padding against the apartment’s floor. Their bedroom door sprang open, and Ann poked her head out. Ann smiled, rubbing her eyes as she padded into the kitchen and poured herself a cup of coffee. The CypherGhost smiled back at her. “Morning, sweetie.”

“When did you leave the bed?”

“About 6:30. I’ve completed a draft of the plan. It’s ready for us to review.”

“You should have Sommers vet it.”

The comment felt like an insult. It stung. “Why? I’m smart. Isn’t that enough?”

Ann shrugged. “Don’t think so. Jon has field experience vetting and improving operating plans that he and others devised. Besides, another set of eyes is always helpful.”

The CypherGhost let the sting settle in. Remember this when the time comes.

They waited nearly twenty minutes before Jon opened his bedroom door wearing a bathrobe, stretched and yawned on his way to the kitchen. After he poured himself a cup of coffee, he noticed the two young women watching him from the kitchen table. “What?”

Ann rose and said, “You’re late getting up. Let me know when you’re really awake. We need your help.”

Jon sipped the coffee as he sat at the table with them. He remained silent, seeming to savor the flavor. After a few seconds, he nodded. “Okay, then. What can I do for you this cold, sunny morning?”

The CypherGhost pushed her notebook computer across the table. “Please review this.”

Jon stared at the screen. To the CypherGhost, Jon was totally still. He seemed to be hypnotized by the plan. About ten minutes passed. A few times, his fingers slapped the arrow keys so he could focus on different aspects of the plan.
