Agent Smith.

This is Dr. William May, I talked to you the other day.

Yes, Dr. May. Are you in trouble?

Yes. You still have agents watching us, right? We need them to take us in. Too much is going on.

Where are you right now, Doctor?

Bill didn't sense any kind of deception. But that could have been because he wanted a way out of this so badly.

We're in a cab, heading southbound on Foster.

Foster and what?

Bill squinted out the window.

Irving Park Road.

Okay, Doctor. I need you to park and wait there until I can contact my men. Can you do that? Bill instructed the cabbie to pull over. Theena shot him a panicked look.

Okay, I did it. Now what?

Some agents will approach the cab. They'll show you ID. You can go with them, they'll take you to a safe house. Do you understand?

Yes.

The line went dead. Bill patted Theena's thigh. It's okay. The good guys are coming. The cabbie swiveled around in his seat.

You want me to park here?

For a few minutes. Someone is coming to pick us up.

He put an arm around Theena and felt shivering. Bill wasn't sure if it was her or him. A few minutes passed.

Come on, Smith. Where are you?

Smith? Theena pulled away from Bill, her eyes wide. Gerald Smith?

Special Agent Smith is the Fed I talked to. I don't know his first name. Why?

I've overheard Albert on the phone before, talking to someone named Gerald Smith. I got the impression he was with the FBI.

Bill chewed his lower lip. To his right, a dark sedan with tinted windows approached the cab and slowed to a stop.

Bill, we have to get out of here!

The doors of the sedan opened, and two men in suits got out of the car.

Bill, please!

Fasil, get ready to move if I give you the signal.

I appreciate the money sir, but I am becoming frightened. Please get out of my cab.

One of the men tapped on the window. He was holding up a wallet, showing Bill his ID and badge.

Dr. May? We're the FBI. Step out of the vehicle.

Bill was torn apart with doubt. If Smith was a good guy, this whole thing would end here. The Feds would take them in, they'd tell their story, and hopefully it would be enough to put Rothchilde away.

But if Smith were in this with Rothchilde...

Bill, if we go with them, we'll die. Please.

Theena squeezed his arm, imploring. Bill decided he couldn't take the chance, tempting as it was.

Fasil please drive us away from here.

I do not want to get involved.

Please, Fasil. If we get out here, these men will kill us.

Then they may kill me as well. Get out of my cab.

Bill took off his watch, a high end Movado with a diamond at the twelve o'clock mark. He held it up to the glass.

It's worth over two grand. Just drive us away from here, and it's yours.

The FBI agent tried to open Bill's door. Theena screamed, and Bill pulled on the handle to keep it closed.
