“THIS IS twice you’ve failed.”

He laughed at the rebuke. “I think you have me confused with someone else. I had nothing to do with the fiasco in Mexico. That was the other guy.”

Ignoring the pointed correction, his displeased employer continued, “In less than twenty-four hours he will be back at the White House. That was not supposed to happen. And yet, because of incompetence it surely will. Our chances of controlling her actions are limited with him there, especially if he talks.”

Fury flared, but he tamped it down. He refused to waste the effort. He settled an indifferent gaze on the man who held the other half of his payment ransom and who definitely needed to get his facts straight. “I trust you’ll adjust your schedule. The job will be completed. I’m on it now. He’s not going to talk.”

The heat of anger rushed up the other man’s face, turning it bloodred. He smiled, knowing that it did not matter how angry his employer grew, there was nothing he could do. He was the only man who could get close enough to get the needed information. And he would ensure the job was done, but he wanted to watch the puppets squirm a bit longer first. His impatient employer didn’t have to know that part.

“Every moment Justin is alive is another one in which he might impart what he learned. If that happens—”

“That won’t happen.” He smiled, loving the confusion on the part of the man who was supposed to be in charge, loving knowing something the boss didn’t.

“How can you be certain?” he demanded, his face twisting with the rage he could no longer contain.

“Because he’s an impostor.”

Shock claimed the crimson face staring at him. “What do you mean? That’s impossible. And even if you suspected such a thing, you couldn’t be certain.”

His smile broadened. “Oh, I’m certain all right. I’m absolutely certain.”

His employer stood. “I’m not sure I believe your little theory. Time is wasting. That funding approval has to go through…if it doesn’t we all lose. Three days. We have three days before this goes to the next level.”

“Maybe you’d better be asking your other partner in crime how this happened. I’ve got a feeling he knows how it came about,” he warned. “My source says someone headed off his attempt to separate the two of them in Mexico City. Any idea who would have that kind of foresight? Who knew we were going to strike?”

Judging by the evolving expression on his employer’s face, he’d finally made his point.

“Think about it,” he went on. “Who has the resources to put a look-alike in place? To head off your plans? And if it’s who I think it is, why didn’t your partner warn you?”

The other man’s gaze narrowed. “O’Riley.” He smiled then. “I should have known.”
