Chase had turned on the television again, regretting it almost at once. Someone had put together an attention-getting story, leading off with shots of Mia’s bombed car, followed by the latest details of Nate Wilson’s murder. Then came a shot of the Carpenter Techtronics building and the news of Stan Forbush’s death. They closed the piece with a file head shot of Mia and a nasty recap of her history with the SAPD.

“That’s it,” Dan said. “Mia, you’re out of here. Now.” He turned to Faith. “Can I ask you for one more thing today?”

“Of course,” she smiled. “I’m more than happy to get Mia away from here. But leaving isn’t going to be that easy.”

“Even if we get out, they’ll follow me,” Mia said. “These people are like vultures.

You just have no idea what it’s like.”

Mark turned to Holcomb, who radioed down to the cops he had outside trying to keep the media and the public at bay.

“It’s just getting worse,” he told them when he clicked off the radio. “There’s more media and curiosity-seekers than we had when the mayor announced he was resigning.

They’re watching every vehicle that leaves here.”

“When do we get to leave?” Chase asked. “I’d really like to go home and have a drink. And I know Joy wants to get out of here. Badly.”

Tell me about it, Dan thought to himself.

“We all do,” was what he said instead. “But we need to do it in some kind of order.

Let’s wait until all the other floors are empty. Then we’ll send you out one at a time with a trail car to make sure no one’s on your tail. And just to be safe, don’t go straight home. Spend a few minutes on the 410 Loop. With all that traffic, if anyone’s behind you, you’ll lose them there.”

“They can’t follow us all,” Joy said. “Not unless they have an army out there. Do you think that’s possible?”

“Anything is possible,” Dan told her. “However, I’m just being cautious. They’ll be concentrating their efforts on Mia. She’s their hot button. What I’d like to know is who leaked all the details they’ve been putting out on the air? Especially about Stan’s death.” Holcomb made a face. “They can sniff out a stale bagel but face it. Their information could come from anywhere. They all have police scanners. Detective Aragon said a television van arrived at the airport this morning not five minutes after he did.” Rick and Mark looked at each other.

“This isn’t rocket science,” Rick said. “It was easier smuggling people out of Afghanistan.”

“I could just hunker down in the car again,” Mia suggested.

Mark shook his head. “Someone might recognize Faith’s car. Okay, here’s what we’ll do. Rick, you need wheels anyway. Is Grace Donnelly still supplying our vehicles?”

Dan nodded and a slow smile softened the grim look on his face. “I see where you’re going with this. I’ll get her on the phone.” He pulled out his cell and speed dialed a number.

While they waited,
