Seattle, Washington. Saturday 2.23p.m.

“Ready?”

The FBI director looked over, blank-faced from his study of the computer monitor at Mark’s desk.

“We’re all set.”

The director stood. He smoothed down his tie and lifted his suit jacket from the hook, shrugging it on. Mark led him to the interrogation room where the suspect had been brought up from Portland for questioning.

He didn’t like the fact Victoria hadn’t been released, and he’d had to leave. She was due to be checked out of the hospital later today, and Niall had strict orders to bring her up to Seattle to his house when she got out.

Mark had figured making it sound like a direct order increased the chance they would all do what he said. It was worth a try, at least.

They stepped into the viewing room. Through the glass, two men were settling into chairs across from their suspect. One was Mason, Talia’s fiancé and the head of the Secret Service in Seattle. The other was the US attorney.

“Mr. Bakemeister, I’m Assistant Director Mason Anderson with the Secret Service. This is William Zane, he’s the US attorney who will ultimately decide what charges are brought against you.”

Trevor Bakemeister. That was his name? Mark studied the man they’d found in the art gallery, heading for the safe that had held nothing. He looked considerably more worn than he had last night. Pale-faced, dark circles under his eyes. His arm was now in a sling, taking the weight off the gunshot wound in his arm. Tiny strips of white held the edges of the gash on his temple together.

He looked like Mark honestly felt, even with the few hours of sleep he’d managed to snatch up before coming here.

“FBI?”

Mark shook his head at the director’s question. “The first one we’ve brought in who is connected to Langdon, but not an agent.”

He made a “huh” sound but went quiet as Mason began the interrogation. Considering all the FBI had gone through recently, they figured it was better to outsource this. They were chasing one of their own. Making it an interagency investigation was better for PR. They weren’t afraid of what shook loose in the course of things. They wanted transparency.

Trevor shrugged. “Whatcha want from me?”

“The issue here,” Mason said, “is what you want. To spend your whole life in federal prison for all kinds of conspiracy to commit “this” and attempted “that”? Or the alternative.”

Mark almost smiled. Mason wasn’t the kind of federal agent who investigated criminal activity. Mark had brushed him up on a few things, as had the US attorney. Mark wasn’t worried that he wouldn’t be able to pull this off. It wasn’t his fault he was only a Secret Service agent.

The US attorney, William Zane, opened a file on the table. He slid a photo across the surface so Trevor could look at it. “This is Colin Pinton. You might know him as Oscar Langdon. He’s someone we’re very interested in finding.”

“You think I know him?” Trevor shrugged.

“This man blew up a hallway you were standing in,” Mason pointed out.
