“Only a percentage of those men and women are still living in this area,” Bobby said.

“A percentage of a billion is still a huge number,” Syd countered.

“There’s not a billion names on that list,” Luke told her.

She hefted the list. “It feels as if there is.”

“Most of Alpha Squad’s in there,” Bobby told her. “The squad came to Coronado for a training op, I remember, and ended up pulling extra duty as BUD/S instructors. There was this one class, where the dropout rate was close to zero. I think three guys rang out, total. It was the most amazing thing, but as they went into Hell Week, we were completely understaffed.”

“I remember that,” Luke said. “Most of us had done a rotation assisting the instructors, so we ended up shanghaied into helping take these guys through their paces.”

“Most of Alpha Squad,” Syd echoed, realizing just what that meant. Anyone female and connected to anyone on this list was a potential target for attack. She looked at Luke. “Have you called—”

“Already done,” he said, anticipating her question. “I’ve talked to all the guys’ wives except Ronnie Catalanotto, and I left a pretty detailed message on her machine and told her to call me on my cell phone ASAP.”

“You know, Lieutenant Lucky, sir,” Rio said, “one way to catch this guy might be to set Syd here up as bait, make it look like she’s your girlfriend and—”

“Uh-uh,” Luke said. “No way.”

Well, wasn’t he vehemently opposed to that?

“I’m not talking about sending her out into the bad part of San Felipe in the middle of the night,” Rio persisted. “In fact, she’ll be safer than she is right now, considering we’ll be watching her whenever she’s alone.”

“She lives on the third floor of a house in a neighborhood that’s more concrete and asphalt than landscaping,” Luke argued. “How are you going to watch her? Unless you’re hiding someplace in her apartment—”

“We can plant microphones,” Thomas suggested. “Set up a surveillance system, have a van down on the street.”

“We can bring the skel’s attention to you, too.” Rio was really excited about this. Syd could tell he’d watched too many episodes of “NYPD Blue.” Skel. Oh, brother. “You could go on TV, do an interview, insult him in some way. Claim that there’s no way in hell he could be a SEAL. Obviously he’s trying to make somebody believe he’s one—maybe he’s trying to make himself believe it. Throw some reality into his face. Tick him off, then appear in public with Syd, do some kissy-face stuff and—”

“No. This is crazy.”

Syd sat down at the conference table, trying to look unaffected and even slightly bored, as if she hadn’t just realized that she’d completely misinterpreted that almost-kiss that she and Luke hadn’t shared not quite five minutes ago. He’d spun her around, and she’d latched onto him. He hadn’t looked at her as if he wanted to kiss her. No, she’d probably been looking at him that way. And he’d stopped laughing because he felt awkward.
