TOM Reyes was driving at breakneck speed, with Franklin Lincoln in the passenger seat. Lincoln stared at the cab dispatch records, then out the windshield once again. “There were three cabs dispatched to the ferry dock, numbers twelve, one twenty-one, and forty-two.”

“I’ve been listening to the scanner,” Reyes said. “Forty-two has already dropped its fare at the Hotel Lisboa, and number twelve is heading along the New Road. He must be on number one twenty-one. He called the dispatcher to report that he was inbound to the Hyatt Regency on Taipa, then he was supposed to wait for his fare and take him onward.”

Reyes steered onto the bridge leading to Taipa. “Call Hanley and explain the situation.”

Lincoln turned on his radio and reported to the control room.

“Give me a minute or so,” Hanley said.

“Access the Hyatt computer and search for this name,” he said, handing Eric Stone, an operator, the sheet of paper, “and get me a room.”

Stone’s hands danced over the keyboard; a second later he turned to Hanley.

“What timing,” Stone said. “He’s just now checking in.”

Stone waited until the data filled the screen. “Room twenty-two fourteen,” he said.

“Hyatt Regency, room twenty-two fourteen,” Hanley said to Lincoln, “and grab him fast—if he asked the cab to wait, he’s headed for the airport soon.”

“Got it,” Lincoln said. “Then what?”

“Bring him here.”

Reyes steered up the driveway to the Hyatt Regency.

“Room number twenty-two fourteen,” Lincoln said. “We grab him and bring him to the Oregon.”

Reyes stopped the car and slid it into Park. “You got any money?”

“Sure, what for?” Lincoln asked.

“There’s the cab,” Reyes said, pointing. “Pay him off and tell him to leave. Then meet me on the twenty-second floor.”
