She looked at the paper. There was a grainy photograph of their abandoned airplane, presumably with the dead pilot still inside, and another of what appeared to be wreckage. Terroristas! The headline was in screaming red.

She handed the paper back to him. “What’s happening?”

“We’re fine, if we play it cool. Someone bombed the ferry terminal in Bilbao. I expect they were looking for us, trying to slow us down. In the meantime, security is heightened all over the country, and they’re on the lookout for Basque separatists. Our nice nuclear family should have no problem—I’ve got our paperwork and tickets. Mahmoud there is a war orphan we’re taking to England for rehabilitation and an adoptive family. You and I are aide workers helping out.”

She took a breath. “The bombing at Bilbao couldn’t have anything to do with us. No one knew we were headed there.”

“No one but your office.”

“I told you, Peter’s trustworthy.”

“No one’s trustworthy.” Killian took her cup of tepid Earl Grey and drained it. “Madsen might not be the mole. Things just might not be as secure as you thought they were. Do you have anyone new in the office?”

“Just Taka’s cousin,” she said reluctantly. “I haven’t met him as yet, but Taka’s among the best we have. I have complete faith in anyone he’d recommend.”

“But you haven’t met the guy.”

“So you can’t be certain.”

“I’ll ask Peter—”

“You won’t ask anybody anything. We’re not going to have any problem getting on the ferry, and once we’re at sea no one’s going to bother us. In the meantime, why don’t you give me your PDA.”

“What PDA?”

“The one you’re keeping in your bra. Maybe someone else wouldn’t notice, but I happen to have a particular interest in your breasts. Give it to me.”

He sighed. “Don’t make me do this.”

“Do what?”

He moved so fast even she didn’t see it coming. He rose, hauling her out of her seat, into his arms, and his mouth came down on hers, the shock of it both elemental and shattering. He shoved his hand down her shirt, cupping her breast, his long fingers fishing the tiny PDA into his palm, as the crowded cafeteria erupted into spontaneous applause.
