Valens stopped outside Alberta's office and straightened his uniform. He stopped himself before his hand could creep up to adjust his tie. Alberta—he thought, and resisted the urge, as well, to shake his head. Dammit. I hope Casey's wrong.

He rapped twice and opened the door. “Busy?”

Holmes shoved away a half-eaten doughnut on a paper napkin. “Did you bring coffee?”

He stepped inside and shut the door. “No. I just got a message from the prime minister's people.”

“You did? Really?”

He permitted himself a curt shrug. “I think it's an attempt to end run. They want an interview with Casey. Friday, at a location they don't plan to disclose until Casey's in the car.”

Alberta sucked her lower lip into her mouth and gnawed it contemplatively. “Put a tracer on her, Fred. Just in case?”

“Just—?”

“We wouldn't want your star pupil going missing between here and there, would we?”

Forgive me, Jenny. Valens took a deep, calm breath and nodded. I hope you're still as good at taking care of yourself as you used to be. Because I just set you up as the bait in a bear trap, and you don't even know it.
