The minute Cassie left Phyllis’s office, she phoned David, her brother-in-law with the FBI.

“Hey, Cass, how’s my favorite sister-in-law?”

“I’m your only sister-in-law, David.”

He laughed. “You’re still my favorite.”

“Flatterer.”

“What’s up?”

“I need a favor.”

“For you? Anything.”

“Run a background check on someone.”

“Cassie, you aren’t in any trouble, are you?” She could hear David rapping a pencil against something.

“Keyed up, Dave?”

“I’m always keyed up. It’s dead around here. But stop avoiding the question. Are you in trouble?”

“No. Not really.”

“Not really? I don’t like the sound of that.”

“Will you just do this for me and not ask a lot of questions, please?”

“Come on, don’t make me promise that. I ask questions. It’s my job.”

“I thought you said you would do anything for me.”

He sighed. “All right. Give me the details.”

“He’s an archaeologist named Harrison Standish. Someone in the Egyptian government just gave me bad news about him, and I want to know if it’s true.”

“What’s the deal?”

“This Egyptian official suspects Harrison of being a member of the Minoan Order. You ever heard of them?”

“Yeah, and they’re bad news.”

“So the Minoan Order really exists?”

“Unfortunately, yes. Honey, I’ve got just one piece of advice. Run, don’t walk, away from this guy. Why take the chance?”

“I can’t walk away.”

“Somehow I knew you were going to say that. You want to tell me why you need to know this?”

“I can’t talk about it. Not now.”

“All right,” he said. “I’ll look into it. In the meantime, if you get into any trouble, you call me. I’m a three-and-a-half-hour plane ride away.”

“Thanks, David. I really appreciate it.”

“No problem, kiddo.”

“Um, there’s just one other thing.”

“What’s that?”

“Please don’t tell Maddie. She’ll just think this is Duane Armstrong all over again.”
