Chapter 16

“Why are we taking the Reno International Airport exit?” Kat asked, a note of strain in her voice. “What’s going on?” Her fingers had curved into claws as she dug into the seat. “Jake? You said we were going by car.”

“Yes, but no one is going to notice a car amid hundreds. An airport is good cover.”

“Oh,” Kat said, visibly relaxing. “For a second I was worried.”

Jake nodded, ignoring that ever-present wrench in his gut each time he lied to Kat. He told himself his subterfuge was a necessary evil in order to keep her safe. With an unknown assailant on their tail, there was no way they could safely make the trek by car to D.C.

“I didn’t used to be scared of flying until my parents died,” Kat explained while she watched the planes soar overhead as they took off and landed. Jake navigated the terminal, going to a private plane area where he knew his replacement would be waiting. “But you see, my parents didn’t actually die skydiving. They never got the opportunity to jump from the plane. An engine blew on the tiny plane they were using and they plummeted to the ground. It was determined to be a freak accident. I know they say that flying is safer than driving but having lost my parents to a plane crash, I don’t believe it. My fear is probably a bit irrational but...” She stopped when the car pulled into a hangar and she saw a sleek black vehicle and a sharp private plane waiting. She turned to Jake, her eyes wide. “Jake?”

“Come on,” he instructed, and climbed from the car. She had no choice but to follow. He walked briskly to an impeccably dressed woman with exotic features who made Kat feel like a nondescript twig on a tree with a million branches. Kat wanted to cling to Jake but knew to do that would be to reveal their intimacy level—something Jake would disapprove of—and so she stood rigidly straight by herself as Jake and the woman talked. Maybe this wasn’t what it seemed. Maybe the woman came by plane and the car was awaiting them. It was possible. Jake gestured for Kat to come closer. “Dr. Katherine Odgers, this is agent Camille Stephens. She will be your contact from this point forward.”

“What?” Kat looked wildly to Jake for an explanation but he wasn’t looking at her any longer. In fact, he seemed as if he were loath to look at her at all. Tears stung her eyes. “You promised me you were going with me.”

“Plans change. It was out of my control.”

“I don’t believe you. I think you knew all along, which is why you’ve been acting so weird.”

He didn’t get the chance to refute her accusation. The woman, Camille Stephens, stepped forward and introduced herself with a cold, efficient smile. “I’m Agent Stephens. I will be seeing to your safety for the second half of this mission.”

She wanted to refuse but seeing
