CHAPTER 36

DMITRY SPUN THE speedboat around.

He pulled up alongside the yacht.

“Get out,” he told me.

Gleb and Inna led me back to Boris’s cabin.

I sat down in the same chair.

“Leave us,” Boris told Gleb and Inna.

When they had gone Boris held up the file.

“I read your service record again. Very impressive. You are very good at what you do.”

“Used to do. I’m retired now.”

“You caught an amazing number of fugitives. Hunted them down and brought them in.”

I shrugged.

“That was the job. I just did what I was supposed to do.”

“And you did that better than anybody else.”

“What’s your point?”

“I want you to do it for me.”

“Meaning what exactly?”

“I want you to find somebody for me. Find him and bring him back here to me.”

“Who?”

“A disloyal employee.”

“Don’t you have people who can do that for you?”

“They have tried.”

“They couldn’t find him?”

“No.”

“So you want me to do it.”

“Yes.”

We sat.

Seconds passed.

“What’s in it for me?”

“I will free Kelly if you bring him back to me.”

“How do I know you’ll keep your word?”

“Would you like it in writing?”

A rhetorical question.

We both knew the answer.

He folded his hands on the desk and leaned forward.

“Have we got a deal?”

I nodded.

He reached into his pocket and took out a flash drive. He set it on the desk. He slid it toward me.

“This contains information about the man you will find for me.”

I stood up from my chair and picked up the flash drive and pocketed it.

“No police involvement, Mr. Lane. Otherwise Kelly will die. Are we clear on that?”

“Crystal.”

“Good.”

“Before I do anything I need proof of life. I want to see Kelly.”

“Fair enough.”
