TWELVE

Geneva, Switzerland, home of the famous Geneva Convention. This was the very place where the rules of war were hammered out, and bans were put on such things as assassination as a political tool.

The realities of life, however, especially in the political world, meant that such prohibitions didn’t often survive for very long. Many countries who were signatories of the Convention and its resulting rules had their own agencies that dealt with the elimination of people they considered incorrigibles. E & E was only one of them, but it happened to be the one that was most active since the end of the Cold War and the KGB death squads. It was even called upon by other nations at times, when a situation needed to be dealt with that the authorities there considered beyond the capability of their own agents.

Jenny looked out the window of her top floor suite at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Neil was sitting at the table nearby, working with his computer.

“So,” Jenny asked, “who’s the target here?”

“Hang on, I’m decrypting the file,” Neil said. “Give me just another second—okay, here we go. Your target is Lars Pendergrast, he’s the owner and operator of a limousine service here in the city. It turns out he’s been providing underage girls to men who come to the city just for that purpose.” He let out a low whistle. “And when I say underage, I mean as young as seven years old. According to the Swiss Intelligence Bureau, the bodies of more than two dozen girls, ranging in age from seven up to thirteen, have been found around the city in the last year alone. They know it’s Pendergrast who has been supplying them, but they can’t get any evidence to use against him. He always has someone set up to take the fall, but the intelligence people here think those folks are usually innocent. The police and the courts don’t bother trying to find out the truth, so a number of them have already gone to prison and two were killed while trying to resist arrest.” He looked up at her. “Apparently, protesting your innocence is considered resisting arrest here in Geneva.”

“In the city of peace,” Jenny said, shaking her head. “Corruption is everywhere, but this kind of corruption is the worst. Anybody who would do that to little girls…” She trailed off, but Neil nodded his agreement with the anger in her voice.

“Pendergrast deserves what he’s going to get,” Neil said. “Any idea how you want to handle it?”

“Just get me close to him,” Jenny said coldly. “Without witnesses if possible, but I won’t let them stop me. Be sure you have a backup plan to get me out if I get arrested.”

“I’ll get you out, even if it means you get burned in Switzerland. Team Cinderella’s not going to leave anybody behind, and especially not Cinderella herself.” He let his eyes drift off to focus in the distance for a moment and said, “Activate all. Can everybody
