I was sitting at a booth by a window overlooking BoneFish Bay by a quarter to eight the next morning. Carter walked in just a minute or two after I had arrived. He spotted me at once, smiled and walked over.

“Great minds think alike, eh?”

“It’s scary.”

“Have you ever considered working for the FBI?”

“Not till last night.”

“I see. Well, you’ve obviously got a very sharp mind. You must have for Stafford to take you so much into his confidence.”

“How do you mean?”

“As I told you, we are aware of the intimate nature of your relationship with him. I mean, in the bedroom. And you are nanny to his baby.”

“You are not American, are you? Not by birth?”

“Is it the accent?”

“Mainly the accent, yes. But also the way you speak. The construction of the sentences. You’re first language is Spanish or Portuguese.”

“Spanish. I’m of Peruvian descent. But I am American. I was born in San Jose, California. My mother was born in Peru. My name is American because of my father. He worked for the U.S. Embassy in Lima and married a native girl—my mother.”

“Your English excellent and I only barely hear an accent.”

“I spent some years growing up in Peru. Back to what I was getting to—you are excellent at the diversion.”

“Thank you. I try.”

Though it’s easy to find much that’s contemptible about the man he is charming in his way. One might say he’s an acquired taste.

He continued, “We have reason to believe he’s having you take on extra duties.”

“What makes you say that?”

“I’m not presently at liberty to say.”

“Uh huh. National security, is it?”

“Something like that. There’s something else too.”

“What?”

“The FBI, we always come in twos. You haven’t met my partner. He’s waiting in the car. I’d like your permission to allow him to sit in on our conversations. It just adds accountability. Something for the Bureau really. Mostly just a habit.”

He seemed nervous about the mention of his partner. Of course I’d watched enough movies to know they always traveled in twos.

“So why didn’t you bring him in from the start?”

“We thought it’d be easier to approach you if it was just one of us.”

“Thought I’d more likely say yes to one than two. I admit it’s intelligent of you.”

“I’ll bring him in, shall I?”

“No. Make him wait in the car.”

I said this mostly to retain a measure of control in the situation. I felt a little out of my depth to begin with. I didn’t want to feel more intimidated facing two of them this early on instead of one.

“Sure. Any reason why specifically?”

“Because I told you to. I’m already doing you a favor. If we warm up more in the future perhaps then you can bring him in. I’m still not entirely comfortable given the situation.”

“Understood. It may present some problems in the future—with Bureau protocol and all—but this is an unusual case that may give cause for unusual procedures.”

“Good.” I paused, sizing him up. “You must be top of your field given a case like this.
