Chapter 11

President Riley fumed. He listened over the phone, as a Secret Service agent reported that Trey had disappeared and had not been seen in days, ditto his entire family. “Thank you,” he said, keeping his rage over Dulling disobeying him contained. Damn it! I told him to keep a low profile for now and to leave Trey alone. The maniac even sanctioned Trey’s family. How did I ever go so wrong? Where was that first step into hell? Dulling! I confided in him about my mistress and the baby and the next thing I know he’s talking me into letting him have Mita murdered. Everything went downhill from there. “Keep me posted on any news.” After hanging up, he put his shaking hand to his forehead, his mind racing through a miasma of confusion. What to do? What to do? Dulling had to go. He was out of control. But how? Dulling knew everything and would surely talk if removed from his post atop the CIA. And who could he find to replace him? He needed someone who could be trusted. Oh God, what am I going to do?

Riley picked up the phone and punched in a number. He didn’t give Dulling a chance to say any more than hello. “James… get your ass here. Now!” He hung up. He always carries one of those CIA ceramic knives that slides into a slot in his belt. Okay, that’s good enough. But first I had better make damn sure he has it with him. He thought for a moment, his eyes flashing around the room as he formulated a plan. I hate to get my hands bloody, but I’m the only one I can trust to do this and not talk. He went to his desk and pulled a .38 Special revolver out of a drawer. After checking to be sure it was loaded, he slipped it in his right jacket pocket.

He nearly jumped when his cell phone rang. He saw it was Dulling. “Just get your ass over here now. I have nothing to say until you’re here.”

Dulling put on a show of calm. “I know what’s eating at you. He’s okay. He and his family have just skipped out. No one knows where.”

“I have nothing to say until you are here. Remember, you’re not on a secure line. You’re on the airwaves, for God’s sake!” He hung up. He didn’t believe Dulling for a second. Trey was dead and his family too. There was no way to hide his disappearance from the press. It just might be the last straw that costs him the presidency. The man was well known in the veterans’ organizations. They would be screaming for answers. Damn you Dulling! Now more people may start believing the rogue agents’ accusations.

Dulling stopped at the White House gate. The guard recognized him and pushed the button. The gate opened and Dulling drove to his usual parking space. At the White House security entrance, Dulling stood and waited for a Secret Service agent to wave him through the metal detector.
