“I saw the news. Am I right to presume that that was him?”

“You are, Julian,” Phillip Greer replied, leaning back in his office chair, his office phone cupped against his ear. The coroner’s photos of Dmitri Pavlovich Litvinov spread out before him on his desk. “They got to him, somehow.”

“I’m sorry.” From most men, the sympathy would have struck Greer as meaningless, but Julian Marsh knew the realities of this world as few others. He knew, keenly, how this felt.

“How did things go with Patrick?” Greer knew the answer before he even asked it—knowing that if Marsh had been successful, the call would have come much earlier. Last night, even.

“About as well as you might expect.” There was a long, awkward pause. “I was the wrong messenger, Phillip. Too much bad blood there, all through the years.”

“You were the only messenger,” the old counter-intel spook replied. He had known it was a lost cause from the beginning. . .there was no convincing someone of Ashworth’s background that history had made its inevitable return. That the world order was nowhere near as stable as he believed. “Let me guess. . .he compared me to Peter Wright?”

“You know him well. I wish I could have done more.”

“There’s little else that anyone could do, Julian.” Except for what we’ve uncovered on MacCallum’s analyst, Greer thought, but he wasn’t about to discuss that over an open line. The dangers, after last night, all too clear. “I appreciate your call.”

He hung up, waiting a second before ringing his secretary. “Rhona, has Mr. Norris arrived for work yet?”

“No, sir—I just checked with Security five minutes ago. He hasn’t entered the building.”

Strange. Had he been warned—had something happened to scare him away? Or was this simply moving forward. . .already. The thought chilled Greer to the bone, and he almost missed his secretary’s next words.

“. . .just received a call from the acting DG a moment ago, sir. He wants you to meet with him in his office at three o’clock.”
