Chapter Twelve

Virginia, USA – October 1973

Gorilla had control of the Mustang, hands on the wheel, foot on the accelerator. Beside him, Eunice slept. The flight home from the Canary Islands had taken it out of her and she had been about ready to crash when they landed at Washington Dulles International, so he had offered to take the wheel and drive them to Virginia.

He was having one of his 3 a.m. moments, when all his doubts about whether he was doing the right thing or which direction his life should go in, came and haunted him.

Eunice Brown fascinated him. It wasn't just that she was a strong, independent woman in a very male-dominated trade… it wasn't even that she ticked all the boxes for him physically, with her height, her red hair, slim figure and green eyes. It was more than that. He felt as if he were seeing a different aspect of her every day and, to a man like Gorilla with his straight-down-the-line attitude, he found it hard to get a handle on her different facades. She intrigued him.

He had seen Nikita; the hard-bitten professional bounty hunter. Then he had seen the cool interrogator of the South African hit man. He had seen the sophisticated and glamorous woman wearing designer dresses in Paraguay and Argentina. And here and now, he was seeing the relaxed girl from Virginia; asleep, skirt pulled up to her thighs and dusty old cowboy boots resting on the dashboard. To him, she was an enigma.

He had known women in the intelligence world – he had known women as friends, family and lovers – but he had never known one who transcended both of his worlds so easily. He loved the way she slurred and drawled her speech in the southern way; even though he wanted to correct her pronunciations every time, he held back because it was what made her who she was.

She was strong and feisty and independent. She could be both hard and gentle, and she was one of the best damned operators that he had ever had the pleasure to work with – or against!

But still, she was that enigma. That unqualified puzzle. The question was, could he trust her? Or was she just using him to get the target and fulfil her own contract?

Sometimes he hated this bloody business.
