“You are not going to believe what I found,” Geneva said the next afternoon.

Felicity shifted the phone receiver from one ear to the other, so she could take notes. She and Jace had all but taken over the Brothers In Arms offices, since the business was temporarily shut down. “Go ahead and tell me. Nothing about this guy surprises me anymore.”

“Well, I didn’t find out much about Kevin Quinn specifically, but I did find out who his biggest funder is. Kim Rigsdale.”

“Again, no surprise there.” She waved Jace over to her temporary digs at Vann’s desk and scribbled Kim’s name on her legal pad. “Hang on, I’m going to put you on speaker phone so Jace can hear too, okay?”

“Yep,” Geneva said.

Jace checked out the windows and double-checked the lock on the door before walking over to stand behind Felicity. His body heat reminded her of their night in the hotel bed and when he placed his hands on her shoulders, she couldn’t suppress a shudder of awareness.

“Go ahead,” she managed to squeak as he massaged her stiff neck muscles.

“Right. It turns out Kim’s the person giving Quinn money to fund his crimes. And her whole great American past? Yeah, nothing but a lie. Turns out she emigrated from Romania in the early 1990s.”

“Seriously?” Jace shook his head and straightened, his hands falling away from Felicity as he crossed his arms. She missed the warmth of his touch immediately. “How’d she lose the accent?”

“Acting school,” Geneva said. “Studied for three years at some fly-by-night place in L.A. Once she got out, she changed her name and did a few B-rated slasher movies before working for a high-dollar escort service out of Beverly Hills.”

“Jesus,” Felicity shook her head. “Why the hell didn’t the Bureau know any of this?”

“I’ve got the best sources around.” The pride in Geneva’s voice radiated through the phone line. “That’s why I protect them so well.”

“Is that how Kim met her husband, through this escort service?” Jace asked.

“Surprisingly, no. But she did get herself enough sugar daddies to afford a bunch of plastic surgery. Got basically everything done and looks nothing like her old self now. Once she’d made a tidy sum for herself, she left the escort service and moved to Santa Barbara. That’s where she met Tim Rigsdale.”

“The WASP King of California,” Jace said.

Felicity chuckled. “Got that right.” She tapped a few keys on her computer to bring up a few old publicity shots of the happy couple. “God, if these people get any whiter I’m going to need my shades. Can you email me pics of Kim pre-transformation?”

“Doing it now.” The tap-tap of computer keys echoed over the phone line. “Should be in your inbox, right about…now.”

Sure enough, her laptop dinged and Felicity clicked open the message from Geneva. No doubt about it, the Kim Rigsdale of today was virtually unrecognizable from the poor, brunette Romanian girl she’d been all those years ago. In fact, the only thing that remained the same was her eyes—still pale blue and haunted, as if she’d seen too much and could forget nothing.
