They flew him back to the States on an American Airlines Boeing 767, flying coach, naturally. The cabin attendants, all pretty young women, viewed him with suspicion, and it occurred to him that Ashe had probably put the boot in and told them he was a suspected rapist and murderer. He was handcuffed to Detective Ashe the whole flight, except when Ashe needed the bathroom. They cuffed him to Preston, and Ashe unlocked his own cuff to leave his seat. Ashe spent the first part of the journey trying to put him off balance with grating observations.

“You’d better get used to the restraint, Nolan. They get a lot worse when you finish up in Pelican Bay. That’s where they put scum like you.”

Nolan forced a smile. “Do you get off on talking crap like that, Ashe? You playing with yourself right now? Have you got your hand inside your pants?”

Ashe scowled. “Very funny. You’ll have plenty of time for that when they put you away. That’s if you’re not chosen to be someone’s girlfriend.”

“Is that it, Ashe? Are you gay, you get off on men?”

But the detective wasn’t to be put off. “Why did you do it, Nolan? What makes a man like you with a good career, go rape a woman? And then kill those people while you were on operations? Yeah, the military guys told us all about you. They’re going after you when we’re done. You’re gonna go down for so long, you’ll never see the daylight ever again. Don’t you have any regrets?”

“I do have one, Ashe.”

“Yeah? What’s that?” The man leaned closer, waiting for an admission.

“Sitting next to you on a long flight. You ever consider taking a shower?”

Ashe looked away, and Nolan felt he’d succeed in getting to him. That was good. The last thing he needed was the guy needling him throughout the entire flight. Ashe didn’t bother him after that, and Nolan was left to his own thoughts. He made a mental list of priorities. He’d need it ready for when he talked to his lawyer.

I have to know what’s bugging Carol Summers. It seems incredible that she changed so quickly from loving partner to betrayer. Damned Judas Iscariot has nothing on her. I’ll try to talk to her as soon as I can after landing.

But the lawyer would come first, and number one on the list would be to get him out on bail. Number two was to start searching for the real killer. He had no illusions; the cops would do their utmost to get a conviction. They’d set their sights on him and wouldn’t rest until he was in jail. And then he’d have the MPs to deal with. If JAG was sending in a lawyer, it wouldn’t be long before they started making a case for a Military Court Martial. The more he thought about it, the more he came to realize there was only one surefire route to freedom. He had to find the real culprit, the rapist murderer who was still out there somewhere, still on the loose.
