THIRTY

Merrit was in the South Tower high-roller suite that was still set up with Weir’s computers. Gratifyingly, his prey had conveniently provided the means by which he could be located and eliminated without subterfuge.

It was obvious that Ironwood’s researcher had been in the observation area above the Red Room. It was equally obvious what he’d been doing there. One of the overhead cameras was still trained on the nine-foot computer screen.

Weir might have erased the results of Ironwood’s search, including the parts of the database allowing it to be repeated, but the overhead camera had recorded what had been found.

Half of what Frank Beyoun mumbled as he worked to re-create what the overhead camera saw, Merrit didn’t understand. The image the camera had recorded was what the mathematician called “keystoned,” and apparently he needed a special program to correct that. He also needed another program to improve the focus. Even then, when it did, the image revealed a string of numbers at the bottom of the screen so blurred that Merrit couldn’t read them.

Helpful as always, Frank explained that since he knew that the string of numbers consisted of one group of eight numerals and one group of seven numerals, and he also knew the first four numerals in the first group and the first three numerals in the second, he could teach the program how to resolve the other numerals. Or something like that.

It took two precious hours, but Merrit’s new best friend finally delivered. Frank wrote the numbers down for him: the longitude and latitude of Ironwood’s fourth outpost, to a precision of ten feet. It was the site where the MacCleirigh Foundation and Weir would be going as quickly as they could.

So would Merrit.

First, though, he’d have to thank Frank. Personally.
