Chapter 13

Tradecraft: the methods developed by intelligence operatives to conduct their operations.

Levi allowed himself to be guided along by a loose grip on his elbow as he and Selene walked down what he was certain was a stone driveway. Their hands hadn’t been tied, which was standard for something like this. They weren’t captives and Levi understood the need for hoods. If Tasev hadn’t gone to all this trouble, Levi would have doubted they were really about to meet the man at all.

After an hour of driving, the SUV had finally stopped and they’d been escorted out, hoods still on. The soft clicking of Selene’s stilettos let him know she was next to him—that and her peaches and cream scent. For the most part the men in the vehicle had been silent, clearly on guard for an attack.

Which had been good for him since he’d been keeping track of every turn and outside sound. Unfortunately he guessed that half of their drive had just been them going around in circles. Still, as soon as they were able, he was writing down everything and retracing their steps as best he could. Tasev had gone to a lot of trouble to make sure they didn’t know where they were, which might mean he was staying at this location.

Levi heard a door being opened. Then someone grunted, “Stairs.” After a short walk up four brick stairs that he could see beneath the bottom of his hood, they entered a room. A foyer if the gleaming wood floor he could just barely see was any indication.

With the hood on, it was hard to smell much. The interior of it was hot and moist and he couldn’t wait to tear the damn thing off, but even so he just barely scented lemons. As if someone had recently mopped or cleaned. Yes, they were in someone’s home. He doubted it was Tasev’s permanent place of residence, if the man even had one, but this could be his Miami base.

Levi had to tamp down all emotions inside him. At one time he’d been a perfect agent, a perfect actor, able to blend in anywhere. Since his wife’s death he’d turned into a rage-filled machine, ready to strike down anyone that got in his way.

Until Selene.

Now he had her to worry about as well as the safety of countless civilians. Fuck him, why did he have to even care about a bunch of people? Strangers who meant nothing to him?

Because he’d once taken an oath to defend his country against any threat, foreign or domestic. No matter what had happened, that meant something to him. He could still help the NSA and get his revenge at the same time. He could find out if Tasev was guilty, then make him wish he’d never been born. A quick death for Tasev would be too easy.

No way in hell would that happen. The man would suffer for a long time before he took his last breath. That part of Levi had changed and he knew it.
