Two hundred yards away and three stories up, Annie Pryor stood, fists shaking at her side, her face livid with rage.

“These bastards just tried to kill me! These shits killed Dinah and Teddy and Bess in Paris! Bess was three! ”

Fiero, ignoring her, turned to Finnigan. “The Uber?”

“It’s about six blocks south.” He turned to Pryor. “We won’t be going with you when Llorente’s guys get here. I’m a sensitive soul. Can’t stand violence.”

“You’re fucking mercenaries!” she spat.

“I’m an aggrieved and loyal daughter, and your lying just imperiled my father.” Fiero bobbed her head toward Finnigan. “He’s a fucking mercenary.”

Finnigan stuck a pugnacious finger at her. “Yeah! What she said!”

“The weight of the US Intelligence Community is about to come down on your both! The rest of your lives will be spent at a nameless prison in Turkey. Do you understand me?”

Finnigan turned to his partner. “This would be the same US Intelligence Community that missed the hacking of an American election, 9/11, and the fall of the Berlin Wall.”

“This is some kind of joke to you?”

“Nope,” Finnigan said. “You lied to us about a bunch of bombers. That’s no joke at all, honey.”

Fiero’s phone vibrated. “Hugo’s here.”

“No Spanish intelligence operation would do what you’re suggesting. Not in a million fucking years! You’re bluffing.”

Fiero shrugged. No one shrugs with as much nuance as the Spanish.

She received more texts and sent some, and they got ready to decamp.

Pryor was quickly making the transition from outrage to terror. As Finnigan reached for the door, she said, “I’ll scream! I’ll bring out the entire hotel.”

Fiero said, “I’ll knock you unconscious. I might anyway.”

Someone rapped thrice on the door. Finnigan moved into an oblique cover position, gun in a two-hand grip, and Fiero opened the door.

Three men stood and nodded. They were small, dark-skinned, and nondescript.

The leader nodded to Fiero.

Pryor’s knees buckled.
