Chapter Eleven

Vixen

Tiffany took a breath, but kept her shoulders relaxed and squared. Interrogations was more about learning about the signals someone gave off versus verbal tics. She’d learn from the best how to build rapport, break down communication and frustrate a suspect until they were too upset to think clearly, and how to ferret out the truth between a multitude of lies.

All of those would help her with Abd.

She would be operating from the blind, as she wouldn’t have the luxury of days with the suspect. She needed to hit, hard and fast, but give Trace the proper baseline he needed when he took over the interrogations. Fundamentally, she needed to antagonize Abd on things that she already knew the answers to and watch his reactions. Trace would be watching and studying what she could bring out in Abd on the other side of the closed-circuit television they’d set up—and so would the SEALs.

She’d never had audience to her work that could rival how important this mission was. She’d been in dangerous situations where lives hung on the balance, and one wrong move could ruin everything. She’d lied to dictators, and helped topple countries for the good of Country and Patriotism. But this was personal. She’d seen the relief when Cry Baby spotted Heim, the instantaneous way his shoulders relaxed just a bit. The bond between SEALs was unlike anything she’d seen. She trusted Trace with her life, but they operated in two different capacities, often not in anything more than contact over the phone or comm unit for months at a time. She wanted to do this right for Cry Baby, and the men that he wanted to protect.

Abd was a gaunt form in his orange jumpsuit and wiry hair. Born in Phoenix, Arizona under the name of Donovan Prichard, Abd converted to Islam during his junior year at Caltech. the conversion came with a name change, and frequent travel to different countries on the terrorist watch list. His wide green eyes assessed her with cunning and calm as he folded his slender hands in his lap and waited. They had him released, as she’d requested, but two guards, armed with rifles, stood at attention behind him and against the walls. She didn’t acknowledge them as she studied Abd as well.

Nonverbal communications were good for several things, from reinforcing or modifying what was said in words, showing that some had something to say or was done talking, exposing the emotional state, or define relationships. Abd’s relaxed, almost gloating expression told her he’d been expecting someone to come see him, and he was enjoying it.

“Donavan Prichard, what a long way you’ve come from Caltech. What did you study there, anyway?” she asked.

He frowned at her. “My name is Abd Al Alim bin Abdul, and you will call me such. My time at that school is irrelevant, and my study of biological engineering as well.”

Maybe not irrelevant, you still answered the question. He took pride in what he studied, and she wondered if he’d finished his degree somewhere else under his Islamic name.
