The meeting at Langley was with the CIA Deputy Director, Dean Skinner. Aside from the constant emails Skinner attended to, the meeting involved just the three of them. Estes thought his boss seemed nervous and he kept waiting for the explanation as to why, but never got one.

The agenda was nothing more than updating them on minor developments in the ongoing joint investigation and giving the two a pep talk before they flew off to Eastern Europe to ‘solve this thing.’ He also commented on tomorrow being the anniversary of the September 11 attacks, an ominous coincidence nobody was thrilled about.

Skinner had a habit of mixing his metaphors…

‘This is not a needle in a haystack, it’s a fucking oily rag. And it’s a hundred degrees out there.’

Certainly they agreed.

‘We’re still where we were ten days ago,’ Skinner ended the meeting. ‘I shouldn’t have to remind you two of the stakes. A sleeping giant is out there and it’s getting restless. Heaven help us if he wakes up. Anything you find, there are plenty of analysts here at your disposal, so use them. And you, FBI agent Marsh, remember, this is a joint operation you’re part of, so no keeping secrets—and no firewalls.’
