FLYING GAVE Bolan time to think. Galenka and the prisoner both gave him space, preoccupied with private thoughts. Bolan thought he could guess what some of those might be, but he was more concerned with what awaited them on touchdown in Chicago.

Bolan had called Brognola's private line and reported what he knew about their next target, clearing the way for emergency surveillance on Natalie Hyde. The big Fed wasn't sure how many more times he could play that card without explaining himself to the FBI, and it didn't help to learn that two agents from the Phoenix field office were listed as missing in action. Bolan added them to Seriozha's rising body count, convinced they'd never be found alive.

So many dead already, and no end in sight. Bolan was accustomed to violence—he killed instinctively, without hesitation or remorse—but his mission of the moment carried a sense of frustration that was unfamiliar. He lacked a sense of progress, forward movement toward achievement of his goal. Instead, it seemed that he was treading water with no visible signs of accomplishment.

No, that was wrong. They'd stopped two of Seriozha' s sleepers so far, saving untold lives in the process. Still, they were no closer to the man responsible for the bloodshed than when they had started.

Bolan resisted an urge to tabulate the dead since Barnum had emerged from prison. There was nothing to be gained from agonizing over strangers lost so far or those who might be killed before he finished it with Seriozha in his sights. He couldn't see beyond the Russian's death and frankly didn't care who pulled the trigger when the time came, but he still questioned Tasya Galenka's ability to drop a former lover in his tracks.

Beyond the culmination of his task in Seriozha's death, Bolan had no idea what would happen to the rest of the sleepers. He could squeeze Barnum for their names and addresses, transmit the intelligence to Hal or Stony Man, but their final disposition would be left to other hands. Whether they were arrested or simply made to vanish overnight, it wouldn't be Bolan's problem or responsibility.

Unless he had to take them one by one, with Seriozha still at large.

That prospect haunted him as they were airborne over Arizona and Utah, flying east toward a rendezvous with Denver and daylight. Fifteen or twenty sleepers, Barnum had said. They had subtracted two from the list, and one more was waiting in Chicago. That left a conservative dozen at large, maybe twice that many if Barnum had been rounding numbers down.

A dozen more lives, minimum, if Seriozha managed to elude them. And then what?

The worst-case scenario, short of Seriozha phoning in his orders to a dozen moles and letting them all run amok simultaneously, was seeing the ex-KGB man escape scot-free. Terminating his sleepers was only half the job, and the less important half, at that. Where could be other plans, other contingencies, if Seriozha was frustrated in executing this one. In fact, Bolan was willing to bet on it.
