Rob cleared his throat. âItâs about Jackie,â he said.
âSure,â said Faith. âGet here as quick as you can. Iâm in room B3.â
A black Chevy was waiting for him across the street from the complex. Twenty minutes later he was at TOTALVACS. When he reached room B3, it was empty. A closed laptop lay on the meeting room desk in the middle of the room.
He sat on one of the steel and black leather meeting room chairs and waited. The door opened a minute later.
âWe donât have much time, Rob. I just asked Bishop to give us five minutes. Heâs champing at the bit.â She stood near him, then pulled out the chair beside him and sat.
âWhat happened about Jackie?â Her tone had softened, but it still felt as if she was following some State Department guide to building empathy and getting information.
He suddenly regretted that heâd asked to speak to her about Jackie. She wasnât going to be sympathetic. What had he been thinking?
âIs this to do with Vladimir and your meeting?â said Faith. âA report I saw said he showed you his phone screen. What was on it, a picture of Jackie?â
He thought about denying it for a few seconds, but decided against it. âNo, a video. And she looked alive.â He shifted in his seat, sitting up straighter. âAre you watching me all the time?â
âNot when youâre in the shower. I have my limits.â She smiled. âWhat was going on in the video he showed you?â
âJackie was trying to speak to me. Sheâs alive. She has to be.â Rob leaned forward. His stomach had tightened talking about it. âShe had on a t-shirt she bought a few days before she supposedly died in London. She spoke about her medicine.â He paused to breathe in. âSheâs not dead.â
Faith put her hand up, as if to stop him saying any more.
âWait, stop Rob, this is the type of psychological operation the Russians are really good at. They make you think someone close to you is dead or that the dead are alive and then tell you what to do to make it real. I know all about this garbage.â She reached forward, put her hand on top of his, squeezed it, then let it go. Again, it seemed as if she was following some empathy guide.
âThe Russians will use whatever dirty tricks they can to get you to do their bidding. You clearly havenât taken to honey traps, so psychological operations, psy-ops, is their next step. Did they ask you to interfere in the vaccine production process?â
He looked at her.
âI want to talk about this. I suggest we use my idea for a new version of the vaccine to fool the Russians into thinking theyâve won, and we keep going with the production of the first version.â
âIâm glad youâve come to your senses. And,â she touched his hand again, âIâm sure Jackie would be proud of you.â
She stood and headed for the door. She turned as she reached it and smiled at him.
