THEY ADJOURNED TO the workshop, Giacona helping his injured bodyguard in, while Daeng encouraged the other one along with his SIG.

“Dottore,” the one who’d been shot pleaded as Nate motioned for him to sit against the wall.

“That depends on how helpful your friend is,” Nate said in English. “Now sit.”

The large man seemed to understand that much, and did as he was told.

Nate turned his attention to Giacona. “You got any coffee? Maybe some tea? Anything like that?”

Giacona looked truly scared. He opened his mouth but all that came out were a few stuttering syllables.

“Never mind,” Nate said. “We can make this quick.” He moved to within just a few feet of the small-time arms dealer. “True or false: You talked to someone after my other friend and I were here.”

Giacona shook his head. “I…I…talk to no one.”

“You want to think about that answer? Because I find it hard to believe.”

“Well, no one about you. Understand? Is this not what you mean?”

“It’s exactly what I mean, and thanks for getting straight to the point.” Nate reached out and patted the side of Giacona’s face. “See, that makes things easier, and that’s something I appreciate.”

“Yeah, but then there’s the lying,” Daeng said from where he stood guard over the other two.

Nate nodded. “Very true.” He tried to lock eyes with Giacona, but the man kept looking away. “Who did you talk to about us?”

“I told you,” Giacona whispered.

“You lied.”

“I…I can’t.”

Nate leaned back. “Good. We’re getting somewhere. At least now you admit to talking to someone.”

“But I didn’t ad—” Giacona stopped himself, no doubt realizing he’d gone too far.

Nate let him stew for a moment, then put a hand under Giacona’s chin and lifted his face a couple inches. “Tell me who they were.”

An internal struggle played out on the man’s face. Finally, he said, “Americans.”

“You’re going to have to narrow that down a little bit.”

“Government.”

Nate frowned. “Government? The US government?”

Giacona nodded. “The request for the meeting came through a channel they have used in the past.”

“Who did the request come from?”

“I only know a code name.”

Nate remained silent, waiting.

“Clear Fox.”

Clear Fox. Nate played the name through his memory, but it didn’t match up to anything.

“What about the people you met. Who were they?”

“Four men came, but only one talked. He…he asked if I deal with anyone in the last few days. He was specifically looking for a woman, I think.”

“But you told them about us.”

“Yes,” he said reluctantly, then in a rush, “but I had to tell them about everyone I’d worked with recently. And…and I didn’t tell them your name. I didn’t. I don’t do that.”

“You’re going to tell me theirs, so you could be lying.”

“They didn’t put a gun to my head.”

“Fair point,” Nate said. “So why did you even tell them about us?”

“They are with the US. I have to answer. Maybe no gun to my head, but I didn’t want to wake up the next day in prison in Cuba.”

“What did you tell them about us?”
