CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

Torsten Dahl found himself, unexpectedly, in a coffee shop in Zurich. Sabrina Balboni had been allowed her freedom to help catch Webb, and had been directed to head for the Swiss city. Now, the rest of the team had traveled after, knowing that where Balboni was so too would be Tyler Webb.

And the mercenaries. Let’s not forget about those.

Dahl believed he’d had his fill of these so-called soldiers of fortune lately. From Arizona to New York they’d plagued his every waking hour, and then even during a much-needed vacation in sunny Barbados they had attempted the unthinkable—to hurt his family. Dahl didn’t think any hired killers survived that day,

Balboni, to her credit and desperate need to stay out of prison, had played her part well. She’d taken the time to convince Webb even though he already respected and revered her skills. And she knew her job, which at the moment was all about Webb. She knew her Saint Germain history.

Zurich was the place where, according to old accounts by various public figures including Sir Francis Bacon, Saint Germain had founded Freemasonry. The Count had spent some years here, perfecting that particular formula, before transplanting it to Venice and also Paris. Dahl cared about none of that now. He only cared about stopping Webb.

“Any contact?” he asked Kinimaka.

The Hawaiian held the cell that was Sabrina’s point of contact. “Not yet,” he said. “Shoulda implanted that tracker, brah.”

“Too obvious. And Webb wouldn’t hesitate to kill her if he found it. I believe she’ll come through.”

“She’s not just a thief. She is different. Proven in most ways and lacking in just a few. I believe she’s redeemable.”

The Hawaiian laughed. “Like your new girlfriend? Careful, Dahl, you’ll end up surrounded by your own sympathies.”

“Kenzie is not my girlfriend,” Dahl said crossly. “Stop believing everything Alicia tells you.”

Hearing her name, Kenzie looked over from the table beside them. “Talk to me, boys, not about me. So, when are we setting off after this screwball thief?”

Dahl swallowed a harsh retort. “We allow her to settle in, gain Webb’s total confidence, and then she will call. Have faith.”

Kenzie grunted and returned to staring into the black depths of her coffee cup as if she could read their future in what grounds remained.

Dahl stared into space, ignoring the comings and goings all around. Since Barbados and the terrors his wife, children and he had been put through by his old enemy, his life had been through more twists and turns than a corkscrew. Johanna, at first willing to try again, was already starting to pull away. The children were holding up well, bouncing back with a vengeance, and not even suffering nightmares after their ordeal. There was always a silver lining, he thought, even where the storm ran deepest.

It seemed there was nothing more to do, or try, short of quitting his job. Even then, would an initial
