Alicia Ponte had checked out of the human race. She was still breathing, but she didn’t know and didn’t care. She’d gone deep into her subconscious, past the place where dreams begin to a tiny corner in her mind where memories from a hundred lifetimes had been stored. And there she hovered, lost between the present and the past. For all intents and purposes, she’d put herself on hold.

Richard was in Italy, but not for long. He’d entered the country under an assumed name, flashed the appropriate matching passport and identification papers and made his way to Naples. From there, he’d hired a car and headed south toward his next destination, which was Sicily, with the ultimate goal of reaching East Germany.

There were more direct routes to take, but Richard wasn’t one for the obvious, and he was changing his appearance as fast as a chameleon changes colors. He’d long since dumped his Gucci shoes and Italian suits for workman’s wear: loose denim pants, a little baggy in the rear; a faded blue, collarless shirt he left hanging outside his pants; and a fisherman’s cap pulled low over a freshly shaved head and a two-day growth of beard, which was turning out to be gray. Not even his mother would have recognized him. This escape plan had been in place for years, although in truth, he’d never thought he would have to use it. He carried the papers that matched his new identity and his money in a workman’s duffel bag slung over one shoulder, along with a couple of changes of clothes. Beyond that, he was still vulnerable. He needed to get back in control of his life and his money.

Paolo Gianni was probably furious. He would know by now that he’d been had. What Richard wasn’t certain of was whether Paolo would tell the authorities and risk being arrested for aiding and abetting. Treason was an awful thing. Being accused of it in a foreign country would be even worse, and while Paolo Gianni was a big-deal actor in America, he was still an Italian citizen. If he caved and informed the authorities how he’d been duped, they would soon know that Richard had landed in Italy. But they had no way of knowing where he would go from there. His plan was perfect. All he needed was a little more time to see the rest of it through, and then he would, for all intents and purposes, have disappeared from the face of the earth.

After that, he would be able to focus on retribution. But he was going to need help Stateside, and the only man he trusted to follow through for him there was still in jail in Justice, Georgia.

He sat near the shore, waiting for the fishing boat he’d hired to arrive, and glanced around, making sure he was alone and unobserved. Then he pulled another disposable cell phone from his pocket, punched in a series of numbers and waited for the call to go through.
