As the morning sun pushed higher in the sky, the clouds vanished, and it was shaping up to be another sunny day in the city of Rio de Janeiro where it was supposed to be parties and playtime. Not murder and beheadings.

“This looks like the building.” Kate peered through the windshield as Fisher drove. “The editor knows we’re coming, right?”

“He knows. Cain said it was all arranged and the money is to be wired as soon as we give him the okay.”

“Things certainly work differently down here.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Fisher pulled into the parking lot and cut the engine. “Before we go inside, I want to say something.” He appeared to consider his words carefully. “You and I haven’t had a chance to work together much and I’m glad to get the opportunity to get to know you better. You’ve been through a lot in the short time since you joined the team. And I just want to say I’m glad you’re here.”

“Thank you.” Kate didn’t really know what else to say. They were in an awkward situation. The team was split. There were tensions between her and her boss. This whole thing was turning into a calamity and nothing made sense anymore.

“Is there anything you want to say to me?” Fisher pressed on.

“I don’t think so.”

“Reid, I can see something’s going on with you and Quinn and it’s starting to spill over. I don’t know what it is, but he’s pretty up in arms about it. Especially Scarborough’s decision to keep you here when he’s the senior profiler.”

“Yeah. I kind of figured that would be a sore spot. He already thinks Scarborough favors me.”

“Doesn’t he?”

“What am I supposed to do? I’m here to do a job and I want to find this killer. Look, I’ll be honest, there are things about Quinn that I’ve only recently discovered. Things that shed a whole new light on him. And I don’t know if we’ll survive this. I mean, if the team will survive what’s going on with Quinn and me.”

“Yeah, I figured.” Fisher exhaled. “I know Quinn pretty well and I think I can guess what’s going on. The thing is, you can’t let it distract you. Not here. Not now. I need you here 100 percent and so does Scarborough. We’re operating at half capacity as it is. Whatever’s going on is going to have to be put on the back burner. Can you do that?”

“Absolutely. My concern is getting the three of us out of here safely and putting the killer behind bars. Whatever it takes to make that happen is what I’m willing to do.”

“Good.” Fisher pulled the keys from the ignition. “Then let’s go inside and see what this editor has to say.” He stepped out of the car and waited for Kate to join him. With sunglasses on his eyes and a toothpick between his lips, he led the way into the building. “Time to brush up on our Portuguese.”

Kate grinned and followed inside.

“Good morning.” Fisher appeared slightly rattled while he used his phone to try and translate for him.
