Sandra pressed the accelerator and the speedometer inched closer to seventy. Why couldn't they have met in a restaurant closer to Washington? It was dark and cold. Wind and rain batted against the small rented car.

Wyatt had said he loved her. She hadn't let herself explore her feelings for him. Until she'd talked to her father and cleared this mess up, she didn't want to deal with her emotions where Wyatt Randolph was concerned.

He was trying to protect her. He couldn't survive for long alone. The thought made her shudder. She wanted him alive.

Pushing aside any further thoughts, she decided to concentrate on something else—Sam and the stones. She didn't trust Sam Parker enough to accept the use of his car. His story had been fantastic, and she still wasn't prepared to believe it all. She was glad Wyatt agreed with her; neither of them trusted him fully.

They'd left the warehouse and gone in opposite directions. They didn't know where he would be and they refused to tell him where their hotel was located. He'd given them a phone number. Wyatt promised to call when they'd had time to think about what he'd told them.

Sandra looked at the phone that came with the rental car. Annie and her friend Jordon had rented the car together, although his name was on the papers in the glove compartment. The miles flew by in green markers as she sped south on Route 95 toward Richmond.

A system that could not only knock out communications but listen in on private conversations anywhere in the world. Her heart pounded at the thought. Planes would fall out of the sky, space travel depended on communications with the ground, control of televisions, even the news media was transmitted over satellite links—and those were just the small uses. Nuclear warheads could be launched with communication codes, computer networks shut down or activated. Chip Jackson had created a doomsday machine and sent it to Wyatt.

She checked the rearview mirror. It was too dark to identify the car behind her, but she was sure it was the same one she'd noticed since she'd left the District. Sandra shuddered again. Could it be Sam Parker? Had he told them the truth or did he just want to find the stones? Was someone tailing her? Initially Wyatt hadn't wanted her to go alone, and right now she saw the merit in his concern. Was it Wyatt? Had he somehow gotten a car and followed her?

She was headed to the FBI training facility at Quantico. Pressing the accelerator, she eyed the needle as it passed seventy. The car behind her maintained its distance. She slowed. It slowed.

Her heart jumped into her throat and fear sent a shiver down her spine. She was in this one alone . . . and she didn't like it. Exactly as she'd tried to explain to Wyatt. If she left him, he'd have no backup. No one to help him out of situations. She glanced at the phone. Who could she call? Wyatt had no transportation.
