Chapter 42

The flight back to Washington aboard Air Force One was a subdued affair, everyone on the plane was absolutely exhausted from the evenings events. President Kennedy had been speaking with Alexei Kosygin on and off for the past six hours. Abaddon had been fielding calls from various military leaders all evening.

From the odd parts of conversations they had managed overhear, they had managed to establish that the negotiations were going well with the Soviet’s, but the length of time that it was taking was becoming disconcerting. Faraday had spent the majority of the flight considering what Bobby had said about David. It just couldn’t be true, if he was helping them they must have hypnotised him. He was sitting beside Chase who had been drooling down his shirt for the last half hour. Whenever he looked over at Bobby he seemed to avert his eyes, he wondered perhaps if it had been something Lansky had said. Faraday couldn’t shake the feeling that maybe Meyer Lansky had been the one who ordered the car bomb, he has a motive, and he is a gangster.

“Do you know who ordered the car bomb?”

Bobby seemed startled by the question. “What?”

“Did Lansky order it?”

“I don’t know.” Bobby conceded.

“What do you mean you don’t know, don’t you care?” Faraday asked angrily.

“You know I do, it’s just with everything that’s going on, I haven’t been giving it much thought.”

“Well I have, I think it was Lansky.”

“It was probably Jacob.” Bobby contended.

“Probably Jacob? This is Nancy we are talking about, I thought she was your life!”

“She was, but I’ve lost her once before and I don’t know, I guess I knew it would happen again and now that it has, I feel a little relieved.”

“Relieved? How can you say that? My wife died!”

“I just mean I’m relieved that I don’t have to worry about her anymore, it’s over.”

“It’s not over until we get whoever did it and then I have someone else I need to deal with.”

“I actually need to talk to you about him.”

Faraday’s expression became one of rage. “What about him?”

“Kennedy told me we need to use him.”

“What, didn’t you tell him what happened?”

“I did but he says that’s a personal matter and it shouldn’t change his position.”

“You have to be kidding me? Was it a personal matter when we tried to save his brother, or was that just business?”

“Faraday I understand that you’re upset.”

“Upset! I’m way beyond upset Bobby!” He shouted, drawing looks from the Secret Service men dotted around the plane.

“Lower your voice. I understand your point of view but Will is all we’ve got, we don’t know if we can trust David.”

“We can’t trust Will!”

“I’m going to get rid of him, but for the time being we need him to tail David, you won’t need to see him.”

“I can’t believe you’re doing this to me.”

“I don’t have a choice.”

Faraday ignored Bobby’s protest, after all they had been through together and now Bobby didn’t trust David and was happy to use Will. There was no one left now.
