Elizabeth lay in bed, pretending to sleep. Her body remained in the position it had held when she regained consciousness. Her mind was busy taking stock of her situation. She visualized Baltimore on the map, and tried to remember the details of the drive out. She thought about the house, and the cameras, and the woods around the farm. She thought about Hesha, and she acknowledged the blind spot there—she absolutely could not analyze him; could not predict his reactions. She couldn’t reach him unless he allowed her to.

But there were other things.

Elizabeth slid out of bed, weakly, and into the desk chair. She reached for the phone, picked it up, and listened. There was a dial tone. She punched in the number for Amy Rutherford’s house and waited for the connection. The line opened…and closed with a click. A voice came to her clearly and crisply over far shorter wires.

“Good afternoon, Liz. Do you need something?” It was Thompson.

“I’d like to call New York. How do I get an outside line?” she asked, letting go the fact that she’d needed no extra codes to do so before.

“I’m sorry, Liz.” He waited, holding the phone in his room, ready with prepared explanations, excuses, orders from above.

“I think I understand.” She replaced the receiver. Strike one, Dimitros, she thought. Idly, she turned over the books and tools on her desk—Vegel’s desk. One drawer held office supplies: pens, pencils, erasers, staples, cellophane tape.

Elizabeth unplugged the phone, set the roll of tape down thoughtfully, and began—maddeningly slow and inexplicably light-headed—to search her room.
