The twilight grew brighter as morning moved toward afternoon. The snow had trailed off quite a bit, but it was still below zero. Kuznetsov’s vehicle had finally started to warm after five long minutes into their drive. King was going over the conversation with Kuznetsov in his head. The biggest thing he was trying to reconcile was whether or not Kuznetsov had actually met with CIA Director Lucas. Since King believed the virus and the subsequent vaccine had nothing to do with the United States government, he figured that the man Kuznetsov met with was an impostor.

Maybe.

It wasn’t that King was convinced Director Lucas was incapable of turning on his country. If he was being honest, he didn’t know Robert Lucas that well at all. It didn’t seem like his character to turn on his government, but King had been burned by people enough to know that almost anything was possible. The more King thought it over, though, the more the entire thing seemed orchestrated by someone either trying to cash in or trying to rise to power. Neither seemed likely for Lucas. He was a career military man. His father had also been a wealthy businessman who left Lucas quite a bit of money. So money would not have been a motivator for the man. Not to mention, if he really were involved, after the president had sent King to Barrow, Lucas surely would have tried to have King killed. Instead, he’d been nothing but helpful, including having the president call to keep him out of jail. If he wanted everything to be all wrapped up in Barrow at Kuznetsov’s lab without incident, jail would have been the perfect place to keep a skilled man like King. King wasn’t at all buying into the CIA being involved in wooing Kuznetsov. However, it did raise the question, who was?

The obvious choice was Nigel Warshaw. After all, he brokered the meeting between Kuznetsov and Director Lucas. But could a man as intelligent as Warshaw—smart enough to bring a software company from nothing to billions—be dumb enough to think no one would find out that he was involved in getting Kuznetsov to help him? Had Warshaw been tricked as well? That was something King couldn’t begin to investigate for the time being, so he would have to let it go. But someone needed to, and they needed to get started on it immediately. His go-to in this situation would have been Sam. But she already had her hands full. He couldn’t go to Director Lucas, because his loyalty was, at the very least, in question. The only other person he could call was his tech wizard, Dbie Johnson. She didn’t have any connections with government or agency people, but she knew everything there was to know about digging up information. If King could steer her in the right direction, maybe she could find something. King dialed her number.

“Hello?”

“Dbie, it’s X.”

“Everything okay?”

“Is it ever when I call you?”

“Right, no. How can I help?”

“I need to know everything there is to know about Nigel Warshaw.
