“Autumn, I’ve been thinking about what you said about Dr. Rayburn,” Doune told her.

“What did I say?” she asked, looking up from her computer.

“You were telling me that he talks a lot and asks questions.”

“All the time,” she said. “I’ve never seen anybody talk as much as he does.”

“Didn’t you also say that he was an older man?”

“He’s like a grandfather,” Autumn said. “Gray hair and everything.”

“I couldn’t see him over the phone, obviously, but this man sounded younger, and he wasn’t talkative. I want to call him back and see if you recognize his voice.”

“Okay.”

“It’s critical that he doesn’t hear you or realize that you’re listening. I’m not comfortable with having anybody know about your immunity except for the handful of people here who are already aware.”

“I’ll be quiet,” she said.

Doune dialed the number that he’d been given for Dr. Rayburn’s cell phone. It was answered almost immediately by the same man he’d spoken to earlier.

“This is George.”

“Dr. Rayburn,” Doune said. “This is Nick Doune.”

“Dr. Doune, how are you?”

“I’m fine,” Doune said. “We’ve been discussing your offer, and some questions have arisen about security. Would you mind giving me more details on how you plan to keep this person safe during the trip to California?”

He tilted the phone so Autumn could put her ear against it as the man began to speak. Almost immediately, she frowned and shook her head, handing the phone back.

Doune listened for a while then finally told the person on the other end of the phone that they’d think about it. He ended the conversation as quickly as possible.

“So that wasn’t him?” he asked.

“No,” Autumn said. “That guy had a deep voice. He didn’t sound anything like Dr. Rayburn. You’re not really going to let me go there, are you?”

“Of course not,” he said. “Especially if that wasn’t even Dr. Rayburn.”
