Jim’s admission had shocked Elizabeth to her core. As Scott walked in the small office, she lifted her eyes from the screen and stared up at him.

“Words fail me,” she stammered. “How could I have been so wrong about him—again?”

“Don’t be so hard on yourself. Psychopaths are masters of deceit and manipulation. They can mimic emotions in a heartbeat, and know how to read people and play to their weaknesses.”

“How were you able to see through his act?”

“Watching the two of you, I was able to study him. I’ve interrogated many just like him, and I’ve learned how to recognize the signs. When we have a minute, I’ll show you.”

“Uh, Scott, can I ask you something?”

“Of course.”

“You have that amazing, high-tech safehouse on your little island, then this small home here on St. Thomas. They’re so different. What’s the deal? Can you tell me, or is it top secret?”

He grinned. “This small home is only used for interrogations. The safehouse is designed to protect high-value targets. They come in from all over the world.”

“What kind of people?”

“Witnesses needing protection, VIPs under threat, that sort of thing. The house keeps them under wraps and out of danger. Sometimes we’ll have an entire family, that’s why it’s so big.”

“Interesting…” she mumbled, “and about what’s happening now. You have Jim and Dan being sent back to California, and David Clark and Ewen MacDonald working with you against Conchello. Do you think you’ll be taking him in soon?”

“Elizabeth, the operation is in full swing. If things continue to fall into place, the answer is yes. I have a plan, and I’m almost ready to share it with you.”

“I can’t wait to hear about it, but you just said the safehouse on the island is for international guests?”

“Yeah.”

“Holy crap,” she breathed, her eyes widening. “You work for the CIA.”
