Dillon shrugged. “An alias I’ve used on and off for years.”

Blake nodded. “So you think Devlin might be able to help us find Riley?”

“If anyone can. Once we have Riley, we haul him back to London to identify that phoney lawyer from the Wandsworth security cameras. Once we have his face, we’ll move on to his identity.”

“You sound confident!”

“I am. With luck, he could be a stepping stone to Judas.”

Blake nodded slowly. “It’s not much.”

“It’s all we’ve got, and another thing. If we do find that place where Judas is holding her, it won’t do any good to call in the Navy Seals or any kind of special forces. He’ll kill her stone dead at the first sound.”

“You mean you’d want to go in on your own?”

“I’d need backup,” Dillon told him. “But I did see a fair amount of the interior. I know she’s on the third floor and things like that.”

“But one man.” Blake shook his head. “That’s crazy.”

“He only has five Maccabees with him,” Dillon said. “And no indication of staff. But then he wouldn’t have staff for obvious reasons. So, five plus Judas is six.”

“And you’d do that on your own?”

“Why not? You’ve heard the old joke about the tailor in the fairytale by the Brothers Grimm? Five at one blow? I’ll make it six.”

“That was flies on a slice of jam and bread,” Blake said.

“Same difference.” Dillon called Kersey. “Another Bushmills and I’ll turn in.”

“Right away, sir.”

“You know,” Blake said, “there’s one thing that really bugs me about the whole business.”

“And what’s that?” Dillon asked, taking the drink that Kersey brought.

“From what Marie de Brissac told you, the general knew from that anonymous letter only that his wife had spent the night with an American officer. He didn’t know it was Jake Cazalet.”

“So it would appear.”

“So only Marie and her mother and the President knew the secret.”

“You’re forgetting Teddy Grant.”

“Okay, but that means only three left when the countess died. So how in the hell did Judas find out?”

“God knows. All that matters is he did.” Dillon switched off the overhead light. “I’m going to sleep while the going’s good,” and he tilted back his seat.
