“No one is going to let you leave, Emory, and no one wants you to. Blair found a half-empty bottle of wine, refilled her glass, and poured another for Emory. “Id be very grateful if youd look at Cam later. Shes been through a lot this past week and She realized her hand was trembling and put the glass down abruptly.

“Of course Ill look at her, Emory said.

“Thank you. Is there anyone you need to call? The White House will take care of devising some story for the press, but if theres someone whos going to be worried about where you are tonight

“No, there isnt. Emory reached for her wine. “Since my divorce last year, Ive been living in the family home with my mother. She travels a lot, as do I, so it works out very well for both of us. Right now shes in Milan.

Blair curled up on the sofa and regarded Emory thoughtfully. “Well then, consider yourself our guest.

“All right. Of course. Emory gestured to her evening dress. “Do you have clothes I can borrow? One of the security guards gave me his jacket in the car, but I gave that back to him when we got here.

“Between Diane and me, Im sure we can outfit you.

“In that case, I gratefully accept. I can e-mail my chief technician with instructions for the lab in the morning. This will give me a chance to check on Steph again, too.

“Is she badly hurt?

Emory shook her head. “I dont think so, but blunt trauma to the chest can be tricky. Id feel better if I could x-ray her and get a cardiogram, but thats out of the question.

“If you think its necessary, Tanner is very good at making arrangements for that sort of thing without a lot of fuss.

“You mean no records?

“Pretty much.

“Somehow I get the feeling none of this is new to you.

Blair sighed, kicked off her shoes, and propped her feet on a leather hassock. Sometime in the last year shed gotten used to living with danger. Not just the vague and barely countenanced possibility of harassment or kidnapping that shed grown up with, but the life and death reality of bombs and bullets. Her lover had almost died, her friends had been shot, and she had been exposed to a potentially lethal bioweapon. “No, its not new. She smiled wearily at Emory. “And I dont think its going to go awayever.

“What the hell went wrong? Matheson barked into the cell phone as he paced in his motel room. The need to change locations frequently and the inability to easily access his funds were wearing on him.

“He wasnt a professional, sir, and the targets were very well covered, the colonel said. “We knew using a civilian might be a problem.

Matheson sighed. “It was still a good plan to use someone who would be seen as targeting Constantine, but relying on amateurs is too risky. Were going to have to handle this ourselves.

“It wont be easy without inside help, sir.
