Neither of us said anything. We didn't have to. The knowledge vibrated between us in the silence.

Suddenly Fiora made a small sound deep in her throat, anger and despair and fear. Fear most of all. She didn't bother concealing it now. She just looked at me like a woman saying good-bye.

And then she looked away.

I put my fingers under Flora's chin and forced her to look at me again.

"When an assassin is trying to kill you, guessing who paid him isn't good enough," I said flatly. "Sometimes the obvious answer isn't the right one. Volker has no more reason to kill me now than he had at any time in the past.

I've never tried to hide. If he wanted me, I was always here. And never, not once, did he take the bait."

Fiora shivered despite the warmth of the comforter and my body, but she didn't disagree. "I know."

"If Volker is after me now, he's got more than revenge on his mind. Vengeance isn't in his repertoire. That would require the ability to feel. His emotions don't run that deep."

Her smile was sad. "I know that, too. But you have emotions, Fiddler. Volker doesn't have that problem. He can kill or betray and leave without a backward look. You can't. You pay. You get... cold."

"Look," I said impatiently, cutting across her words. "Even if I had Volker in the cross hairs right now, I'd be a fool to pull the trigger. I have to know why he—"

"That's just it," Fiora said, talking over me, talking fast, words spilling out before I could stop them. "You would hesitate before you killed him, but he wouldn't hesitate one bit. He's utterly ruthless. You aren't. Not like he is, all the way to the core. That's a terrible edge to give him. Don't you realize that, Fiddler? You'll give Volker an even break and he'll kill you and walk away just like he killed—" Her voice broke.

Danny.
