CHAPTER 2.7

Three hours later, Elaine Brogan was sitting in a dark corner of a restaurant just around the corner from the CDG Lost Luggage Office, the baggage claim check clutched in her sweaty hand. She was afraid to move.

Her wounds were seeping blood and she was afraid that it would show on the light blue Air France overcoat she was wearing.

Elaine was sure that the man she had bumped into in the jetway had figured out what happened by now. He would have checked with the flight attendants to see if there had been a crew change. Fortunately, the man must not have known about her Irish passport or he could have had her stopped when she went through Passport Control.

At the moment, Elaine was mired down with indecision about whether to try and retrieve the suitcase she had given the nun to check for her. It was probably still going around and around on the conveyor in Baggage Claim, or had already been picked up and taken to the office for lost and unclaimed luggage. She thought she could probably make it back to Washington on the Irish passport, if she moved quickly. But Lassiter had framed her so thoroughly that without the data key, she would look guilty. It would appear that something had gone wrong, that she had perhaps not been paid for the product, and that she was trying to come back and blame Lassiter for it.

At the end of the day, it would be his word against hers. Who would they believe? A 26-year-old from the worst section of Pittsburgh with a criminal father, who had worked at Treasury for six months? Or a gray-haired man who had devoted his whole life to the department?

The answer was obvious.

Elaine gritted her teeth—it took all her willpower not to slam her fist down on the table, to overturn chairs, to scream her head off...the sneaky old bastard! He had used her in the coldest, most heartless way imaginable. All those months she had slaved away on his “secret project” for him, only so he could sell the resulting information to criminals and then frame her for it!

Had he lied to her about Nick, too?

He must have.

If she ever came face to face against Gene Lassiter, even if inside a courtroom, she didn’t think she would be able to control herself.
