"Spent the night? Oh, I see…" He cleared his throat again. "You're telling me you and Sebastian became involved in only a few days?"

"It happens that way sometimes," Talia said, keeping all traces of bitterness out of her voice with an effort of will. Her smile broadened deliberately. "Come now, Mr.

Pomeroy, doesn't the FBI believe in love at first sight?" She could hardly believe her own words.

"You will be seeing Sebastian again?" Pomeroy didn't appear amused.

"I certainly hope so," she smiled coyly.

"The Bureau has absolutely no interest in your personal relationships. But we would very much like to be kept informed if you should ever learn anything that might indicate Westbrook didn't die in Africa. Do I make myself quite clear, Miss Haywood?"

"Very."

"Here's a number where I can be reached."

She watched him scrawl the phone number on a slip of paper and place it on her desk. Politely she reached across and retrieved it. "I'll certainly let you know if I ever turn up anything," she lied, "but, frankly, I think my search is over. It would have been nice to fill in the few little gaps about his career in South America, but that doesn't appear to be possible. And I certainly don't want to go any further and find out an old family friend might have turned traitor!"

The marble eyes narrowed. "I can understand that. But the FBI relies heavily on citizen cooperation in its work, so please call that number if anything comes up or if you remember anything you think would be helpful."

"I understand, but, as I said, I think I've reached the point where I'll be calling a halt to my little hobby," Talia said smoothly as she saw him to the door. "Besides,"

she murmured with a meaningful smile, "I seem to have developed other interests lately."

Aaron Pomeroy shot her a cold glance. God! Brown eyes should be warm, not chips of dark marble, Talia thought uncomfortably. "Sebastian?"

She nodded, opening the door for him. "Perhaps I owe Westbrook something for the introduction?" She chuckled.

Perhaps it was an inevitable fate that she had tempted too often during the past few moments that placed Kane Sebastian in the outer office precisely at the moment Talia was escorting Aaron Pomeroy of out Advanced Management Designs.

Perhaps it was simply the streak of bad luck she seemed to be having lately.

Whatever the reason, it was very nearly Talia's undoing. She was already suffering a bad case of nerves, but it seemed as if some vicious deity was intent on pushing her over the edge altogether.

He was standing in front of Karen's desk, his craggy face intent and serious as he talked quietly to the secretary. The snug-fitting jeans and open-necked shirt brought back violent memories of three days ago. As if, Talia thought wretchedly, she needed any more memories.

What was he doing here? Had he come to torment her further?

There was no time to scream at him, no time to demand explanations, no time to slam the door in his face.
