6:20 a.m. —Tyson’s Corner, Virginia

HEINRICH BRAUN rubbed his eyes. They burned from lack of sleep. He had been awakened late last night by a phone call from Ned Richards, informing him the Baynebridge black site where the hostages were being assembled had been attacked.

Within an hour of notifying William Spryte, this new, extremely reckless plan had been put in motion, and Braun had been ordered to Virginia to oversee it. He was in flight to Regan National on Spryte’s private plane less than an hour after that.

The rhythmic clacking of tires on the beltway threatened to pull him back to sleep as he and Tris rode in the backseat of the sedan. In front of him, Patrick was driving with a cell phone pressed to his ear, making final arrangements.

Is this what brings us down? Is this insane act what finally destroys me?

“How long until it’s ready?” Patrick asked into his cell phone. He nodded and looked into the rearview. “Just another hour for the truck,” he said to Braun’s reflection. “They had no trouble at the factory. Everything they needed was on the dock.”

Braun nodded before turning to Tris. “You’re certain you have the right name?” he asked.

“It’s not the first time this Op has been planned,” she said. “We already had a list of over a hundred candidates just waiting to be activated.”

“Activated,” he muttered, mocking, shaking his head.

“Encouraged,” she replied with a sly smile before leaning over to him. “The profile is a perfect match. We already know what his response will be.”

“Fine,” Braun snapped. “If we’re going down in flames, we might as well do it with a plan. I just hope I can be out of the city before they execute.”

“Relax,” Tris said, patting Braun’s leg, patronizing. “We both know, regardless of the clumsiness, this will solve one of your biggest problems.”

Braun nodded reluctantly. But he couldn’t help feeling resentful of such a dramatic response when he had, for so many years, been so careful to apply only the precise amount of pressure required to solve a problem.

“We’re here,” Patrick said as he pulled to a halt in front of a small, secluded house on a dead end service road just inside the beltway.

“You have the address and directions to where the truck will be?” Braun asked.

“Yes sir,” Patrick replied before ripping a slip of paper off a pad and handing it back to Braun.

Tris reached out and took it. “I’ll be back in a few minutes,” she said.

She got out and walked down the driveway to the front door. Braun watched her as he clenched and unclenched his fist against his leg. She disappeared inside without so much as a pause for the door lock.

Damn, she’s impressive, Braun thought, grinning.

A few minutes later, she reappeared through the door, ushering a woman and a child who were both crying. A swarthy man ran to the door behind them and called out. Braun couldn’t make out what he said from inside the car but Tris turned and fired three silenced shots at the doorway.
