Trevor was sitting, yet again, in the back of their van. At least Jackson had done the driving this time, but still, when this was all over, Trevor was going to swear off vehicles for a month. At least he was in slightly more comfortable civilian clothes this time. He sat across from Aidan, who was dressed in jeans and a t-shirt under a bomber jacket with sneakers on. It seemed strange to see him out of tactical clothing and combat boots. He was resting his head against the wall of the van, eyes closed, but Trevor knew he wasn’t sleeping. The man might sleep through briefings, and he might appear to be off in his own world, but when he had a job to do, his focus was always on the mission, and they were on one now. Still, Aidan’s haircut and accent (international travel was rare enough to be noteworthy) would have made him a little too memorable, so Trevor was handling the legwork on this one. They had used Dr. Monroe’s compass to track their target through Seattle. From there, it was easy for Trevor to get in an elevator with him, get off on his floor and see which room he went to. Trevor had gone to the front desk and asked them for the name of the man in that room, which they of course refused. He replied that he could always just wait for the man to come downstairs again and introduce himself, but he’d rather just pay them to save him the trouble. He had been genuinely surprised when they kicked him out. It was, however, somewhat comforting to know that there were still places where social propriety ruled, although that sort of decency probably cost quite a bit.

It had turned out that no bribe was necessary. By tailing him a little longer, they had seen him sign the visitor’s log at a building he was apparently working in and Trevor had simply gone in to read the name: Mason Rayne. Maya had known the guy’s name after all. Trevor didn’t know why he was surprised, but it was startling to get confirmation that she was that gifted. They’d run an internet search, but they’d found nothing noteworthy: no immediate family, and no apparent government connections, meaning they were in the clear to apprehend him. If he had been connected to the government or one of the more prominent corporations, it wouldn’t have stopped them, but they might have proceeded with a little more caution. Instead, they were waiting in the back of their van in an alley with a set of shackles firmly secured to the new bench they’d installed at the front of the cargo area and only their sidearms on their persons; not the rifles they were used to. Trevor had traded his usual tactical jacket for a plain black t-shirt, but kept his usual pants and boots.

They had noted that Mason was a creature of habit. He ate breakfast
