ELEVEN

“DON'T hang up. It's Leah.” She had moved out to the Land Rover to make the call.

“It sounded like you,” came the voice Leah never felt fit the delicate Ming Toy. “But who is Gerri something?”

“We international fugitives have to keep changing identities, Ming. If it weren't for the intrigue, what would be the appeal?”

“I don't know how you keep your sense of humor. This is too dangerous, too frightening for me.”

“You handle it well, Ming.”

“I called with a question. Your friend, Williams?”

“Buck, yes.”

“No, not Buck. Longer name.”

“Cameron?”

“Yes! Where's his family?”

“West somewhere, why? I think only his father and brother are still around.”

“I don't think they're around either. There was lots of talk at Buffer today about what happened to Dr. Rosenzweig's house and his people. They don't know where he is, but they're making it look like everybody died in the fire.”

“Yes?”

“They're saying the same thing will happen to Cameron Williams's people if they don't give him up.”

“His relatives don't know where he is!” Leah said.

“He's smarter than to give them that kind of information.”

“Leah, they may already be dead. This was supposed to happen right away.”

“What was?”

“Torture. Dismemberment. They tell or they are killed. Then comes the fire to cover it up.”

“I don't know what to do.”

“Just have your friend check on them. Maybe he can warn them in time.”

“I will, Ming. How are you doing? Ready to come see us? Whoops! Hang on.” Leah slid down in the seat as two uniformed GC officers strolled by. They stopped right next to the Rover, chatting and smoking. “Ming,” Leah whispered, “can you still hear me?”

“Barely. What's going on?”

“I've got company. If I don't say anything, you'll know why.”

“If you need to hang up—”

“I'd rather stay on with you. Let me give you Rayford Steele's number in case I get caught. He'll answer to Marvin Berry.”

“Got it.”

Leah felt the vehicle rock. “They're leaning against the car,” she said. “Luckily all the windows are tinted except the windshield.”

“Where are you?”

“Illinois.”

“I mean in the car.”

“Floor of the front seat. Wish I were daintier. The gearshift is killing me.”

“They don't see you?”

“Don't think so. I can hear them plain as day.”

“What?”

Leah didn't want to speak louder. The Peacekeepers were trading wild party stories. She wanted to say, “Yeah, and I'm the Easter bunny,” but she lay still.

“This hunk of junk looks like it's been through a war,” one said.

“It has, stupid. It's old enough to have been through the war and the earthquake.”

“Tough make.”

“Not as tough as the Land Cruiser.”

“No? Same company?”

“Toyota.”

“Really?”

“Expensive.”

“More than this?”

“Quite a bit more.”

“No kiddin'? This thing's loaded. I think it's got a GPS.”

“This rig? Nah.”

“Betcha.”

“How much?”

“Ten-spot.”

“You're on.”

“Oh, no,” Leah whispered, “they're coming to the front.”

“You need me to call Rayford?”

But Leah didn't answer. She tucked the phone between the seats and pretended to sleep.

“See, isn't that the positioning system right there. Hey! She all right?”

“Who? Oh, man! Door's unlocked. Ask her.”

A rap on the window. “Hey, lady!”

Leah ignored it, but moved slightly so they wouldn't think she was dead.
