According to the data Pickpocket had collected, Roth and Danby were the Bobbsey twins in olive drab. Classmates and teammates at West Point, they had spent their entire military careers together. From postings with the 82nd Airborne at the beginning of their service to a two-year stint with the Defense Intelligence Agency at the end, they’d marched in lockstep.

Then, having topped out in rank, Roth a colonel and Danby a lieutenant colonel, the two men abruptly switched to the civilian side of government, the Treasury Department. They signed on with a newly formed unit called Departmental Internal Management and Oversight

(DEIMOS).

Pickpocket informed J. D. that so far he’d been unable to find a description of this unit’s responsibilities or the name of the person who headed it.

“You’ve just made a very bad mistake,” he told his blackmailer.

“I was close to achieving our goal. Now you’ve left me no choice but to break away from my effort. If there is a second contractor, if you make it impossible for me to succeed, then my life’s work will become finding you—only you won’t know it when I do.”

J. D. hit the send button and clicked off the PCR.

“Because you never hear the shot that kills you,” he said aloud.

Before he could take his next step, the phone rang. It was his mother.

” J. D.” something terrible’s happened. Evan’s been arrested and ..
