âTell me, Alex, have you lost control of your mind, or just your agent?â There was no preamble as Sophia Holmesâ hologram sprang to life over Fletcherâs desk.
âItâs under control.â
âLike hell it is. Your man had a running gun battle with Assembler thugs on the banks of the Mississippi. A hundred yards from a couple of kids. If I didnât know better Iâd say Price had completely left the reservation. You do realize we need Andersonâs vote by next week, correct? It sure looks to me like Price isnât helping us get there.â
âHeâs malfunctioning. Weâre bringing him back in. Itâs routine maintenance, alright? Some lab tech screwed up. Itâs not a problem.â
âLet me make one thing clear, Fletcher, in case itâs not already: Iâm not going to the gallows because you shit the bed.â
âCalm down. Weâve covered our tracks too well for that. Worst case they shut down a footnote security program as ineffective.â
âReally? Is that what Senator Anderson thought when you spoke this morning?â
For the space of a breath, Fletcher found himself scrambling to catch up. How did Holmes already know about his run-in with Anderson? Fletcher silently cursed himself for underestimating her.
âWerenât going to share that little tidbit, were you? Donât try to outplay me, Fletcher. It wonât work. And donât be naive: if this thing goes south thereâs no comfortable retirement for you. At best youâll rot in a prison cell the rest of your life. At best. Someoneâs taking the fall if our little operation breaks down, and donât think for one minute itâs going to be me. Now fix it.â
She killed the connection without another word.
