“This plan is outrageous.”

“You say that a lot, Beck.” Manny paced, fists on hips. “But fortune favors the brave.”

“The bold.”

“Whatever, shut up. Rafael gets out Friday. Tomorrow is Wednesday. We need action. Also, sorry for saying shut up.”

She sat in the corner of the room, computer in her lap. She’d prefer to sit on the comfortable bed, but with another man in the room? With Manuel Martinez fuming mere feet from her? Absolutely not. Professional government agent or not, her mother would have a heart attack.

But, she supposed, this was superior to the previous night’s work station—cramped in her car and hoping her partner hadn’t been killed. At least in a hotel, even a dingy one, she didn’t have to pee in the dark with a flashlight. It wasn’t just that the plan was outrageous, but so too was everything else. On Monday she’d been securing servers and updating encryption technology on company phones, pleased with her career and not discontent with her personal life. Now she sat on thin carpet she was positive hadn’t been recently vacuumed, in a small town hours from her apartment, working with a man whose modus operandi bordered on reckless to put it mildly, chasing a dangerous fugitive on a mission the FBI and NSA would disavow, entirely alone…

The federal government’s predilection for avoiding humiliation could easily cost her life, and her superiors wouldn’t blink twice.

Plus, she was hungry. It was ten o’clock and they’d skipped dinner.

“This won’t work,” she said.

“Why not?”

“He’ll recognize you.”

“Rafael and I never met. Only occupied the same room a couple times. And I kept my head shaved then.”

On screen she had prisoner transfer paperwork displayed. It would take her an hour, and constitute a felony. Much depended on the strength of their Supremacy License.

She said, “Special Agent Weaver won’t approve of you going undercover inside a level five state prison. Rafael shouldn’t even be there, considering his sentencing. Another option, we can hold his release and interrogate him.”

“Dios mio, Beck, think about it. Rafael got picked up over a year ago, only the police didn’t realize who they had. They charged his alias Fidel Arroyo with minor crimes unaware they should be prosecuting Rafael García for major. That’s why he pled guilty instead of bringing the force of his family’s power into the courtroom—to avoid suspicion, to keep his alias intact, and to get out of jail quickly. So Catalina bided her time, waiting for Fidel Arroyo to be released, thinking they had the government fooled. If we delay his release she’ll realize we know that Fidel is really Rafael, her brother. She’ll vanish.”

“She will anyway.”

“Not till Saturday. This is still a game to her. At the moment she’s not a direct threat to America and she knows we don’t want a national incident. There’s a reason we don’t have the Palace surrounded with two hundred officers, sí? But if we hold her brother hostage it sends a signal that we mean business. And that is what JFIC is for, arresting high-profile fugitives covertly without the government having to get its hands dirty.
