Khachmaz, Azerbaijan

“What is it, Arisha?” Stephen was worried. He looked at the facility.

Arisha realized he thought something was wrong with the mission–and that she was being foolish.

“No. Not at all. Just something I need to resolve when we’re done. I’ll need to go to Sofia.”

Stoyan was at her side instantly, “What is wrong? What has happened?”

Stephen tilted his head. He also wanted to know what had made Arisha go white as a sheet. The woman was, by and large, unflappable.

“One of my colleagues, Dedov…he has been tracing my steps over the past few articles. He thinks I have found a big story and am using my work as a travel reporter to cover my movements.” Arisha hung her head. “The funny thing is, it’s true.” She gave a humorless laugh.

“You’re worried he’ll expose you?” Irina asked.

“No. I can get a new job if I need to. I am worried he will learn what happened in that facility. Dedov is always looking for a way to get rich quickly. He would sell the information to anyone who would buy it, and then you’d have companies and countries descending on Bulgaria, searching out Wechselbalg. I can’t let him find what he’s after, but he can always sniff out a lie.”

“Maybe you tell him the truth about where Emeric Carre is, and the problem will solve itself,” Jennifer murmured.

Stephen tried not to laugh. “We will, of course, take care of this soon.”

“Yes. Thank you.” Arisha nodded down the hill, to where the factory poked out of the snow-covered ground. “This is more urgent. I just panicked.”

“After what Filip did, selling us out to Hugo, I’m not surprised,” Stephen told her.

Stoyan growled softly. Part of him still could not believe that Filip was dead. He could hardly believe how much damage a selfish person could cause. Filip, blinded by his own self-interest, had nearly caused the deaths of hundreds.

He would not let anyone do the same again.

He leaned close to Arisha as they descended the hill toward the factory. “I will come with you to Bulgaria to deal with this Dedov.”

Arisha smiled at Stoyan, “Thank you. Although…if he is following the trail of what I found, is it wise for you to be around?”

“I hadn’t thought of that.” Stoyan frowned. “What if—”

They reached the gate, and he broke off as Jennifer swiped her access badge and the gates started to slide open with a screech.

Guards poured out of the building as the gates opened, running for the gate with their guns half-raised and yelling for the intruders to halt. Jennifer and the rest stood patiently until they arrived.

“Hello,” Jennifer began pleasantly when they stopped moving. “I need to speak to the administrator, please.”

The guards exchanged a look. This was not, after all, how break-ins were expected to go.

“Immediately,” Jennifer continued, trying to sound bored. “If you would.”

“I, uh...” One of the guards toward the back straightened up. “I’ll go tell him. Who should I say you are?”

“Chief Administrator Zhang,” Jennifer informed him.
