Оглавление“Hi, Tom. Good of you to come.”
It was the voice from his mysterious phone calls, now coming from a woman sitting in an armchair.
“How did you get in here?” Surprise gave way to anger, and Tom felt distinctly vulnerable, with nothing but a towel around his waist and an unknown woman in his hotel room.
She shrugged. “Hotel-room doors are good. But manageable.”
“Then how about you manage it again and get the hell out?”
She laughed; then her eyes hardened. “You don’t really want me to do that, Tom. You want me to tell you why you’re here and what you’ve gotten yourself into. You’ll want to get dressed, however. You’ll find a Glock nine millimeter in your overnight bag. Standard Bureau issue. I knew you hadn’t traveled with one.”
He flipped open the travel bag, and sure enough, a black handgun lay atop his clothes. Hefting it, he popped out the clip and counted off twelve rounds. Although he knew nothing about her, she apparently knew a great deal about him. As a former undercover agent, that was not a situation he found palatable. But she didn’t seem stupid enough to arm a would-be opponent. Which meant she didn’t see him as an opponent….
“So why am I here?”
