«I'm sorry I haven't taken your calls, but a few things came up.»
«Like what?»
«I'd rather not talk about it over the phone.»
«Does that mean you'd like to meet in person?»
«Maybe.» Cameron hesitated. «If you can guarantee my safety.»
«That all depends on what you have to tell me.»
«Listen, when I was hired to do this, I had no idea who you were, and if I had, I would have never taken the job.»
«That makes me feel much better,» Rapp responded with sarcasm. «Who hired you?»
«I don't want to talk about it over the phone.»
«Then let's meet.»
Cameron leaned against his passenger door. «I would, but something tells me I might not leave that meeting alive.»
«That depends on what you have for me and how honest you are.»
«What I have for you is big! Really big! But you need to give me some assurances.»
«Like what?»
«That I'll live, and you'll leave me alone. That no one from the Agency ever knows who I am.»
«That might be a tough one.»
«Then you can forget it. I'll just disappear and take my chances that you'll never be able to track me down.»
«If I were you, I wouldn't feel so confident about that.»
Cameron looked up at the night sky and grinned. If only this fool knew who he was dealing with. «Listen, can't you see the position I'm in? I want some guarantees from you, or I'm better off on the run.»
There was a long pause, and then Rapp said, «All right, what is it that you need?»
«First thing… I meet you and only you. If I see anyone else around, I'm outta here. Second, I want your word that you will never reveal to anyone who I am.»
«That's going to depend on how good your info is.»
«It's good. It's going to blow you away.»
«Give me a hint.»
«The person who hired me is someone big here in town. Someone you'd never suspect.»
«If he's as big as you say he is, I'll get you a new name I and a new face.»
«I can take care of that on my own. I just want your word that you'll keep my identity to yourself and you won't try to kill me.»
«You have my word.»
Cameron checked his watch. He'd been on the line long enough. «Give me a number where I can reach you.»
Rapp hesitated for a second and then gave him the number to his mobile phone. «When are we going to meet?»
«Tomorrow morning around sunup. I'll call and give you instructions.
