The Third Option :: Flynn Vince
Страница: 207 из 267I'm going to run you through some paces, and if I see anyone following you, I'm gone.» Cameron pressed the red button on his phone and laughed. It was too easy. Rapp was going to walk right into the trap. The man had no idea they had Rielly.
THE VAN WAS stopped. They had pulled over on 23rd Street between the State Department and the Navy Bureau of Medicine. Dumond worked the keyboard of the laptop on his right while Rapp and Coleman watched. After a few seconds, the boyish Dumond looked at Rapp and said, «We weren't even close.»
«What do you mean?»
«He's not even in the city. Hell, he's not even in the county.»
«Where is he?»
«He's out by the bay. South of Annapolis.»
Rapp jumped up from the bench seat and looked over Dumond's shoulder. «Show me where the tower is.»
Dumond pointed to the screen. «Right here. By Mount Zion.»
Rapp squinted at the screen, trying to decide if this was a coincidence or not. Keeping his eyes on the map, Rapp asked, «You said you've got a log of calls he made for the last four months.»
«Yep.»
«Has he ever used this tower before?»
Dumond grabbed the printout and flipped through the pages. It took him twenty seconds to scan the entire list. When he was done, he looked up at Rapp and said, «This is the first time this tower has handled a call for him.»
Noticing that something was bothering Rapp, Coleman asked, «What are you seeing that I'm not?»
«My house is about two miles from there.» Rapp pointed to the screen.
«Hmmrn.» Coleman scratched his chin and looked at the map. «They could have taken Anna to a safe house out there.»
«Yeah, they could have.» Rapp opened the small door leading to the driver and said, «Take us out to two-fourteen. Let me know as soon as we cross three-oh-one.» Rapp closed the door and looked at Coleman. «Tell the boys we're going out to Maryland.» He quickly punched Stansfield's number into his phone. When Kennedy answered, he said, «How quickly can you get a surveillance chopper to take a look at my house?»
«I can scramble one out of Andrews. I'd say they could 'be there within ten or twenty minutes.»
«Good. Get them airborne on the double.»
«Mitch, what's going on?»
«I can't get into it right now. Get the chopper moving, and call me back.»

The small hangar sat on a secluded portion of the massive Andrews Air Force Base, just south and east of Washington, D.C.
