The pilots put the bird into a hover fifty feet above the dark water of the Chesapeake, and the technician in back went to work. Using an array of high-resolution and IR thermal imaging cameras, he began to survey the target.
PETER CAMERON WALKED back into the house and sat down on the couch near Rielly. With phone in hand and a genuine grin on his bearded face, he said, «I've got some good news and some bad news. Which one do you want first?»
«The bad.»
«Mitch isn't going to make it tonight, but he will be here bright and early in the morning.»
«What time?»
«Around seven.»
Rielly seemed a little dejected. She picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. It was approaching midnight, and she was tired. «I'm going to bed, then.» Rielly stood. «I assume none of your men is upstairs.»
«No. They're all down here. You will have complete privacy.»
«Thank you.» Rielly left the room, and Cameron followed her to the foot of the stairs.
«I'm going to have to leave for a little bit, but I'll be back before you get up.»
«All right.» Rielly said good night and went upstairs.
Cameron watched her ascend the staircase and admired her figure. Duser approached and did the same. When Rielly closed the door to the bedroom, Duser said, «She's got a nice ass.»
Cameron frowned and jerked his head for Duser to follow him. The two men stepped out onto the front porch. In a hushed voice, Cameron said, «Keep your head in the game, and don't even think about touching her.»
«Relax. She's going to be dead in the morning. What do you care?»
«Just keep your fucking hands off her, all right? Her boyfriend is going to be out here early, and I need you to concentrate on matters at hand.» Pointing to the vehicles in the driveway, he said, «The cars have to be moved.»
«Where?»
«I don't know, but they can't be here when he arrives.»
Duser nodded. «I'll figure something out. I need to send someone on a coffee and food run.»
Cameron wasn't sure what coffee and food had to do with moving the cars, so he ignored the comment and said, «I have to go back into the city to grab a few things. It should only take me a couple hours.» He checked his watch. «I'll be back around two. Three at the latest, all right?»
«Yeah.
