The Third Option :: Flynn Vince
Страница: 236 из 267The bedroom door was open. Rapp paused for just a second to allow Coleman to catch up, and then he came into the room in a low crouch. There was movement to his right, and he spun quickly to bring his Beretta to bear. Rapp had started to depress the trigger and then held off when he realized it was a cat leaping from the dresser to the floor. He looked around the room quickly. The bed was made and had several stacks of clothes lying on top of it. On the floor next to the bed was a suitcase. Rapp noted the suitcase and then moved on to the last room.
The study was also empty. It was not unexpected that Cameron was gone, but it was still disappointing. Rapp had just started to look at the desk when Dumond started chirping in his ear. «Is that beeping noise coming from a security system?»
«Yes,» replied Rapp.
«You'd better hurry up and tell me which service it is, or we're going to have some unwanted company.»
Rapp walked quickly back to the living room and approached the keypad next to the door. Rapp flipped open the panel and read the tiny writing. «It's Omega Security. Can you stop it?»
«No problem. Give me two minutes.»
Rapp turned around and grabbed his phone. Coleman, always thorough, was busy checking the closets. A second later, Rapp had Kennedy on the line. «He's not here. We set off his security alarm, but Marcus is going into the firm's system to deal with it.»
«Do you want me to send a team over?»
«Yeah, but be careful who you pick.»
«I will. Anything else?»
Rapp thought about the suitcase in the bedroom. «We might want to think about alerting the airports. I think he's getting ready to run.»
«That could be tricky.» «I know, but it's better than letting him get away.»

The George Washington University garage was located on the corner of H and 22nd. Like most parking garages, it was a large, blocky, nondescript mass of concrete. As Cameron pulled into the structure, he was busy thinking about how he would make it to the island. The easiest way would be to catch a flight to Miami and then, under an assumed name, fly into Nassau or Grand Bahama. From either place, he would have to catch a puddle jumper to the island. The last leg was a part of the journey he did not look forward to. He could also take a day and drive down to Florida. The time alone in the car might do him some good. It would help him to sort things out.
Cameron found a spot on the sixth floor and parked. As he got out of the car, he decided against driving to Florida. Too many things could go wrong.
