«Son's T-shirt.» Liz nodded while she thought of a retort. «That's a really funny one, Michael. Have you been working on it all morning?»
«Nope.» He grinned. «I thought of it right here on the spot. Completely impromptu.»
«Well, none of the neighbors seemed to mind it when I took Duke for a walk around the block earlier.»
«You took Duke for a walk in that T-shirt?» The smile was gone.
Liz stared at him for a while and then smiled. «No, I didn't, but if you keep giving me shit about it, I might.»
Michael nodded. «You win. But I don't think it's a good idea for you to keep raiding the baby shower presents. If someone sees you wearing the kid's clothes, they'll really drink you've lost it.»
Liz smiled. «Another funny one. Let me check my e-mail, and then we'll go.»
She hit the AOL icon, and the computer started the dial-up. After a series of squeals and whistles, the laptop beeped and the computer announced, «You've got mail.» Liz clicked on the mailbox icon, and a second later the electronic message appeared on her screen.
Dear Liz,
I hope all is well. I need you and Michael to do me a favor; and please don't ask any questions. Call Bella at the cottage, and tell her you really need to talk to her.
Whatever you do, don't mention my involvement or name over the phone. Something has gone wrong, and I need her to stay with you for a few days. When she gets to your house, you can tell her that I'm safe, that I apologize, and I will explain everything when I get home. Under no circumstance are you to let her go back to the cottage or her apartment. Tell Michael to exercise caution and call Scott C. if he needs help.
Sincerely, Syracuse
P. S. I know all about Seamus, Michael, and Scott C.
She could barely believe what she was reading. Bella was Annabella Rielly, her best friend, and Syracuse had to be Anna's boyfriend, Mitch Rapp. She feared she might know who Scott C. was, and if she was right, just how in the hell did Mitch Rapp know about that dreaded chapter in her family's history? Liz looked up from the screen in disbelief, her perfect Saturday afternoon ruined.
«Honey, I think you'd better take a look at this.»

Peter Cameron sat in one of the plush leather seats of the brand-new Cessna 750 Citation X executive jet. The plane could be configured to carry up to twelve passengers, but for this trip there were only four, not counting the pilots. A woman and two men were sitting at a small table studying maps and photographs.
