“I need to relocate Sullivan Rivers immediately.”

“You’ve heard, then?”

“Heard what?”

“They found Periscope about an hour ago.”

“Cause of death?” I asked.

“Unknown. The medical examiner is working on it now.”

“She said she was already dead.”

“Poison?”

“Definitely a possibility.”

“Where do you want to go?” Typhon asked.

“The safest place you can find.”

“Got it. I’ll arrange transport.”

“This isn’t just about me wanting to protect Sullivan. Whatever she knows, whether aware of it or not, is enough that they’ll not stop until they silence her.”

“Understood.”

“I appreciate this, sir.”

“Just remember this when it’s your turn.”

I shook my head. “No way in hell I’d take your job, Marras.”

“You’re a smarter man than I was. Oh, and for the time being, Orion is your handler.”

It had been so long since I’d heard anyone use Gus’ official code name that I’d forgotten it.

“And you’re inactive.”

If I had my say, I’d remain that way permanently, not that I’d initiate that dialogue now. All I cared about presently was getting Sullivan somewhere where Weber couldn’t get his hands on her.

“Typhon’s arranged for transport,” I told Gus when I returned to the room after ending the call.

“Copy that.”

“He relayed more news.”

Both Con and Tag raised their heads.

“Periscope?” Gus asked.

“They found her about an hour ago.”

“COD?” he asked.

“Unknown.” I turned to Con again. “I want Ashcroft locked up tighter than Vauxhall Cross before I’ll even consider returning.”

“Understood.”
