“Do you think one of your agents was followed?”
Each of them was careful, having been trained like spies to use surveillance detection routes to ensure they were never followed to the meeting place, or home from it. “Unlikely, but anything is possible. I intend to find out.”
“Thomas is your second-in-command with the SCVC, correct?”
“Yeah.” He knew what she was getting at. “First Cooper is shot, now someone tries to kill Thomas.”
“Systematic assassination, but delivered by two different methods. Premeditated and calculated. Did the killer switch to a bomb to kill Thomas because he knows he failed to kill Cooper with the rifle? Or is it two different killers?”
Behavioral ‘tells’ of the criminal always showed up in the victim’s crime scene and method to deliver the crime. In this case, it seemed odd that one assassin would use two different methods, but like Liv pointed out, maybe the suspect had simply chosen the bomb in order to be sure he didn’t miss this time.
“Either way, someone is coming after my team. I’ve got to shut them down before they can harm anyone else.”
