is: If you pursue this it will not turn out well for you.” She abruptly rose.

“Thank you for coming to see me. I doubt we will meet again.” Claire Jericho

turned and left.

 

Chapter 52

 

KNOX EXCLAIMED, “I have never met a bigger bitch in my life. The crap that came

out of her mouth? And the arrogance? I wanted to kick the shit out of her. And

she’s working for our side?” They were sitting in his car in the parking lot of

Building Q, the lights of the facility the only thing breaking the darkness. “I

just wanted to shoot her,” said Puller quietly.

 

He stared up at the façade of the old building and then gazed at the high fence

and armed gate. “You noticed they didn’t let us see anything that was going on

in there?” “I guess they’d say we weren’t cleared for it.” “I would bet that few

people are.” “So the real purpose of her wanting to see you was to tell you to

back the hell off or it will not turn out so well for us,” said Knox. “I don’t

think she left any possibility of misinterpretation.” “And are you going to back

off?” “What do you think?” She smiled. “So what’s our next step?” “Finding

Paul.” He put the car in gear and drove out of the lot. They headed out of Fort

Monroe.

 

There were no other cars about at this time of night. Across the water were Fort

Wool and Naval Station Norfolk.
