“I requested your reassignment,” he clarified.
In the middle of the night? Had he awakened Bill Monroe? Or someone at FBI headquarters? Normally a transfer didn’t happen instantaneously, and the idea that this one had left her feeling uncertain.
Her eyes narrowed. “Why would you do that?” It didn’t surprise her that he had pull, but that he would use it to get her transferred did. What could be that urgent? Then she replayed everything in her head a second time. “You said there’s been a development. What kind?”
His eyes met hers, but there was a disconnect in them that hadn’t been there earlier tonight. A sense that he saw her, but that he was no longer emotionally involved with her on a human level.
So it hadn’t been concern for her after all. She was caught off guard by the level of her disappointment.
“I’ll fill you in on the plane. Right now you need to get cleaned up and packed.”
Tightening her arms, she lifted her chin. “I think you need to know that I may have misled you somewhat about my ability to recognize the voice.”
“That has nothing to do with the reason I made the request.”
“Then what does?”
“Whoever wants you dead…If they sent someone after you once, they may do it again. If they do, we’ve got a shot at getting to them before…” Mark didn’t finish the thought.
Why not finish it? What exactly had happened? And then the last pieces fell into place.
“It’s happened, hasn’t it?”
“Maybe. We’re waiting for the FBI lab to make the confirmation. Now get dressed.”
Beth shoved the gun into her waistband. At least now she knew why he hadn’t finished his earlier statement. And the reason for the disconnect in his eyes. She had suddenly become a means to an end. An instrument he could use. That he could exploit.
She jerked off the mask, dropped it on the pile of rubble. “So you want to use me as bait?”
His mouth tightened. “Sweetheart, you are bait. I can’t change that. But I fully intend to take advantage of it.”
