"I did." She held his gaze. "And I'm breaking it. I'd like you to know I'm doing it deliberately."

He was silent for a moment. He was a patient man, and he looked at her now with an expression she could not read, something between respect and dismay.

"May I see the message?"

She handed him the phone.

He read it. His lips moved slightly on the last line. He scrolled up, then down, and she watched his thumb pause on the number.

"I don't recognize this."

"It's a private line."

"I can't verify it."

    "I did." She held his gaze. "And I'm breaking it. I'd like you to know I'm doing it deliberately."He was silent for a moment. He was a patient man, and he looked at her now with an expression she could not read, something between respect and dismay."May I see the message?"She handed him the phone.He read it. His lips moved slightly on the last line. He scrolled up, then down, and she watched his thumb pause on the number."I don't recognize this.""It's a private line.""I can't verify it.""Then call Marco.""I've tried." Dario's voice was low. "Twice. There's no signal on the northern road.""Then we don't know.""Signora. We don't.""And if it's real?"He did not answer."If it's real, and I don't go," Eve said, "then I've told Dimitri's father that I'm afraid of him. That his son's woman hides behind a locked door. He'll tell everyone he knows." She kept her voice level. "I won't be that. I won't be a kept woman who's too frightened to speak to a man in a garden.""No one thin

    She lowered the glasses and wrote in a small notebook.0618. Valentino and M. depart. Seven cars. Heading north on A1."Livorno," her second said at her shoulder. He had come up the stairs without a sound. He took the stool beside her and held out a folded paper. "As you predicted.""Antonio's work.""His people. The port, the bank. A two-hour operation, Mikhailov's contact says." He spoke quietly. "Valentino will be on that dock until at least noon.""And then?""A night. Perhaps two. He'll need to stay for the lawyers.""Good."She drank her tea. It was strong and lukewarm and bitter. Below, the last of the cars turned the corner, and the street went quiet.The building was still guarded. She counted from the roof: twelve men around the perimeter, all in plain clothes, all alert. There was one at the main entrance, one at the garage ramp, two at the rear. They were professionals. They were looking for a frontal assault, for a truck bomb, for a team in a van.They were not looking fo

    Dimitri said nothing. He looked at the folder, the grain of the desk, the coffee gone cold.He had meant never to keep her out of his decisions. This was not a decision. It was a distance."One night," he said."One night. Back by morning.""And your men?""Twelve around the building. Another four inside. I'll leave Dario in charge." Marco held his eyes. "He's good, Boss."Dimitri exhaled."I'll tell her," he said....EVE'S POVShe heard him coming down the corridor.She knew the sound of his steps, the length of them, the pause at the bedroom door. She was standing at the window in a robe with her coffee, watching the sun come up over the dome of a church she had never learned the name of, and she turned before he said a word."You're going," she said."How do you know?""You're wearing the suit you wear for bad days."He closed the door behind him. His face was composed, but she could see the tightness at the jaw, the hours in his eyes. He crossed the room and stopped in front of h

    "I've slept.""In a chair.""A good chair."She laughed. It came out cracked and soft and real, and he smiled in answer, a rare, tired smile that took years off his face.She lay down. He lay beside her, on the narrow bunk, with his arm across her waist and his chin against her hair. The hull creaked. Somewhere above them, boots moved on the deck....DANTE'S POVHe woke before dawn.The cabin was gray. The round window showed a strip of sky the color of ash. Isabella lay curled against him, one hand tucked under her cheek, breathing slowly. He lay still for a while and watched her face.She is safe, he told himself.It was only partly true. He knew that. Somewhere behind them, her father was tearing through the villa. Somewhere ahead, in a dozen cities, men and women who had once paid him were deciding what his death should look like. And somewhere in between, the thing that had bothered him for days, small and cold and persistent, was still turning over.Whoever kept the antidote ke

    "What did he say?" she asked."That he'd see what he could do.""And?""He did." Dante's voice was rough. "The pills in the first week were his. A supply he found. The doctor on the phone that night was his. The reversal compound, the one that cured you, that was his too. He wouldn't tell me where it came from.""Dimitri did that.""Yes.""For me.""I think so."She pressed her fingers against her mouth. She did not know what she felt. It was a great, tangled, formless thing, with gratitude at the center of it, and something older underneath that she did not want to look at."Why?" she whispered. "He never wanted me.""I don't know.""He never....""Isabella." Dante said it quietly. "I don't know why. I only know he did it."She was silent. The sea went on moving."You hate him," she said at last."Yes.""And you called him anyway.""Yes.""What did it cost you?"He did not answer."Dante.""He asked for a price.""What price?"For a long moment he said nothing at all. The stars wheel

    "We believe so.""Then she is a very interesting woman," the Director said. "She has lived eight years inside a rival's experiment. She has been taken out of it whole. I want to know everything she knows. Where she goes. Whom she trusts. What she remembers.""Of the pills?""Of everything."Catherine nodded slowly. She did not ask why. She had learned, a long time ago, that the Director's questions were not requests for information. They were declarations of interest, and the person at the other end of one did not ask what the interest was."Find her," the Director said.The gray screen went black.One by one, the others followed.Catherine sat alone in the silent room with her cold tea and the dead monitors. A thin gray light had begun to show at the edge of the blackout shade. Somewhere beyond it, Rome was waking, with its bells and its buses and its slow, ancient indifference.She picked up her phone."It's me," she said, when it was answered. "Begin the watch.
