getting that information coming along?"
Barrett clenched his teeth tighter. The check-ins were constant. Why had they hired him if they didn't trust him? "We're working on it."
"How much longer?" The voice sounded impatient.
"I think we'll have something soon. A couple of days more, a week tops. Probably sooner. The doctor has an impressive track record."
"For your sake, let us hope so."
The line went dead and Barrett contemplated throwing the phone away.
His caller was the one that had coordinated laying the trap in the first place. Why weren't they helping more?
His irritation mounting, he decided he didn't know and didn't want to know. Whatever the reason, it didn't matter. He was getting paid, and paid well, and he was going to get the chance to earn his reputation back.
Still agitated, he decided his next meeting could wait. It was Saturday night and time for some well-deserved relaxation. He hit the 1 on the speed dial as he continued to his car.

How goes it?
Well. Better than well.
How much longer?
A few months or less. There will be no doubt and Gillespie will no longer be an issue. Your candidate will step in soon with no competition. Although-
What?
I still have concerns about how badly he wants this. I believe I've stressed this before.
That's our concern not yours. You just make sure it happens. Now what about your agent?
Leave him to us.

Of course. My family is ready to help as always.
Until next time.

Americans. They were so full of themselves. Which was making what he planned so much easier than he had thought it would be. This family was too arrogant to realize that there was no way Yuri’s family would let them continue to prevail as leaders of the great plan. Gillespie’s family would get their candidate in place, simply because it served the families to have someone so pliable in a top US position. But they would lose everything else. And it wouldn't be much longer. His family would make their move soon.
His mind returned to the doctor. That had been a bit of an unexpected turn. But Yuri was an excellent chess player and always had contingency plans. Fortunately, for other reasons, he already had someone watching the doctor and had for some time now. He had explained this to the members of the little group they had formed for this operation and told them that they needn’t worry about this small hitch. He would handle it. Just like he and his family had been handling these, and issues like them, for centuries.

Ken Moore rubbed his tired eyes. He had finally gotten his distraught wife to lie down and at least try to rest. Their initial hopes of going public had only gotten them the barrage of prank calls and two ransom claims they had expected. Still, the lack of leads had worsened Karen's condition. She had already been to the hospital twice because of the toll the stress was taking. Knowing what Tommy knew about his mom, Ken didn't believe for a minute that he had just up and left. Especially not after they had gone public.
No. Someone had his son, or his son was already dead.
Rage surged through Ken at the thought. He wanted to kill somebody!
The knock at the door startled him. Looking at the clock he noticed it was nearly eleven, and the last thing he was expecting was visitors. He walked to the door, peering through the peep hole.
For a second his heart jumped with relief as he took in the tall, shadowed, lanky body of what could only be his son. Throwing open the door, he took a step forward to pull his son to him, only to stop as the blond-haired kid
