remotely out of place was his son being so highly r anked in the FBI. The thing is Lisa was absolutely sure that Senator Cosby had never asked a soul to move Bruce into such a place. It was just one of those things that had been done to make sure the FBI remained in Senator Cosby ’ s favor. The strangest thing about Cosby was his relationship with John Fowler. Sure Fowler closed cases and the appearances Cosby put in with him popped Cosby ’ s ratings, but how did Cosby find Fowler? That was a mystery for another day.
Lisa ’ s gaze returned to the files. Cold fear gnawed at her stomach. If it was anyone else working the case, she wouldn ’ t worry about the connections that could be made to her. But it wasn ’ t anyone else, it was John Fowler. She shivered. It was like he was some kind of superhero. He wasn ’ t though.
“ Get a grip , girl . ” Lisa thought to herself. “ He ’ s just a man. He would have to know exactly where to look to even begin to unravel the web. ” She got up and walked over to the window. She loved the view, and tried to enjoy it. It was impossible to however. She glanced back at the files. No, as bad as it was that John Fowler was on the case, it was even worse as to the people that had been murdered. There was the connection, the connection that she feared Fowler would figure out. Maybe it would be best if Fowler could figure it out. If someone had linked everyone else together did that mean her life was in danger ? . . . she couldn ’ t think it. Had someone finally figured out what had happened all those years ago? No, impossible! She noticed she was biting her fingernail. She yanked down her hand angrily. She hadn ’ t done that in years. Not since she had known Beth.
Well there it was. Beth. She hadn ’ t thought of her in years. She really couldn ’ t be surprised that the memories of Beth came back to her now. Here was everyone else ’ s picture in front of her, what could she expect ? She was the only one missing from the group. Beth George . . . was this ghost finally coming back to haunt her? Tears came to Lisa ’ s eyes. If someone saw her they would think the tears were ones of sorrow. They weren ’ t. They were tears of fear s that her life was about to come tumbling down around her and there wasn ’ t one thing she could do to stop it.
Chapter 20
Agent McDonald sat down in his office in the security center. He was looking over all of the files he had gotten for Lisa. As he examined them he could find no connection between any of the mourners or soldier that had died.
He placed his head in his hands and thought about Lisa screaming at him. He had become enamored with “ Silk ” . Luke had come up with that codename and the other agents all agreed. The f irst l ady loved the name. Agent McDonald had never felt like this before in his life. Lisa was in his every thought and dream.
Agent McDonald picked up the receiver on the phone and placed a call. He had never met anyone in the group that helped the f irst l ady with her problems. They always referred to her as Silk so there could be reasonable deniability.
“ Silk would like the case we discussed earlier out of the current agent ’ s hands. ” He listened to the person on the other end. “ I do not know why. A ll I know is that is her wish. ” He listened for a second and responded. “ Thank you. ” He paused. “ How good a relationship do you have with Senator Cosby ? ” He listened for a minute. “ I see. D oes anyone we know have a good relationship with the senator ? ” McDonald listened and responded. “ Okay, I will take care of it myself then.
