understand is why you didn’t just shoot me and be done with it.”
Good question. Sean crossed his arms, waiting. He knew there was no way she’d let this man take out so many innocent civilians. For now, he’d follow along with her plan, whatever it might be.
Goggling at her, the informant shook his head. “Are you crazy or what?”
“No, I’m not crazy. But I’m not giving you the info. So, either detonate your explosives, or not. I don’t care either way.”
The lie in her voice was plain to Sean, but the stranger didn’t know her. Beginning to sweat, he looked at Sean.
“Talk some sense into her, man. You don’t want all these people to die.”
That remark told Sean that Natalie’s plan would work. The informant didn’t want to be blown to bits either.
“I’m guessing you don’t want to die either,” he said. “Come on, Natalie. Let’s get out of here.”
Together, they walked toward the exit. At the door, Natalie turned and faced the still-stunned man. “Tell whoever sent you that I won’t be bullied.”
The stranger followed them outside to the back alley, muttering under his breath. “Come on, man, they’re going to kill me.”
Sean shrugged. “Better than killing yourself. Go crawl back into whatever hole you came from.”
“Wait.” Natalie stepped forward. “Are those even real explosives?”
The man shrugged. “I don’t know. They gave me six hundred pounds to put this thing on. Promised me another grand if I brought them the info.”
“Where?” Sean demanded. “When and where were you supposed to meet them?”
Sweat rolling down his face, the man blurted out an address.
“I know the area,” Natalie said. “Bad part of town.”
“Of course.”
“I don’t get it,” Natalie continued. “They only ask for the coded message. What good will it do them?”
“Maybe the Hungarian has his own code specialists.”
Her eyes went wide. “Of course,” she breathed. “That’s why he doesn’t need me. He must have already broken the code.”
