CHAPTER 17
ONE QUESTION? This is the agreement?
The handsome Russian, with bandaged and braced leg, eyed Smith warily from the bed, assuming a pale version of his formerly expansive smile.
“That is the agreement. Answer it to my satisfaction and we hand you over to your Langley buddies.”
“When can that be, what’s the time frame here?”
“When I have what I want. I can release you in ten minutes, if they still want you by then.”
“To your satisfaction is a loose term. What does that mean?”
“I must believe you.”
“I tell you the truth and you choose not to believe me. I have told you that I know nothing about a kidnapped child.”
“What kidnapped child? That is not common knowledge.”
“And I know nothing about a general Kuznetsov.”
“You came here to see the Lincoln Memorial?”
