Angelina was sitting up in bed, her face smooth and her hands folded on the covers in front of her. If she did turn out to be the brains of the operation I didnt want her slipping away. I didnt think they would use it on me except as a last resort. I imagined rather than heard the gurgle behind me as the ship sank gently to the bottom. There was no place I could go that would be better situated for the chase than Cittanuvo. There were tools, gadgets and a good deal of money in my quarters that would come in very handy on this job.
