Black was looking over a lease document for a new occupant directly downstairs from him.
“May I come in?”
Black looked up, and gestured him to the chair on the other side of his desk.
“Of course.”
The man sat. Black put the document to one side. The man before him was small, compact, wearing a long herringbone greatcoat. Smart. Dark hair flecked with grey, shaved above the ears. Salt-and-pepper moustache. Slight tan. Sharp, inquisitive eyes.
“Can I help you?”
“That was an impressive performance. Both in America and at Westcoates Hall.”
Black tensed.
“Yes?”
“You destroyed the biggest and most sophisticated child trafficking organisation we’ve ever come up against. And you’re just one man. How did you do that?”
“Lucky, I suppose. Who are you?”
“Someone interested in Adam Black’s career.”
“I don’t understand.”
“I’m part of a department that works closely with the government. The secret part of the government, that is.”
“I still don’t understand.”
“Why do you think our American friends let you leave for Britain so quickly. You killed what… ten men? Even the Americans aren’t that liberal.”
Black said nothing.
“We told the Americans we wanted you back.”
“What do you want from me?”
The man gave a wintry grin. “Isn’t it obvious? We want you to work for us, Captain Black.”
