“Hey Selena, you know that story I promised to eventually give you? I heard you didn’t get much from the people at the funeral.”

“You gonna finally tell me about your history as CIA?”

“Don’t be silly. I’m crazy, not suicidal. If I was ex CIA why in the world would I tell you and have it be public knowledge? I have a good story for you though. We’ll leak just enough information to bait an assassin out of hiding. Don’t worry. They won’t go for you. You’re too high profile to care about and you don’t know enough to be a threat even with this kind of info leaked. Just enough for him to know his target is alive, and that somebody knows something they shouldn’t.”

“Oh I’m interested, Ms Leontine. I’ll drop by your place tomorrow for an interview.”

“Don’t forget my name will not make it into your paper. I’m an anonymous source, every single time. Got it?”

“Naturally.”

“Well, I should head off now. Nab you another time, Ms. Silverhawk.” Viana hangs up the phone with a smug expression on her face.
