article in Forbes about her. Her photo, but the name was Alena Moore.”
“I’ll have someone look into it.”
“What else?” Alexander asked.
“What else…do we know?” Fischer was only momentarily confused by his succinct question. “There’s very little available information. So little that I suspect someone scrubbed her digital footprint, though the tech team would need to confirm that.”
Alexander nodded for Fischer to continue when he paused.
“We’re reaching out to contacts who might be able to access U.S. records that we cannot, but for now we know that Magdalena Moreau is well travel based on the stamps in the passport. Her occupation, and this is self-reported on her only social media site, is as a consultant.”
“Consulting on what?”
“That we don’t know, sir.”
“Find out.”
“We will. As I said, we’re reaching out to colleagues who should be able to access her financial information, and based on that, we will know who paid her, and therefore extrapolate what she was paid to do. We also have a contact in SCIP, who can tell us if she’s a member.”
He’d heard of SCIP—Strategic and Competitive Intelligence Professionals. It was supposedly a world-wide organization—a non-profit of all ridiculous things—but primarily American.
“Find out if she works for the U.S. government.”
Fischer hesitated. “If she’s employed by the C.I.A., it will take more than trading favors with an American colleague to access that information.”
“Find. Out.”
Alexander turned away, aware that his terse statements, and probably unreasonable demands, weren’t helping. Nor was the fact that he was still in his pajamas.
Her red pashmina lay on the table.
The urge to go to her, to check on her, was nearly overwhelming. He squashed it, even as he grabbed the scarf.
He needed to be dressed. He needed his cellphone.
He needed to find that burning cold anger once more, let it take the reins before his stupid heart made him do something idiotic—like demand the security team focus on her comfort rather than keeping her securely in custody.
“I’ll be back in twenty minutes.”
Fischer nodded, and Alexander stalked from the room. He took the stairs two at a time, and was breathing heavily by the time he reached his floor. He glanced back, wondering if he should run the stairs a few more times, let physical exertion work off some of the excess emotions.
No, that was a crutch. He would master his emotions, and deal with Alena—Magdalena—as if she were a stranger.
Not just a stranger. An adversary.
She was the enemy, and he would treat her appropriately.
