He turned into one of the scenic overlooks on the parkway and look down at the Potomac River. He searched his cell phone until he found what he wanted. When he had been in London in the parking garage, he’d sent Jedidiah Jones the coordinates for the gold. He’d also sent a backup copy to his own private phone.
Jedidiah Jones was not the only one who knew where the sixty billion in bullion was stashed.
His phone rang again.
“Listen,” Showers said in a serious voice, “I really do want you to show up tomorrow at the airport. I’ll pay for dinner if you want. Just don’t go AWOL on me.”
“The last time we met, you stuck me with the bill,” he said.
“Trust me, it will be worth your while. See you tomorrow, and don’t worry, you’re not my boyfriend.”
“And you’re not my girlfriend,” he said. “But I have a question. You got some time off coming, right?”
“They’re forcing me to take a month off.”
“I’m thinking about going on a trip.”
“Where in the world are you going now?”
“Mountain climbing.”
