<P>Jaime had one last thought before blacking out.
<P>
<P>I'm hallucinating.

<P>
<P>Gunther glared inside the holding cells from the shadows.
<P>
<P>Two of them.
<P>
<P>Alex Jacobson and the pilot, Jock. Both unconscious in one of the cells.
<P>
<P>A troop walked over to Gunther. "Figures they'd try something stupid, huh, Agent?"
<P>
<P>Gunther only acknowledged the statement with a stiff tightening of muscles. He didn't change his fixated glance. He didn't speak. Just stood and stared, breathing heavily in the shadows.
<P>
<P>"Word is we just got the third one. Reyes. Caught him on a plane departing from the airport. Almost missed him, too. Right on time. Those bugs we planted really worked."
<P>
<P>Gunther did not move.
<P>
<P>The guard looked at the agent, raised one eyebrow, shrugged, and then walked away.
<P>
<P>Gunther Hermann was losing himself.
<P>

<P>
<P>Static. For a long while, there was nothing but static. After a moment, Dominic thought he heard rustling in the background. Then voices. Finally, the man on the other end of the line returned.
