Riding up, I thought of comic retorts in colloquial Mandarin that could warn him away from harming me. I was the bird in the cage being brought to the cat. He would warn me off as well; a meeting of mutual understanding. Things did not have to get nasty.
My language was my only weapon now; thank the military for the immersion training and the agency for the graduate classes. I knew one misplaced word meant my death. I did not intend to provoke this killer.
In his receiving room I sat on a couch, uncomfortable. The cat sat with fingers laced eyeing me over the rim of rose-colored glasses. When he spoke in perfect English, I almost pissed my pants.
Passed phase one Conklin; had you going eh? Nicest safe house you’ll ever see!
