States Senator William Henry Lee IV and his wife, Katharine Rule Lee,
drove away from their Georgetown house in their Chevrolet Suburban early
on a December morning. There was the promise of snow in the air.

THE RUN

Kate sipped coffee from an insulated mug and yawned.

"Tell me again why we drive this enormous fucking car," she said.

Will laughed.

"I keep forgetting you're not a politician," he said.

"We drive it because it is, by my reckoning, the least offensive motor
vehicle manufactured in the state of Georgia, and because Georgia car
workers and their union have shown the great wisdom to support your
husband's candidacy in two elections."

"Oh," she said.

"Now I remember."

"Good. I'm glad I won't have to put you in a home right before
Christmas." He looked in the rearview mirror and saw another Suburban
following them.

"They're there," he said.

"They're supposed to be."

"How did they know?"

"Because I called them last night and gave them our schedule."

The week before there had been a terrorist attack on CIA employees as
they had left the Agency's building in McLean, Virginia, and certain
Agency officials had been given personal protection for a time; Kate
Rule was the deputy director for Intelligence, chief of all the Cia's
analysts, and was, therefore, entitled.

"Oh," Will replied, sipping his own coffee and heading north toward
College Park, Maryland, and its airport.

"They're not going to follow us all the way to Georgia, are they?"

"I persuaded them that wouldn't be necessary."
