THERE WAS ALWAYS something intimidating1 about meeting Charles Danko in person. Even at a fancy place like the Hunt-ington Hotel in San Francisco. Danko fit in anywhere. He was wearing a tweed jacket, pinstriped shirt, and a rep tie.

There was a girl with him, pretty, with a tangle2 of bright red hair. He always liked to keep you off guard. Who is she?

Mal had been told to wear a suit jacket and even a tie, if he could dig one up. He had, and he found it kind of funny - bright red with tiny bugles3 in the design.

Danko stood rather formally and shook Mal's hand, just another of his odd off-putting gestures. He waved a hand around the dining room. "Could there be a safer place for us to meet? My Gawd, the Huntington!"

He looked at the girl and they both laughed, but he didn't introduce her.

"Ricin," Malcolm said, "it's brilliant. What a great day - we got Bengosian! We can do so much damage here. Hell, we could wipe out this capitalist den4 in about a minute flat. Go over to the Mark and take out another hundred rich blood-suckers. Take the trolley5 and spring death on anybody we passed."

"Yes, especially because I figured how to make it as a concentrate."

Malcolm nodded, but he looked nervous. "I thought this was about G-8?"

Danko looked at the girl again. They shared condescend-ing smiles. Who the hell is she? What does she know?

"Your focus is too narrow, Mal. We've talked about that before. More than anything else, this is about terrifying people. And we're going to scare them, believe me. Ricin will do the trick. Makes anthrax look like something only farm animals should fret6 about."

He stared hard at Malcolm now. "You have a delivery sys-tem for me? For the ricin?"

Malcolm had stopped making eye contact. "Yeah."

"And more of your explosives?"

"We could blow the Huntington right off the map. The Mark, too." Malcolm finally allowed himself a sheepish smile. "All right, who is she?"

Danko threw back his head and laughed. "She's someone brilliant, just like you. She's a secret weapon. Let's leave it at that. Just another soldier," he said, then looked into the girl's eyes. "There's always another soldier, Malcolm. That's what should be scaring the hell out of everybody right now."
