“Baltimore area.”

“Their loss.”

Mycah had to smile. This woman was very smooth. She could imagine others falling into her web. “I heard you say you’d been with DWB. What part of Africa were you in?”

“All up and down the east coast, what they call the Horn of Africa. We went out to the Seychelles and Mauritius, too. Wherever help was needed.”

“I admire that you did that. You could have stayed here and made probably six times what you got there.”
