Pitt shoved a packet in Shaw's breast pocket. "Your boarding pass and ticket. I fixed it so you have adjoining seats."
"But I'm under arrest as an enemy agent," said Shaw, his thoughts at a loss.
"The President owes me a favor." Pitt shrugged.
"Does he know what you're doing?"
"Not yet."
Shaw shook his head. "You're asking for trouble, setting me loose."
"I've been there before." Pitt held out his hand. "Don't forget, you promised me a backgammon lesson."
Shaw shook with both his hands. Then he held them up, displaying the steel bracelets. "Most aggravating, these things."
"Picking the lock should be child's play for a secret agent."
Shaw made a series of movements under the raincoat. Then he held up the cuffs, his hands free. "I'm a bit rusty. I used to do it much faster."
"James Bond would have been proud of you," Pitt said dryly.
"Bond?"
"Yes, I hear you two were quite close."
Shaw exhaled, his breath in a long sigh. "He exists only in fiction."
"Does he?"
Shaw shrugged, then stared at Pitt for a long moment. "Why are you doing this after the pain I've caused Heidi?"
"She loves you," Pitt said simply.
"What do you get out of it?"
"Nothing that will add to my bank account."
"Then why?"
"I enjoy doing things out of the ordinary."
Before Shaw could reply, Pitt had turned and mixed into the flowing crowd on the concourse.
The rain had stopped, and Pitt put down the Cobra's convertible top. He drove toward the lights of Manhattan that glowed ghostlike against the low-hanging clouds. The breeze whipped his hair, and he deeply inhaled the sweet fragrance of wet grass that rose from the fields beside the highway.
Pitt tightened his grip on the wheel, pressed the accelerator to the floor and watched the tachometer needle as it crept slowly into the red.
