Moving Target Read Online Free PDF

answered. Alkash, who was present when her family was taken out, is certain he recognized her voice. We followed the cell phone's signal and believe it came from a small antique shop in that town."
    For the first time in two years, Yegor felt a stirring in his gut. He would like to put a bullet into the head of the bitch himself. She'd identified his son, Dmitry, as her family's killer and put Dmitry behind bars for a day before Yegor had paid the exorbitant bail bond. She was also set to testify with damning evidence that could send his son to prison.
    That would never do.
    Yegor stepped into his Gucci loafers. "Do we have operatives close enough to get to her?"
    "One in Phoenix, four hours from the town where she is hiding." A pleased look came into Piterskij's eyes. "Lev is on his way as we speak."
    A good fuck and the good news picked up Yegor's spirits immensely. They would take out this Anistana King before she even testified. Charges dismissed. No one had the depth of information that the woman had.
    Anistana King was their final target.

CHAPTER THREE
    Daniel Parker ground his teeth and clenched the steering wheel of his black SUV with one fist while he pushed his other hand through his hair.
    Goddamnit . Ani knew better. After two years she'd screwed up, and just a few days before the trial.
    Jesus Christ .
    He slammed his palm on the steering wheel as he sped down the I-10 freeway from Phoenix. The darkness was only illuminated by his headlights and the occasional lights of passing cars. The speed limit was seventy-five but his speedometer was pushing ninety.

    At least the local cops had Ani. First call he'd made after talking with Ani was to the Bisbee Police Department. Not much later, an officer called back. They'd had three units, a car on each side of the three-sided end building, securing it. The cop said Ani was safe and they were waiting on orders from him. Daniel told the officer to take her to the police department and keep her under tight guard until he arrived.
    Daniel had made it through Tucson and was closing in on Benson, but that was still a good fifty miles from where Ani was.
    An hour away.
    The Russian Mafia was loaded with former KGB operatives as well as former Soviet military intelligence, GRU, operatives. They had people employed everywhere, and he had no doubt they had informants at the telephone company.
    If Ani's call did get the Russians' attention there was a chance their own contacts in Tucson or Phoenix could get to the scene long before he did. A sniper could've taken her out the moment she walked out of the police cruiser to head into the department headquarters. The Russians wouldn't let any cops surrounding her stand in the way. No, they'd be picked off one by one.
    The Russians were absolutely ruthless.
    He hadn't told Ani, but the Russians had recently stepped up the search for her by plastering her picture all over the Internet, claiming she was a missing "heiress" and offering an obscene reward for her recovery. The info had passed from person to person by many who forwarded e-mail chain letters.
    As soon as the Russians found her, they'd put a bullet in her head.
    No way in hell was that going to happen. It went beyond what drove him to protect those he was assigned to.
    When he was in the Judicial Security Division of the U.S. Marshals Service, he'd failed a judge whose courtroom he'd been assigned to. If he hadn't been distracted . . . If he'd seen the gun . . . If he could have thrown himself in the way . . .
    He hadn't gotten to Judge Moore fast enough—but he wasn't about to let it happen again.
    He wouldn't lose Ani.
    After Daniel went on a leave of absence, a colleague had recommended Daniel to WITSEC, and he had transferred to the program to be trained as an Inspector, a Deputy Marshal who had the responsibility of keeping in touch with the witnesses he'd been assigned to and making sure they stuck to the rules and didn't break their contracts.
    Most of the people in
