"My brother, Muri, was one of Firebrand's original members," he replied. "I don't know what happened to him. He phoned me one day to tell me that he had discovered something serious, that he needed to go away for a while but he would come back for me...three days later Alexey turns up at my door and says that my brother has 'retired' from the company and requested that I take his place. I needed a job and I didn't want to let my brother down."<br/><br/>"I've heard that term before," Petra said, leaning close enough to Skylar that only she could hear. "Its CIA terminology. I can't be sure but I fear Muri is dead, and what odds someone in the Inner Circle murdered him?"
