So Talisent knew something about Spike Webb. Maybe they had questioned him using truth serum? Roger quickly dismissed the possibility. It made more sense that she knew about Spike and that's why they grabbed him in the first place. Roger Tango knew how to avoid giving away information when people were on fishing expeditions. Trying to pretend they knew a lot and saying a couple of obvious or easy to guess things that made it seem like they really had a clue. Talisent would have to give up a lot more before Roger would even admit he knew who Spike Webb was. He'd play it slow and act as dumb as he thought he could get away with. That was his plan whenever this sort of thing happened. The training manual advised agents to learn more than they gave away and get out "by whatever means possible." He needed to buy time. Finding out more from Talisent would at least do that and keeping her talking wasn't a problem...


As it turned out, the conversation with Talisent was wrapped up in under an hour. The men unstrapped him from the chair and lifted him up to his feet. When they let go, Roger fell to his knees and slumped forward onto his hands. With a quick jab, one of them shot another dose of yellow fluid into Roger's neck. He'd be unconscious in a few seconds. But before passing out, Roger fell forward onto the floor with one hand reaching inside his jacket pocket. He clicked the top of a ball-point pen twice, and then, was gone.
