Today's Blind Items - Two Summers - Part Two
The middle of the night sex was the beginning of the end of the relationship between B & C. At that point, he began to pull back. He was trying to lay low and talked about moving to a different country to see what that was like. It was very hard to keep a low profile because of who C was. The press was becoming more interested at a time when B was really sweating his involvement in that tragic event. P isn't sure if he provided money and his expertise, or was even more deeply involved. From what she was told and pieced together, P thinks that B was the person who was the day to day manager of the operation, but probably not the person who initially conceived of the idea.
For her part, C couldn't understand why B was pulling away when C had done nothing but show unconditional love and support and ready to make a permanent commitment. Slowly, C began digging into B a little more. Why would he disappear for a few nights without any warning, and while gone, not be in touch. P doesn't know much about things from C's perspective because all of her knowledge comes from what B told her. Apparently C suspected B was cheating or already had a wife and family in one of the many countries he was always traveling to. This caused C to use her connections to dig. This went on for many months. Around Easter that year, the couple had a very big fight about what he had been doing and then at the beginning of May, there was another argument where she confronted him about things she had discovered. B decided to publicly break with C so she would stop trying to look into his past and what he was doing when away from his normal profession. It didn't work. Instead, C reached out to a friend of a friend who put her in touch with someone who knew everyone in the Middle East. That person connected C to someone. P doesn't know who it was. B would always tell P that C found out from someone what exactly happened. Maybe an intelligence agent. Maybe someone who knew about the operation. All B knew was that C called him and told him she knew and that she was deciding what to do. That hesitation because of her love of B cost C. If she had gone right away to the media or police or anything, it would not have given B enough time to put a plan in place. Compared to the plan of the previous summer, this was a piece of cake. Those are the words he told P. B said, "it was a piece of cake." It took two bribes and a spiked drink and a passerby with a strobe light. Done and done. P said B was cold and very matter of fact about what he had done. It was time to pick up and start a new life. The problem was he was not given that chance and for a decade had to play a role he hated. That hate grew. It was at the peak of that hate that P came into his life. He released that hate on P and told his stories. P was miserable. She often thought she wouldn't make it out alive, but had powerful protectors that B would never cross.
