"What are you?""That was gonna be my question." Willie glanced again at the other man's clothes, at the face. His initial impression had been correct. This was the man in the portrait at Collinwood. He was afraid he already had the answer. "I'm a cop," he said, allowing another swallow of water. It wasn't exactly true, but it was close enough for government work.The other man frowned. "A what?"Oh, great. "A---" 'Policeman' wouldn't do either. "A member of an international law-enforcement team.""What are you doing ?""I'm on a manhunt."The other man drew in a sharp breath. "Who are you hunting?"Willie measured the other man's look. This was instructive. This man was afraid Willie might be hunting him. Well, well, Willie thought, things just got interesting."Jason McGuire.""Family of the Bride" by M.J. Reid: In 1912, Quentin and Magda return to Collinsport.
