[preamble omitted]
…B and C were together in bed in the middle of the night when the news broke about a horrible tragedy that killed hundreds of people. Apparently B, instead of being in shock about the whole thing decided this would be the perfect opportunity to have sex with C. There are some gaps in some parts of P's story and this was one of them. Not so much a gap, but one time she was told by B that C had said no and B forced her. A different time, B said C thought it was amazing to have sex during the middle of the night.
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.
