Our eyes met across the room. Goren had the nerve to smile at me. I couldn't believe Captain Deakins was buying this insanity.
Deakins raised his eyebrows. "Are you okay with this, Eames?"
No, but when did that ever matter? "Yes, sir. We know Henry Talbott is attracted to... um..."
"...to petite women," Goren said. "Like Eames. If we give him an opportunity he'll come on to her."
I resisted the urge to shudder; even so, I still felt gooseflesh rise on my arms.
"And this helps us how?" the captain asked.
"Once he reveals his true self," Goren said, "we'll keep him off balance."
"Until he admits the truth," I added. "This will work, Captain."
I caught my partner's eye again. It would work, but he owed me big time.
