Rhian was silent most of the ride back to the Embassy. Tony glanced over at her once or twice to be sure she was all right, but she simply appeared to be lost in thought.
Finally as they pulled through the gates to the building she sat forward and said decisively, "John Kinsey!"
"Excuse me?" Tony pulled around to the parking area and into their designated slot.
"That man's name. It isn't Paul Decker. It's John Kinsey." She popped the latch on the seatbelt and slipped out of the car. "Come on. If I'm right, I know who killed Helena."
Tony followed quickly behind her and she explained as they walked. "In that stack of papers up there," she gestured to the building, "there is a list that Helena compiled of Rodgers' contacts. Men he supposedly used as middlemen in his transfer of codes to his buyers. Kinsey is one of those men." They entered the building and Rhian punched the button for the elevator impatiently.
"Look, I'll show you when we get upstairs." She glanced over her shoulder at Tony. "Helena had all of them marked though. There were several of them. According to her notes, Rodgers would use them to not only transfer the codes, but for other odd jobs as well."
"Looks like odd jobs graduated to murder," Tony said grimly.
They quickly made their way back to the conference room and Rhian moved directly to one stack of papers. "Here!" she said, holding up several sheets stapled together.
Tony stepped to her side and looked over her shoulder. Helena had compiled data sheets on several men, employees of Rodgers. All of them looked eerily similar, in that they were all very non-descript individuals. Each could be completely overlooked in a crowd, and could honestly only be described as "completely average" by your garden-variety witness.
Rhian flipped to the page with John Kinsey's information. "There's your Paul Decker," she told him. Together they read down the information that Helena had on him. It varied little from the other men, listing his vital statistics, last known address and the fact that he was Rodgers' man in the States.
"At the accident site, didn't McGeek say something about Helena having run into him just three days before she died? What was that all about?" Tony mused as Rhian began gathering the papers up in preparation for transport to NCIS.
"Mm, actually I think it was Edward who told us." Rhian shook her head. "No idea. She wasn't passing him information, if that's what you're thinking. She knew he was Rodgers' man, she'd hardly set herself up that way if she was the mole. And if she wasn't, then…" She stopped suddenly.
"Then why go up to him and say anything at all?" Tony finished.
"What if she was trying to get him to back off?" she speculated. "She had a plane ticket out of here under a false name just a few days from that confrontation. What if she planned to spill everything, all she had to do was buy herself those few days?"
"Pretty risky move, if you ask me."
"Well, whatever she said, it turned out to be lethal."
