Obscurity as a surprisingly pleasant place to stay.

While Peter certainly misses his own bed and the familiar quirks of his home, this wasn’t anywhere a bad an experience as his first foray into protective custody. For starters, he had his wife, his dog and his partner within reach on a 24/7 basis. And he has a box of papers and files about the mysterious McGuinness-Humboldt. Obscurity also had a shielded WiFi signal that enabled him to get full access the FBI servers he needed. Mozzie quietly showed him the hardware closet and Peter was certain some of the tech in there shouldn’t be used by civilians. But frankly, with everything going on, Peter couldn’t bring himself to care.

At the moment, he was sifting through papers. He’d already been through McGuinness-Humboldt’s corporate filings and publicly released tax information - which wasn’t much of anything since the company was privately and very closely held. The box of files he never had gotten the chance to go through before they tried to burn down his house also contained some surprisingly sensitive information about the three principals of the company.

Scanning the papers, Peter started looking for connections - to him, to Neal, to the music box. Nothing jumped out at him. The founders were all ex-military, veterans of the first Gulf War. That was the only thing they had in common - on paper. One was a marine - an NCO, the other an air force colonel who flew a hundred sorties over Baghdad, and the third was regular army, a paper pusher in the military’s supply chain who never saw action in either Kuwait or Iraq.

There was simply nothing to connect these three men to him or to Mentor. Peter could find no reason why they wanted him dead.
