Pia Sabel
What do you look like?
I’m very tall and very strong. I played international soccer for years and still keep fit.
Where are you today and what are you doing?
In my office at the top of Sabel Towers in Bethesda, Maryland. I’m deciding whether to buy a company that makes facial recognition software to add to Sabel Industries. I don’t like that the company is in the creepy-AF business, but I’d rather have it in safe hands than let it get acquired by some nefarious cabal.
Describe the outside of your home.
Landscaped gardens in every direction running from the house to the perimeter wall where armed security patrol 24/7 to keep my enemies at bay.
You come face to face with your worse enemy. How do you react?
I did that in Death & Secrets. I didn’t react well. I can’t tell you more about that because there is no statute of limitations on murder. Even if it was justified and long overdue.
You keep a photo album of memories from your lifetime. If you could only keep one photo, which one would that be?
My mother, who was murdered by the guy mentioned in the last question when I was four.
Are you a morning person or a night owl?
I’m an insomniac. You can find me reading at midnight and starting my morning work out (a quick 10K followed by swimming, biking, weights, and boxing) at three in the morning.
A police officer stops you for a minor violation. What violation is that and how do you react?
Speeding. Whenever I leave the house in my McLaren, I get a ticket. It’s gotten so bad, I take the limo most days. But where’s the fun in that? I need to buy a racetrack somewhere. How do I react? Well, it’s usually Officer Dave, so we just chat about his kids and how the divorce is affecting them.
What is your favorite piece of clothing?
My liquid metal body armor. Not only has it saved my life more than once, but it’s made by Sabel Industries and comes in eight colors. We’re adding Sunshine Yellow for spring.
Do you have any phobias? What are they and how intense are they? How have they impacted your life?
None.
Open your wallet, purse, or briefcase. What do you find?
Glock 19 Gen4 with a 17-round magazine. It’s compact enough for a woman’s hand yet large enough for an accurate muzzle length.
You move into a new home. What's the first thing you buy for it?
No idea. I have people for that.
How do you feel about mortality?
It’s only a matter of time.
What scares you?
Nothing.
Who is your best friend?
Jacob Stearne. Unless Tania Cooper is reading this, then she’s my best friend.
Are you faith-oriented?
I’m an Episcopalian, so yes, but you’d never know it.
Are you married or in a relationship?
Maybe. He hasn’t called me his girlfriend yet, so …
When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Alive.
