Debra & Regan Webb & Black - Ready, Aim...I Do!

“He’s here? Isely?”

She nodded. “He surprised me. I guess he wants to oversee the transaction.”

“Are these people I’m supposed to spot wearing name tags or carrying around steel cases with ‘live virus’ stamped on the side?”

She glared at him. “Lucas Camp gave me the impression you were a competent agent.”

“I am.”

“He also implied there was more to you than the few lines on your public résumé.” She wanted to do a victory dance when she saw how that little barb dug into his ample pride.

“I think we both know résumés are always adjusted to suit the purpose.”

Her confidence almost faltered, but she knew she wasn’t looking at a hack or wannabe. Jason Grant was a Specialist, and how he got there didn’t matter. He was plenty qualified to help her on this. He’d agreed and she should let it go, but she had the sinking feeling there was more to it than a fear of reprimand back at the office.

“Well then.” He rolled to his feet and gathered the breakfast dishes, putting them back on the cart. “Let’s go downstairs, play the happy couple and see what we see.”

“Hang on.”

One dark eyebrow lifted in response.

“You haven’t explained why you’re here.”

“Right.” He dragged out the word while he bobbed his head. “I don’t know. What I gave you is all I have.”

“You really expect me to believe that?”

“It’s true. My orders were vague. I wasn’t told anything other than the code phrase.”

“What good is that?”

“Not much.” He pushed the cart closer to the door then turned to face her again. “I’d think that would make you happy. I don’t have anything to distract me from what you need to accomplish. Now, shall we?”

“Just let me check the status on the package I’m tracking.” She pulled out her phone and entered the information. What should have been a simple, quick process felt like an eternity with Jason staring at her. Finally, the feedback came through, confirming the virus vial hadn’t moved from the hotel room where the seller was keeping it.

She smiled at him as she tucked her phone away. “It’s all good.”
