I never thought that I would be sitting inside a CIA safe house, but here I am. I keep expecting Jack Ryan to come in at any moment. I look outside the window where a group of agents are having a heated discussion. I know three of the five agents: Gage, Lawson, and Bot. I only met Bot about an hour ago, but I already like him.
When I first got here, he came with flowers. He handed them to me. I said thank you.
âNo, Shelby, thank youâfor seeing through our thick walls and for piercing our armor. Itâs not always easy to love guys like Gage and me. Yeahâ¦weâre a hard one. But weâve got our reasons,â he responded.
I turned towards Gage and whispered, âDid he just quote Desperado?â
Gage replies, âI work with him, and trust me, it could be much worse.â
I smiled at Bot and thanked him for the flowers again. That was earlier; now Iâm sitting at a dining table in a blah apartment trying not to overthink what must be going on outside. It feels like forever before everyone comes back inside. Well, not everyone. Only Gage, Lawson, and Bot. The other agents get into their cars and drive off.
âYou okay? You need anything?â Gage asks. âIâm sorry this place is so awful, but we couldnât run the risk of taking you to the agency. Weâre not sure who we can or canât trust.â
âYeah, okay I guess. So, whatâs going on?â
All three of them exchange an uneasy look. When they make eye contact with me, I canât help but note the reluctance in their eyes.
âCome on, Gage. Youâre freaking me out.â
He takes a seat beside me. âNo, babe. Thereâs no need for that.â
âYeah, in fact, this is a good thing. All of this is a very good thing,â Lawson says with an eager smile. Gage glares at him. Bot looks away.
âSomeone tell me whatâs happened. Did Roger do something?â I ask.
âWe were given permission to fill you in provided you sign papers vowing not to discuss this case with anyone outside of this room. If you do so, there will be major legal ramifications,â Lawson says. I look over at Gage; he hates every minute of this.
âMaybe we donât need to read her in. Sheâs not with him anymore,â Gage argues.
âCome on, man; you saw the report as clearly as I did. Roger Price is in love with her. Heâs refusing to sign divorce papers. He wants her back. He would welcome her into his home again, and thatâs exactly what we needâaccess,â Lawson counters.
âBefore we go further, we need to have her sign these papers,â Bot says. They hand them to me. I read them over and sign the letter basically saying this conversation we are about to have is top secret and cannot be shared. Then Gage fills me in.
He tells me that Roger is the traitor they have been seeking out for weeks now. Heâs given vital intel to foreign entities and cost CIA agents their lives.
