Shopping was quick and Hannah only got the basic essentials. Her mother would have shaken her head at Hannah and said a shopping trip requires at least two hours and then lunch afterward. Hannah didn’t get much because she wouldn’t be there long and she didn’t need more. Hannah had stayed close to Ben during shopping but never touched. After shopping, Ben took her to get her hair done then suggested they grab a bite to eat before meeting back up with the team. She still had to tell them what she knew and they had to unencrypt files from the flash drive Ben had uncovered. Ben continuously scanned their surroundings for any threat. They sat down at a booth in the back and Ben sat with his back to the wall to watch the front entrance.

"Do you always do that?" Hannah asked as she set her bags down and running her fingers through her now smooth and even hair. She felt like a new woman. "Scan the area and sit with your back against a wall?" She explained at his blank stare.

"Yes, someone tried to have my team killed." She knew there was more it than that but didn’t press him.

"So tell me more about your team?" Hannah asked after they ordered.

"What do you want to know?" Ben asked cautiously.

"I’m not asking for their social security number, just tell me about them. All I know is that they saved my life and like pizza."

"We've worked together for over five years; most of us went through training together, others joined later. They are all loyal and would jump in front of a bullet for you."

"They seem great. Is it only you guys with odd names or are there others?"

"Odd names?" Ben didn’t think they had odd names.

"Tiny, Cricket, those don’t seem like names any parent would give a child.”

"They're not odd." Well, at least not to him. He had earned his name as the rest of his team had. "We each earned those names and what we go by. Secrecy is must for us and using our real names goes against that."

"James Bond always used his real name,” Hannah argued.

“I doubt that was the name he was born with and was only his spy name,” Ben told her deadpan. He didn’t want her comparing him and his team to a fictional spy. Bond and other spy movies ruined a person’s image of what the Delta Force and real spies did. There was a lot more to it than fancy clothes and cool gadgets. Not that she would ever know.

“Well, I can’t go around calling them those names. What are their real names?"

"I’ll tell you, but don’t expect them to answer to them. Tiny is Mike, Cricket is Samuel, Doc is Carter, and Sunshine is Liam. Hawk is Heath and Hound is Aaron."

"I don’t think I’ll remember all those names."

"You get stuck just ask or say hey you. One of us is bound to answer." Ben smiled to show her he was teasing her.
