Chapter Six

The suite next to theirs had been turned into a conference room and the main point of contact. Dakota wanted to question how Jackson had put everything together so fast, but she wasn’t really surprised. Jackson did what he wanted and she just needed to be happy he was still letting her run the investigation.

Besides, after Caspar had shown up and had words with Jackson, she didn’t feel like going up against the aggravated Walker, anyway.

Jackson had casually admitted that the room next to theirs was empty and they could get tables and more boards in quickly. That way Kieran and Dakota’s space was still their home. The less scents Dakota had to deal with in her residence, the easier her jaguar felt. She appreciated how Jackson recognized that.

Caspar had wanted them to return to the office, but with the crime scene a block away this was where Dakota wanted to be.

Hell, she even had a monitor that was hooked up with Dean’s lab so she could see him working in the lab and ask questions as he received results. All in all, it was a fucking badass set-up. Dakota normally hated to be stuck inside when she could be out in the field. Kieran was even worse, but this time Dakota needed to be careful and keep researching. Dean would find what there was to help the investigation on the scene. Dakota needed to find that elusive clue that would lead her to cracking the case.

“You doing okay?”

Dakota didn’t turn from the window as Kieran stepped up behind her, his reflection in the tinted glass. “Sure.”

“Come on,” Kieran urged as he wrapped his arm around her. “Talk to me.”

She didn’t know what to say, though. Dakota was tired and she was also ready to move on with her life. To spend time with Kieran and her friends. But she knew that things were never going to change. Being in the Organization ensured that as soon as this investigation was over, there would be another one, then another. It didn’t matter how tired she was, Dakota had work to do. She always would, until she was behind a desk filing reports from other agents who had taken her place.

“Dakota?” Kieran tightened his hold.

She shook her head. There were too many people in the room who could overhear. Plus, what would it matter if she did complain? There was nothing she could do to avoid her fate.

A few agents in the past had tried to escape the Organization and their duty. Each one had been brought back and gone through reconditioning. They had never been the same after whatever had been done to them.

“Dakota,” Dean interrupted through the monitor.

She turned, kissed Kieran’s cheek then walked back to the screen. “What’s up?”

“Kieran said there were five people involved?” Dean asked.

“Yeah,” Kieran answered for himself.

“I think there were six,” Dean said.

“Why?” She peered at the monitor, trying to make sense of the data screening over Dean’s shoulder. But this wasn’t her area of expertise.
