Chapter 6

Undercover

Operation

An officer nervously jumped out of the way, practically falling over his feet to hold the station’s entrance door open for Lily. She smiled appreciatively at him, and with a flutter of her eyelashes, stepped gracefully passed in her six-inch heels. Her perfume floated through the air behind her like the newly opened cherry blossoms in the wind.

It was around four in the afternoon, and Lily was making her way into the station to meet the detectives for the security briefing and run down of Gary’s big plan.

“Excuse me, ma’am,” the officer called from behind her.

Lily turned around, assuming she must have dropped something.

“I was just wondering what you’re doing later,” the officer said, flashing a confident smile, “and if you might be interested in letting me take you out for a drink?”

“Uh, Brian—it’s me…” Lily suppressed a laugh. She stopped by this officer’s desk every day to sign the register, and he usually never even looked up at her.

Confusion flooded his face as he scanned Lily with his eyes, trying to recognize her.

Lily didn’t know whether to feel insulted or complimented. Did she really take such little note of her everyday appearance, or was it just that her long hours of work on this particular day had paid off? “Lily Wilkens!” she said. “You literally sign me in everyday. I work with Garcia and Ryan Scott…”

The officer’s face reddened as he finally recognized her. He belted a laugh as he rubbed his chin and looked her up and down. “Well, you sure clean up good!” He winked. “So, how about that drink?”

Lily clicked her tongue in annoyance before turning on her heels and striding away from the officer, shaking her head in disapproval.

Lily wasn’t the kind of girl who wore a lot of make-up or spent hours beautifying herself, but if Mickie needed a showstopper entrance from a gorgeous woman to turn heads, then that’s what Lily planned to give him. When her arms had started shaking from the hours of working on her hair, she had to admit that, in part, Garcia’s and Ryan’s disbelief in her ability to pull this off had fueled her motivation to keep going and prove them wrong.

Lily confidently stepped out of the elevator doors. With her chin held high and her elegant black dress flowing behind her, she cat-walked to Garcia’s office, ignoring the heads that snapped around to stare at her and the whistles that followed.

Ryan poked his head through the doorway to see what the commotion was about, and stopped dead when he saw Lily, his jaw falling open and his eyes widening in surprise.

Lily’s stomach lurched uncomfortably as Ryan watched her approach, her smoldering eyes locked on his.

She stopped in front of him and stared him down until he slowly moved out of the doorway and allowed her entrance into the office.

Garcia chuckled to himself, watching the exchange take place. He then offered Lily a gentlemanly compliment on her attire and proceeded to fill her in on how they would be closely monitoring the situation to ensure her safety at all times.
