18 Cold Man Hands

The rest of the meeting was X going over the logistics of my new job. There was a little bit of tension in the room left over between Nick and me. X felt it also and looked at me with an almost fatherly expression on his face saying, “Nick is going to be my liaison with you when I can’t contact you directly. He will most likely be on some missions with you also. So if there are any hard feelings, now is the time to clear that shit up. I can ill afford agents not working together or God forbid not having each other’s backs. When you are on an assignment I expect you to complete it without fail.” X looked at me and then Nick, “Is that clear gentleman?” I cleared my throat and said, “Crystal, sir!” X then looked at Nick who was nodding in agreement.

Nick and I got up at the same time and headed for the thick door leading to the outer office. I still felt a slight sense of betrayal from Nick, but knew I had to get that out of my head. X was right, I would have to have a clear head if I was going to do my job correctly and ultimately find my boys.

Nick closed the door behind me and motioned me towards McCabe’s desk. It was a simple desk with a thin computer monitor, keyboard and printer off to the side. Her desk was immaculate, absolutely no clutter. The only thing on it was a brown folder with my name in the upper left hand corner. She had a plastic red rose in a simple glass vase on the corner of her desk. There was a photo in a silver frame of her and a man with their arms around each other. They were ankle deep in what appeared to be an ocean at sunset. She was wearing a black one-piece swim suit that flattered her curves and cleavage. The man looked as though he was about five years older than her with grey hair that was in a high and tight haircut. He was wearing Oakley sunglasses and had an athletic body. They both had big smiles on their faces and the look of two people that were in love. There were rows of metal filing cabinets that had large locks on them behind her.

McCabe offered me one of the simple metal chairs that were across from her desk and I sat down. Nick patted me on the shoulder as he walked towards the outer door and said, “I’ll leave you two alone so you can get better acquainted.” McCabe shot him a coy smile and I blushed. God I hate that about myself, why can’t I control that? I could feel the blood in my cheeks. McCabe caught this and gave me a quick smile and an ever so quiet giggle.

McCabe quickly switched to “work mode” and locked her eyes on her monitor with intensity.
