James was whistling by the time he hauled the first batch of equipment from the hatch-back of his snazzy, good-as-new-again car and carried it to the clearing where Devon was overseeing the pouring of the spa foundation. He saluted her but didn’t interrupt, instead heading toward the temporary utility pole where their electricity was run for the site.

He sat cross-legged on the ground and sliced open the box with his pocket knife before removing a packet of instructions. Unlike Neil, who would have tossed them aside in favor of figuring it out himself, James thoroughly read every word before beginning.

The installation itself was going to be a piece of cake, but the networking aspect of it was new to him. Good thing he’d brought his laptop, and his planner—of course—in his backpack.

He unpacked the cameras, wires, transmitters, and mounting plates, inventorying all of the components before opening his travel tool-kit. Everything inside was laid out in orderly rows, precisely where he had put it.

It took less than thirty minutes before he’d knocked out the physical connections and had the system humming away and displaying an image of the entire site on his screen. At that point, he picked up his cell and dialed Jordan.

“How’s it going?” Jordan answered without bothering with hello.

“Good. Sorry to interrupt, I know you’re busy, but I’m ready to establish the network connections whenever you have a moment. Either now or I can come back whenever…”

“This is fine.” Jordan was terse but kind. James could work with that. He shut down his natural chatty tendencies and focused on just the facts. “I’m going to hand you off to Sola, who’s the head of our tech and comms team. When you’re finished with her, come back to me for a wrap up.”

“Will do.” James leaned in, Jordan’s focus rubbing off on him. He would have been lying if he said he didn’t feed off their sense of urgency. Plus, it fired him up that he was capable enough to handle the stuff on his end with minimal direction. It was like the feeling he got when he coordinated complicated processes, like insurance bullshit, for the crew and helped make their lives just a little easier.

“Hey, there.” A woman came on the line. She shared Jordan’s rapid, to-the-point style.

“Hi. I think I have the cameras all set up and broadcasting. What’s next?”

“First I’ll need you to look up the IP addresses for each device. Open the control panel, then click…”

James followed her step by step instructions, allowing her to drive his hands as they flew over the keyboard, entered commands, and clicked through menus he’d never seen before. In less than five minutes, they’d done it.

“Aha. I see you now.” She laughed when he blew her a kiss over the camera feed. “And more importantly, I see the entire construction site. Is that woman over there your wife?”

“Yup.” James puffed up with more pride than he’d felt at nailing the camera install.

“She’s cute. And badass. Look at her bossing around all those construction workers.
