CHAPTER NINE

Emily wasn’t sure what to expect tonight, so she went with the worst possible scenario her brain could conjure: The truck contained bodies, and Charge and his buddies were going to have a team-building event tonight to bury them. Or maybe the truck contained crates of dynamite. I’ll wear my Converse just to be safe. Always be prepared for a quick escape.

She slid on her jeans and grabbed her last clean T-shirt, the red one. Tomorrow, she would look for a new place and buy some necessities. She still didn’t know what to make of Charge loaning her money, but she wasn’t in much of a position to argue. Until she knew exactly who he was, she had to pretend she was on board. With luck, he’d make a mistake or tip his hand. That said, the more she drilled into the facts—how there had never been proof behind anything he told her—she was becoming convinced: Charge was law enforcement trying to infiltrate this illegal operation.

Fact: Sampson hired her, and then he dropped off the radar before her first day.

Fact: None of the other operators, besides Charge, had come around the office.

Fact: Charge said he was unaware of the true contents inside those hidden rooms. (Meaning, he was likely an outsider.)

Fact: When she tried to leave her job, Charge claimed she knew too much and she would be hunted if she didn’t stay. (Ridiculous. She knew very little when it came to incriminating information. The files she’d seen on the targets contained mostly public information that anyone could uncover if they just took the time.)

So what if…

Sometime between her conversation with Sampson and that first Monday morning, Sampson and his men suspected their team had been burned and they scattered with the wind? And what if Charge and his team of agents figured out their bust was a bust (someone had tipped Sampson off)? All was lost for Agent Charge.

So then, what’s the next best thing when you need something to show for months of surveillance and hundreds of man-hours, your entire operation has gone down the shitter, and you work for the government?

I know what I’d do. She would step into the abandoned gun-for-hire business, pose as a member, and collect intel on the customers. At the very least, there’d be some arrests. Now, if Sampson and his team were being funded by the local or state government via unsanctioned operations meant to circumvent the legal system, then the “client” arrests would be even juicier. Agent Charge would catch all sorts of high-profile people in the net. A good day’s work for him and his team.

It’s all just theories, she told herself, but the pieces fit. Including the reason Charge had called her for help last night. He’d probably showed up to the job, intending to gather evidence, but found himself being checked out or hunted by Sampson’s men.

I mean, that’s what I’d do if my operation was outted. If she were Sampson, trying to figure out if
