CHAPTER SIXTEEN

“It’s a cruise ship? Are you sure?” Jules asked, getting up to lean over his shoulder to look at the screen. Leaning in, she quickly saw he was on the website for Radiant Seas Cruises, an exclusive boutique cruise line. “Do they have any cruises pulling out on Friday?”

“Yes, only one. It’s seven days.” He clicked open the link to see the full description of the cruise. “It stops in Bermuda, Tortola, and the Dominican Republic.”

Inside and balcony cabins showed as sold out, but there were suites available. She couldn’t imagine how much that would cost. She quickly found out when he shocked her by clicking on the"Book Now” button. Her breath froze in her chest as she covered his hand with hers.

“No, we can’t do that!” Her heart stopped when she saw the opulent suite, which explained the opulent price tag.

“You only live once, right?” he said with a laugh as he moved through the booking process to choose the Captain’s suite. “Don’t worry about it. I just made a healthy chunk of change by plugging that leak for the government.”

“But you just can’t,” she said, covering her mouth with her hand.

“You do have a passport, right?” he asked, ignoring her.

“Yes, but it’s at my house in Franklin,” she replied. And other than one trip to Nassau eight years ago when she wanted to try out her new scuba certification, it had never been used.

“We’ll go by there before we go to the port on Friday. You’ll need to pack anyway.”

Jules’ head was spinning from the speed he was making these decisions. Cruises took time to plan, but not for him evidently.

She didn’t know if she had that much time banked at work to take off a week, no, ten days, with the wait time. And the agency usually required thirty-day notice for leave, unless she had an emergency. If her suspicions were true, this situation definitely qualified.

But was she making the right decision doing this? Was she confident enough in her gut feeling to bet ten thousand dollars of his money on it?

“I can’t let you spend that kind of money on this operation, Keegan, it’s too much. What I overheard could be related to a party next week and not a terror event. Hell, they could be picking up a hundred cases of caviar, for all I know.”

He turned a disbelieving stare on her. “Don’t be flip-flopping on me now, Natasha. You were confident enough before now to chase this lead. What’s changed? Are you doubting yourself now? Because self-doubt is not a good trait for an agent to have.”

“No, I’m not doubting what I heard or suspect,” she replied, her shoulders slumping. “I’m doubting you spending that kind of money for us to go on this ship without knowing who or what we’re looking for. Maybe we could just be here when the ship comes back to port? That might be more prudent.”

“Too late. We’re going and you need to have confidence in my abilities, even if you don’t have any in your own.
