Chapter Fifteen

It took everything I had to ignore Daniel as I walked into the living area of the suite. A million questions ran through my mind, but now wasn’t the time.

The whole living area was set up as a command center. There were three different computers throwing off low lights and humming quietly. The computer with the largest monitor showed the surveillance feed from the downstairs suite.

Neil talked to Daniel in hushed tones as I walked over to the monitor.

There they were. Our marks. Two men and one woman. Definitely Fae. They had long, elegant bodies and moved with sure grace. The men were dressed in khakis and polo shirts of varying color, but they tugged at the clothes as though the fabric bothered them. The female sported a brunette ponytail and wore a skirt and button down blouse.

A male with long, sandy blond hair and the female sat facing the open window. The bugs were obviously working as we could hear them plain as day. They spoke quietly in some language I couldn’t understand. The last man paced in and out of the camera’s range. He was the tallest, and if I had to bet, he was the blond one’s brother.

“Do we have any idea what they’re saying?” I kept my eyes on the screen, studying the marks.

Dev walked up behind me and pressed a mug of coffee into my hands. My mind was still foggy from sleep and the potion. The mug felt warm and solid.

He put a hand on my back as he leaned in and looked at the monitor. “I know what they’re saying, most of it anyway. They’re speaking Gaelic. It’s not exactly what my mother’s people speak, but it’s close enough. Fun fact: the Gaelic language is a derivation of ancient Elvish.”

“Thanks, professor.” Daniel took up position on my other side, trapping me between him and Dev. “Could you cut the trivia and tell her what they said?”

Dev ignored the bait and slid into the seat in front of the monitor. He pointed to the female. “This one seems to be the leader. She’s been telling the other two what to do. If I had to guess, the men are bodyguards. I think the word they used was escort, but I can’t be sure.”

“Did you get a shot of the box?” I asked.

“Yes.” Daniel bit the word out.

I finally looked up at him. Usually, right before a job there was a sort of calm that settled over Daniel. It was the same way for me, rather like an actor about to go on stage. We were nervous right up until we were about to go on and then we realized that we knew our lines and it was all going to be all right. The night before a job there was tension, but there was also excitement, even for Daniel. He liked to pretend that he did this just to keep me out of trouble, but he liked the rush, too.

But I could tell
