Chapter Seventeen

Before Charlie could respond, Pierce stuck his head in. “Temo and I are headed out. He wants you to know that there are two new security people joining the team today, but they’re not really that new. One has been used before for special events, and one is Temo’s cousin, who he personally vouches for. Obviously.”

Donna nodded, about to tap the touchpad of the laptop. “Those both sound good. Tell him I said thanks. Where’s Rixaline?”

“She’s in the living room playing with Lucky.” He smiled. “They both seem pretty happy too. Where are those receipts I need at the house?”

Donna’s fingers paused over the keyboard. “They’re in a manila envelope stuffed between the mattress and the box spring in my bedroom. My side of the bed.”

He nodded. “We’ll get them and bring them back. Anything else?”

“Yes. Take a walk around the house and check that Joe hasn’t tried to get in again through a window. The three doors are the only spots that have cameras on them. I know the alarm’s on, but still. Will you look?”

“Absolutely.”

He left, and she went back to the laptop, but couldn’t get further than the log-on screen. She looked at Charlie. “It wants a password.”

“Governor.” Charlie rolled her eyes. “I know, too easy. But there’s not much chance of that laptop falling into the wrong hands. Although…” She pursed her lips but said nothing more.

“You’re thinking about our guest?”

She smiled apologetically. “I’m not saying she would do anything. But it’s my job to think about things like that.”

“It’s okay.” Donna understood. Rixaline was still very much an unknown, despite Temo’s confirmation that the king had put a price on her head. “I can change the password. But now that I’m logged on, I’m actually thinking I might deal with this later. My lack of sleep is catching up with me, and I still need to call my daughter.”

Charlie scribbled a note on the scratch pad beside her computer. “I didn’t expect you up this early anyway. Would you like me to RSVP to the party for you?”

“Yes, thank you.” Donna stood. “I’m going to make that call, then get a few more hours of rest. Unless there’s something pressing you need me to deal with?”

“Everything’s good. Take all the time you want. Except…”

“Yes?”

“Do you need to give the FBI an answer about tonight?”

Donna tipped her head back and sighed. “Yes. Ugh.” Then she smiled at Charlie. “But thanks for the reminder. I’ll take care of that too.”

“Are you doing it, then? The sting?”

“I pretty much have to, don’t I?” She rubbed the back of her neck. “I know it’s the right thing. Even if it’s not the thing I want to do.”

“I can call him for you, if that helps.” Charlie picked up a pen like she was ready to take down his number.

“Thanks, but I’ll text him and tell him I’m in, but then I’m going to give him the governor’s contact information so he can send all the important stuff there. And I’ll let him know you’re available if he needs to talk to someone.
