Audrey swung her gaze to Lee before speaking. His eyes had widened slightly, but his face didn’t hold the shock she felt. “So theoretically someone could’ve followed us to the hospital, to the hotel and even...” She let her voice trail off. It wasn’t a newsflash that someone wanted to kill them, but somehow hearing about another shooter seemed to make it more real.

It seemed unlikely that someone who wasn’t a guest or employee would manage to infiltrate the resort’s security without being seen. Except, no one was ever seen tampering with the sauna because they were clever and technical enough to bypass the security cameras. What type of threat were they dealing with?

“If the other shooter was someone in the same organization as the gunman you took out, wouldn’t they have access to talk to the Masked Network guys? Or the resort owner here? If everyone here knows Lee is an agent, why haven’t they swarmed us yet?”

“The shooter I took out was the last member of the organization unaccounted for, so we aren’t sure the threat is the same.”

“You’re saying it could be anyone.” Lee raked a hand through his hair. “That’s almost worse.”

“We have an entire team investigating and teaming up with interrogation of the members. You’re still clear to stay on mission. I feel certain we’ll have more answers soon, but until then, keep your head up and stay in the game.” Kendra exhaled. “Oh, and Audrey, you officially have top-secret clearance.”

That caused a reaction. Lee dropped his mouth. “What? That takes weeks, months, even. How’d you pull that off?”

“I didn’t,” Kendra answered.

“Oh... It’s probably for my grant,” Audrey explained. “I was expecting that any day now.”

Lee raised an eyebrow, the headphone cables swinging in between them. “That would’ve been nice to mention.”

“You didn’t ask. It didn’t seem to be a requirement for you to make me an asset.”

“It would’ve eased my mind, though.”

“Yeah, well. Get this,” Kendra said. “She has a higher clearance than we do.”

Lee narrowed his eyes. “What exactly is this grant for?”

“I told you it’s a government grant for research I will be heading up at Caltech.”

“Yes, but what exactly are you researching?”

First, she didn’t really want to spend the short amount of time they probably had with Kendra on the line discussing the work she wouldn’t start until fall. Second, it would take her a while to figure out how to explain it without invalidating her confidentiality clause. So instead, she couldn’t resist answering in the simple way that had infuriated her several times so far this week. “Sorry. Classified.”

The way his eyes popped, his mouth opened to object and finally transformed into a beaming smile, validated her word choice.

Kendra’s laugh rang in her ears. “You probably don’t realize it, but you sound just like Lee. Which leads me to a final bit of news.”

“Yes?” Lee asked.

“The adoption agency Audrey’s parents used burned down so we didn’t find any leads there. And, disturbingly, the one I was adopted from mistakenly got demolished.
