Chapter Thirty-Three

I’m dying to sit Agent Warfield down and see what I can learn about this whole BradComm situation. I decide I can hold off from the questions, however, to at least greet him first.

Mason and I head over to the car to greet Special Agent Lee Warfield as he turns off his car. Lee has questions for me. I have questions for Lee. But we’re both cordial enough to withhold those questions while Lee exits his very FBI-looking silver Ford Taurus.

“Hi, I’m Lee. You must be Keith?” Lee says after grabbing an overnight bag out of the back seat. He looks more like a desk agent than Mason, and is even closer to my age, if not older. Lee’s a dark-skinned guy with a stocky build that makes him look shorter than he really is. He isn’t in an FBI uniform as I would call it, but is dressed more comfortably in a business casual style outfit with a navy Columbia down jacket, a light blue button-up shirt and khaki trousers. He has a short, crisp haircut and an air of confidence, almost arrogance. I internally refuse to give him a score of any kind, as I want to stop judging people like that after my internal age debate regarding Mason.

Lee closes the door to his car and faces Mason and me.

“Hi, Agent Warfield. Keith Morgan,” I say, as politely as I can.

Lee shakes my hand and nods.

“Hi, Keith. Nice to finally meet you in person,” he says.

Then Lee turns and greets Mason by name.

“I suppose you’re Special Agent Mason from Denver,” he says as he shakes her hand. It’s a statement, not a question.

“I am. It’s a pleasure,” she says in return.

Clearly, he knew she was here, although it’s also clear they have never met before. With the introductions complete, we head into the house.

Before I can even start my questions, Lee is first to launch.

“So, Mr. Morgan, where is this device that’s causing so much commotion? I need to get the data back to the lab to analyze. Then I’d like to get your assessment of what you’ve found with the data so far,” he begins.

Well, ok then, I suppose this is how we’ll get started. I don’t know what I expected, but it annoys me that Lee believes the FBI can get to the answers faster than someone who knows what the data is.

I decide to withhold my opinions for now and motion to Lee to follow me to my room. Again, I unlock the safe with my fingerprint and pull the door open. I grab the USB drive off the top shelf and hand it to Lee. As he grabs the drive, I can see him scanning the safe and the door.

As I close the door, Lee shifts to a solemn tone.

“Thank you for your service. I saw your bio on the flight. You’re clearly not the typical software consultant. Army reconnaissance? Security consultant with Hart International?” he says.

I nod in appreciation as he looks me in the eye and continues while leaning inches from my face.
