CHAPTER 16

MIKE

Mike looked at his watch for what seemed like the millionth time since he got off the plane. Showing up unannounced was the only way he would be able to have this meeting. He had to catch the man off guard. If he scheduled a meeting, there would be too much time for him to prepare, and Mike needed to get some real answers.

He’d pulled a lot of strings and cashed in a lot of favors to even get to see him, but he knew it would pay off. It just had to!

“Mr. Thatcher, Agent Worthington will see you now,” the female agent who acted as a secretary finally addressed him. She showed no emotion, and she acted like he hadn’t been sitting there staring daggers at her for keeping him waiting.

Mike kept his cool because he knew that it was all to show who had the upper hand. The games the Feds played were merciless; they wanted to make sure you knew at all times who was in charge. He’d waited for two hours to get in to see Worthington, but he would be damned if he was leaving before he got a chance to talk to him. He had too many questions, and all of his trails led to one person, Senior Special Agent John Worthington.

Mike strode in with confidence as he came face to face with Worthington. The man stood tall with broad shoulders and a slathering of salt-and-pepper hair covering his head. He had a fierce expression on his tan face, and a no-nonsense stance. Mike knew that this task was not going to be easy. But he hadn’t come all the way to New Jersey for nothing.

“Mr. Thatcher. Why may I ask are you here?” Worthington cut right to the point. Mike could respect that, and he was glad he wouldn’t have to dance around before getting what he needed.

“I’m here about Agent Chase Johnson, sir.”

“I see. Have a seat, young man.” Worthington nodded toward a chair located on the opposite side of his massive desk. Mike saw a flash of concern on the man’s face before he covered it with a blank expression. He’d seen Chase do the same thing a million times before.

This is definitely not going to be easy. Mike took his seat, and tried to mentally prepare himself for the maze of questions he would have to wade through in order to get the answers that he needed.

Once they were both seated, Worthington took a deep breath, his mask firmly back in place and questioned, “Why are you asking about Agent Johnson?”

“I know that she is under your command, and she’s investigating Tommy Angeletti.”

“That’s classified information, son. And as far as I know, there isn’t an agent by the name of Michael Thatcher, so if Agent Johnson is out there giving away classified information, then we have a major problem on our hands.”

Okay, so the old man is trying to play hardball. Mike set his mouth in a hard line because he knew that Worthington was bluffing his ass off.
