When Ron and I walk back to the bus for the ride to the hotel, he deliberately slows his steps to separate us from the Boosters.

“I hope you can understand, Daunis, why I told Jamie it might be better to cool it with the boyfriend-girlfriend act,” Ron says quietly.

Huh? Is that why Jamie acted strange on Monday and has been so standoffish this week?

I consider my response to Ron. I’m thinking like a Secret Squirrel: I want information without giving anything in return.

“You’re gonna need to explain it to me,” I say in my best Ryan Cheneaux imitation.

“Undercover operatives, especially young field agents, sometimes get too enthusiastic about their assignments. They develop emotional connections with suspects or informants. It happens often enough that senior field agents, like me, know what to look for.”

Ron waits for me to say something. When I don’t, he stops walking.

“What I saw Sunday night? At least one of you was not acting.”
