Chapter 8

Gen

Scenes from the night before played over and over again in my head, making work next to impossible. I couldn’t focus on anything other than Talon Becker.

That morning, I’d been cold and distant, knowing that I’d have to make sure he knew that what had happened couldn’t happen again.

“What’s wrong with you? Too busy thinking about makeup and shoes to do your job, Agent?” Fred spat.

“Wouldn’t you know it,” I retorted, trying my damnedest not to let the sleazy bastard get under my skin.

“Figures. Should’ve sent a real investigator. Instead, they send a twit with her head up in the clouds. It’s lovely to see where our hard earned tax dollars are going.”

Before I could reply and tell the man to fuck off, my phone rang.

“Agent Mendoza,” I answered.

“Hello, Agent Mendoza. I’d like an update. Seems we’ve had yet to hear from you regarding the status of Mr. Tekin since your arrival,” Director Harrison, my superior, spoke into my ear.

“Of course, Director Harrison, sir. We’ve been unable to locate him so far. However, the terrain is difficult to pass, and it is taking longer than expected. I’ve teamed up with the local search and rescue. They’ve been most helpful with narrowing down the search radius. I should know more by the week’s end.”

The Director sighed. “Agent Mendoza, I hope you understand the precarious nature of your current situation. I’ve had high expectations of you, which is why you were tasked with this case. I would be disappointed to think I had misplaced my faith. You have until Monday to produce results, or I will be forced to recall you and send someone better equipped to deal with this situation.”

There it was. The doubt. It was the one constant in my life. The threat was plain as day. Bring Tekin in, or face the unemployment line.

“Of course, sir. I will work tirelessly to ensure this man is taken off the streets.”

“Good,” the Director said before the line went dead.

It felt like my heart dropped into my toes. My career I’d worked so hard for was in jeopardy, and I didn’t know how I was going to salvage the case with Tekin when I couldn’t even find a trace of the man.

Even with my world falling down around me, my thoughts returned to Talon. I reminded myself he was a distraction, and whatever was between us had an expiration date on it.

Distance.

That was what I needed. If I put distance between him and me, things could stay professional, and we could both move on with dignity. It was a talk I really didn’t want to have, but I saw no other way around it.

I’d seen the warmth and affection in his eyes that morning and the concern when I wasn’t as amorous as I’d been the night before. Maybe there was something even more to those shared glances, but there was no other way around it.

I had to end things with Talon Becker, and it was going to have to be the best damn performance of my life even if it tore me up to do it.
