“Hello darling,” I answer my desk phone as Miranda calls while I’m working in my office a couple of days later. “What’s up?”

“Heya sweetie, I’ve got Special Agents Luta and Sanders here. Can you meet with them?”

“Yeah, send them up. Could you send Chester up too and make us all some coffee? I’ve got no idea how the Agents drink theirs.”

“Sure thing, boss.”

I close the documents I was working on that afternoon. I’ve been going through some files about the missing children from the foster home, mainly looking at how local newspapers reported on their disappearances. But there isn’t anything to find. Anything. And it infuriates me. Why the fuck are we not outraged about kids disappearing? Why aren’t we doing more? Not just us the FIX Foundation, but all of us, as decent human beings.

The door opens and Chester walks in first, cocking his head at me with a raised eyebrow as he sits down in the windowsill. I shrug, having no clue as to what they’re coming to do.

They walk in and Special agent Luta smiles sweetly at me, creating a smile on my own face. Then Beckett’s eyes land on me, and he actually gives me a half smile. What’s up with that? Did he think I was smiling because I saw him coming in? Because hell no.

Miranda walks in with a tray of coffees, and she hands everyone their drink as they sit down. She serves Beckett last, making me chuckle. Guess nobody forgot the last incident where he ignored her and she’s having her own special kind of way of payback.

She leaves the room and closes the door behind her as I hold the warm coffee cup in my hands. We’d been through a run in the rain that morning and I was still warming up after that. The hot coffee helps.

“Thanks for having us,” Agent Luta says as she grabs her cup and blows some of the steam off it. “Some results came back in, and we thought we’d bring you up to speed.”

“Before you’d get ideas and hack our servers again,” Beckett grumps, as he sits back in his chair and spreads his legs so wide the poor arm rests of the chair must be straining.

“Who? Me?” Chester asks, feigning innocence, grabbing his chest. “I’d never do such a thing.”

“I saw you do it,” Beckett snaps as he stares over his shoulder.

“Uh, no, you were too busy rubbing your body against Abby. Anyway, you don’t have any proof.”

This earns Beckett a raised eyebrow from agent Luta and somehow manages to make my cheeks heat.

“Well, if you boys are done with playtime, let’s get to it,” the gorgeous Native American agent says.

“What did you find, Special Agent Luta?” I ask, making sure I look solely in her direction and not at the two men who are still trying to out-alpha each other.

“Please, call me Winny,” she starts while cringing. “I have a feeling we’ll be seeing a lot of each other the coming time, fuck formalities.
