Chapter Eleven

Sophia felt relatively confident that she would never live through this day. Cameron kept praising her quietly, telling her what a remarkable job she had done with Smith, but Sophia just felt exhausted. They still couldn’t talk freely because of the bug that Thompson—or Mr. Smith or whatever you wanted to call him—had placed in their room. That man gave her the freak-outs.

After she had completely lost the contents of her stomach, Cameron had helped Sophia from the bathroom, onto the bed. He was sitting beside her, stroking her hair back from her face, as he had been for the past twenty minutes.

“I wouldn’t worry too much about what Mr. Smith said,” Cameron told her in a voice loud enough for the surveillance to clearly hear him. “You’ll just give him the information tomorrow, he’ll pay you and it will be all over.”

“Yeah...” The word came out all croaky so Sophia started again. “Yeah, I just don’t like people threatening to kill me.”

A knock on the door brought them both to attention. Sophia stayed where she was as Cameron went to open the door. It was Fin carrying two separate hanging bags of clothes. He was also sporting a nasty bruise on his jaw.

“These are from Mr. Smith,” Fin said gruffly, thrusting the bags into Cameron’s arms.

“Which one? Your uncle or the real Mr. Smith?” Cameron scoffed. “What happened to your face, Fin?”

“Your girlfriend is what happened to my face. Mr. Smith didn’t like it that I allowed Sophia to arrive with us without contacting him first, even though she has something he wants,” Fin spat. A vein pulsed in his neck as he turned to glare at Sophia on the bed. “You should’ve told me you were FBI.”

Sophia recoiled from the venom in Fin’s eyes. “I’m not really FBI. I just happen to work at the FBI building. Plus, I’m sure you would’ve just killed me if I had mentioned it.”

Fin didn’t respond to that, just turned and marched out the door. Cameron unzipped and held up the contents of the bags. One contained dress pants and a light gray shirt for Cameron. The other contained a black gown that looked quite lovely and demure in the front. But then Sophia turned it around on the hanger and saw that it was backless almost down to the waist.

Sophia cringed. It was beautiful, but definitely not something she would’ve ever picked out or worn. “Looks like we have our costumes for tonight.”

Cameron nodded. “You okay?”

“I don’t like having to wear what he picks out for me. But I guess it’s better than a shirt and jeans.” Sophia turned and went into the bathroom to build her resolve. If this dress was her only option then she’d make the best of it.

A couple hours later they were on their way to the main part of the house. Sophia was glad to be out of the room—having to monitor every word that came out of their mouths was stressful. She was constantly worried she was going to let something slip.
