Chapter 14

Faith could not explain her nervousness, considering she had recently been in the presence of three crime lords with no security around. She was fearful then, but somehow the looming structure of the prison set the sick feeling of nerves fluttering around her stomach.

She followed Bart’s lead as they entered through the main doorway and showed identification. She removed her coat, handing it to the guard before moving through the metal detectors.

Bart glanced behind him to check on her. His eyes dropped to her outfit and he noted she had indeed dressed with care. Her long-sleeved, dark blue blouse was buttoned to the top, showing virtually no skin. He realized a week ago, this woman would not have appeared on his radar at all as someone to be interested in. And now? He had to tear his eyes away as he wondered what delights lay underneath all those clothes. Giving himself a mental shake, he offered her a small smile of encouragement.

So far, the procedures reminded her of passing through security at an airport. In fact, the guards appear friendlier than the airport security! She expected everything to be grey in color, but found flashes of light blue on the doorframes and chairs in the rooms.

Bart had explained that because they were there at not only Krustas’ insistence, but the visit was sanctioned by the FBI, they would not be using the main family visitation room. “They’ll place us in a smaller conference room, but don’t worry—a guard will be there the whole time.”

She nodded. They passed through another security checkpoint and this time, she noted dark green covered the doorframes. The different areas are color-coded. She looked around at everything, nervous and yet fascinated at the same time. The sound of her boots tapping on the tile floors echoed as they continued down the long hall. Peering to the side, she slammed into Bart’s back as he came to a stop.

Blushing a deep red, she looked up, mouthing Sorry, as he grinned down at her. Finally, they were shown into an interview room; this time, the grey table and chairs were what she expected. The windowless room had another door at the opposite end. Bart moved to a chair and pulled it out for her. Smiling her thanks, she settled in the seat, placing her shaking hands in her lap.

After about ten minutes, the door opened and a guard walked in, followed by Sergio, and another guard. They made sure Sergio was seated before one guard stood by the door and the other one moved back through.

Bart eyed him dispassionately. He had never met Sergio, but had followed the investigation and trial since it occurred in his hometown, Virginia Beach. He wanted to glance to the side to see how Faith was doing, but would not give Sergio the opportunity to think he was concerned about her…or to insinuate she needed protection.

Faith worked to keep her expression passive, but felt her heart tap-dancing in her chest and hoped no one else could hear it.
