Sierra

“Hi, Sierra. Please have a seat,” Reina says with a smile as I walk into her office. Darcy is in one of the chairs and smiles at me, too. I take the seat across from her and smile back.

“Hi.”

“It’s time for you to go out on your first mini mission.”

“Oh. Wow. I didn’t think it would be this fast.”

“Honestly, neither did we. Something came up and we both believe you can handle this.”

“Is it something technical?”

“No. It’s something Brazilian,” Darcy tells me with a wink.

“Brazilian?”

“Yes. There’s a young businessman who’s been receiving death threats. We’ve investigated, and while we’re not sure there’s really anything to worry about, we’d rather be proactive than reactive.”

“You speak Portuguese, don’t you? I mean, why me? I’m not proficient yet.”

“Several us are fluent, but we’re all married. Neveah is also fluent, but we need the people on this mission to be armed. As for being proficient, I heard you have a whole conversation with Joel at dinner the other night. You barely stumbled.”

“But I did. I stumbled.”

“The people at this dinner will find it charming, believe me.”

“You said there will be others there with me?”

“I’ll be there with Brayden. He was invited because, well, because people think it’s intriguing that he gave up his kingdom for me.”

“I’ll be part of your team?”

“No. You’ll be the principle’s date.”

“Date? I have a boyfriend.”

“We’re not asking you to sleep with him. You may have to kiss him, and I’m truly sorry for that, but sometimes it’s necessary. He will know you’re not really there with him, and you can threaten him if he gets out of line.”

I nod. I know I have to do this. I knew it would happen sometimes. I just never expected to have a boyfriend, or at least not one who I’m totally in love with. The last week has been close to perfect, and I won’t jeopardize him, even though I want the job. I can handle a kiss or two if I remember I’m just acting.

“What do I need to do?”

Reina and Darcy go over everything with me, and then they call Ainsley in to go over it with me all over again. Stella comes in at some point, getting the information she needs to dress me, and finally Audrey and Kendrick join us. They explain the procedures I’m going to go through in order to have the ear comm and tracker embedded in my skin. It’s more than a little like a sci-fi movie, but it’s also exciting. They wouldn’t be doing this if they didn’t expect me to become a real member of the Society.

I have time for a quick phone call to Joel. I get his voicemail and leave him a message that I’m going out of town for some training, and there’ll be no way to reach me until I get back. I tell him I love him, and then I hand my phone over to Ainsley. Minutes later, I’m falling asleep in the operating room.

When I wake up, my head feels weird and so does my left forearm.
