Chapter Seven

Monday found Jason swamped with his new position in the company. He was interviewing people for security guard jobs, as well as talking to Evan and Jordan Rocco, the guys with Pierce Securities who were supposed to be helping him get his feet wet. Jordan was a former Marine, like him, and Evan was a computer wiz who was helping him update software and order the right video cameras and stuff.

They were doing a walk around the offices, determining placement of cameras on each floor. When they got to Mae’s floor, he caught her watching him and winked in her direction.

Jason had been carrying around the USB drive the bad guy had left in her computer all day. Might as well figure out what to do with it.

“Uh, I have a question for you two. Mae said one of the guys left this in her computer that night. She didn’t tell the cops about it because there was a weird agent questioning her. Me, too, actually. He gave off some vibes neither of us really cared for. Do you have any way of knowing what it is?” His computer savvy-ness left a lot to be desired. Just another thing he needed to beef up for this job.

Evan took the drive and flipped it over in his palm. “Why haven’t you turned it in to someone different?”

Jason shrugged. “Not sure, honestly. I just have a gut feeling about that guy, and he said if we had anything to turn it over to him specifically. I don’t trust him. Neither did Mae.”

“What sort of agent was it?”

“He didn’t say, which led me to believe it was CIA.”

“But CIA doesn’t do domestic stuff like this.”

“Exactly,” Jason agreed. “Which makes me think this isn’t domestic.”

Evan twisted his mouth in a thoughtful look. “Let me look at it in your office and make a few phone calls. I know a guy who can tell me if he’s legit or not. What was his name?”

“Agent Harper.”

“Common enough.”

“Right.”

Evan left him with Jordan, and Jason’s eyes landed on Mae as she worked.

“Excuse me a second,” he muttered to Jordan as he strode over to her and placed a chaste kiss on her shoulder. “You doing okay?”

She nodded, filing through paperwork. “I’m doing awesome. I just got a promotion.” Her smile was ridiculous, lighting up all of Jason’s insides, and he couldn’t help but return it.

“You want to grab lunch in my office? I have an office now, you know. You can tell me all about it.” It was stupid, but he was proud of that little sign of success. He didn’t think he’d ever have a job with its own office, yet here he was.

“Sure,” she breathed at him in a whisper.

He squeezed her shoulder, wanting to do so much more, but he restrained himself, walking back over to Jordan to continue their conversation.

Back up at his office, Jason followed Jordan inside just as Evan was getting off the phone, his laptop open in front of him.

“Looks like your guts were right.
