interested, interesting, highly intelligent—and it’s all wrapped up in an incredibly sexy, beautiful package.”

Jay laughed. “Is that all?”

“No, but I didn’t want you to get a swelled head.”

“No danger there, love.”

“I know. That’s one of the other things that makes you the right one.”

Jay twined their fingers together. “I’m so glad you think so. I love you, Kate.”

“I love you, too, Jay.”

“What’s the word, Spinmeister?”

Kate and Peter had just sat down to lunch at one of Peter’s favorite out-of-the-way haunts. She liked to tease him about his penchant for cloak-and-dagger. It was as if, she had told him on more than one occasion, he wanted to go through life as a shadow.

“Hard to say. If Redfield feels the slightest bit of sadness over Sampson’s departure, he’s certainly not showing it.”

“No. Bill tolerated Brian, but I always got the feeling he thought he could do a better job. He was just biding his time.”

“And now his time has come.”

“Exactly. Is he making any changes?” Peter speared a french fry off Kate’s plate, earning him a fork to the back of the hand.

“Nothing like the punishment fitting the crime. I’m beginning to think you’ve been spending too much time with our ‘lock ’em up and throw away the key’ legislators. What happened to compassion, rehabilitation?”

“I’m all for that when it’s deserved. In your case, however, you clearly know you’re doing something wrong and your actions are quite deliberate. In such a case, I’m all for sending a message that willful disregard of the laws will be frowned upon and perpetrators will be dealt with harshly.”

Peter held up his hands. “Ye gods. You even sound like one of them.

You’re scaring me.”

“Yeah? Good, that was my intent. Now keep your filthy paws off of my plate.”

Eyes gleaming, Peter reached across and snagged another fry, studiously ignoring Kate’s growl. “That’s just to show you that I’m not the least bit afraid of you. Now, can we get back to the topic at hand?”
