Chapter 8

Some people would probably flip their shit if they found out their spouse was a covert spy, and in particular, an assassin. It was clear Evie wasn’t sure what to make of my reaction.

It wasn’t like my hands weren’t covered in red, though my job didn’t often lead to death, unless they got the chair, of course. I was no innocent, I had a body count and it wasn’t exactly small. In some ways, what I did could be considered even worse than Evie’s job. I used manipulation, yes, but I also used pain and intimidation to get what was needed, and I was damn good at it. The justification was simple; what we did, we did in defense of our country. Bad deeds for a noble purpose.

As a spy, we spend so much time in the darkness, sometimes the reasons don’t make the pill any easier to swallow, and we could lose sight of why we’re doing those things. Then the darkness is all that’s left. There were moments in my life when I wondered if I’d traded my soul for the safety of others. Then, I met Evie. She was the light of my life, and the love I felt for her was like a balm to my wounded soul. I felt some redemption in knowing my actions protected her.

Finding out she was doing the same, how could I judge her for having the same sense of duty and patriotism? No, her kills weren’t what bothered me. In fact, knowing my wife was such a badass was a pretty big fucking turn on. What got to me, was seeing her in danger, worrying about her. I knew she would want to kick my ass for it because she was the best at what she did, but it didn’t stop the torturous emotions.

I wanted her out of this life, to stop putting herself at risk, because what she was asking of me, it was killing me. And when this mission was over, we’d be having a very frank conversation. I was going to make sure she kept her sexy ass at home if it was the last thing I did. Knowing my Evie ... it very well could be.

She walked out of the hotel lobby after checking us out, came over to where I was idling on the curb, and got into the car. We were trying to avoid being seen too much together in public, putting off the assumption we were a couple. Little things, like being at the front desk of a hotel, could make all the difference.

She buckled in and I drove out onto the road, ready to make the hour drive to Civitavecchia Port. We were going to spend the night at a local safe house while Martin tried to pinpoint Heron’s location, or at least get us a lot closer so we weren’t stumbling around in the dark. I was only giving him a day, then we would catch the ferry to Barcelona at five o’clock pm.
