“You are being hoodwinked.”

Everett ignored Jason. It did not matter if it was true. They needed this job. It seemed it took a bit more than ignoring the assassin to silence him, however.

“Wait until dark. Then I will go into town and discuss the matter with this Goodman. He will turn over the money, and then we can stop wasting time we do not have performing silly errands in this Selpe pothole,” Jason said.

“Why wait until dark?” Cameron asked.

“So, he can easily sneak into Goodman’s house unnoticed and slit his throat,” Everett told him.

“Sorry I asked,” murmured Cameron.

“How grotesque. You wouldn’t really do such a thing, would you, Jason?” Isis asked.

“Of course he would, you silly girl,” Everett said. He was the only one there not romanticizing Jason Chanz, and it was downright frustrating. “Or were you so busy making eyes at him that you suddenly forgot what he did for a living? He is an assassin. Do you think they make their money picking flowers and singing songs to woodland creatures?”

Isis sat down on a log, crossed her legs, and looked away. “There’s no need to be mean.”

“Were you really making eyes at Jason?” Cameron whispered to her. Though not softly enough. Everett could still hear.

“Ok, let’s concentrate here,” Everett said. “Goodman is interested in a document regarding something called Project Bellflower. It is in the possession of one of his competitors, a man named Merrit. We are to steal the document from Merrit’s safe, which I’m told he keeps in the wall behind the headboard of his bed.

“Now, Jason, do you think you could get up to the third floor window? That’s where his bedroom is, on the east side of the house.”

Jason tapped the knives strapped to his arms. “It is not a matter of could.”

Of course. It was a matter of would, and Jason would not do it. He was just being stubborn.

Everett turned to Isis. “Fine. Then, it’s up to you. I think you can make it through the front door.”

Isis exchanged glances with Jason. “Sorry, Everett, but I’ve played enough dress up for one day. If you want someone to charm his way through the front door, you will have to do it yourself. I will be busy here ‘making eyes’ at the fire,” she finished, then turned her back on him.

“Cameron?” Everett asked.

“Sure. What do you need me to do?”

Everett sighed with relief. Finally, someone who was not acting like a child.
