Kay Reed left the sofa and approached the boys. Cody admired her legs and thought the dress she wore was a nice shade of blue that matched her eyes. He and Romeo each wore a black suit with striped ties. Romeo’s shirt was white while Cody’s was more of a cream color.

They looked like a pair of young businessmen about to have a casual meeting with a new client, which is what they were. However, in their business the client was supposed to never be seen or to have an opportunity to see you.

The boys were breaking that rule because they were interested in the contract. It did not hurt things that Mrs. Cromwell was willing to offer a fantastic fee for their services.

“Hello,” Kay said a bit breathlessly. Afterward, she gestured to their host, as she was about to make introductions. Kay laughed when she realized that she didn’t know the boy’s names. “What should we call you?”

Romeo smiled. “I’m Romeo and he’s Xavier.”

“And what are your surnames?” Mrs. Cromwell asked. She had a strong voice which carried with it a tone of authority.

“I’m Xavier Zane, ma’am, and my partner’s last name is Slade.”

An amused look crossed Kay Reed’s face as she looked at Romeo.

“Your last name is Slade and you’re an assassin?”

“Fitting, hmm?” Romeo said. His last name wasn’t really Slade, but he had chosen it as an alias because he had thought it amusing as well.

Mrs. Cromwell gestured to a pair of chairs that were positioned across from the sofa she was sitting on. Between the chairs and the sofa was an ornate coffee table with a silver tea set on it, as well as an assortment of pastries.

“Please sit so that we can discuss the matter at hand.”

The boys took the offered seats, but they did so only after repositioning them at an angle, so that they could have a peripheral view of what was behind them.

Kay retook her seat beside Mrs. Cromwell then gestured at the older woman. Estelle Cromwell was sixty, still possessed great beauty, and had dark hair with streaks of white. Like Kay, her eyes were blue but in a lighter shade. Although she had yet to stand, it was obvious that she was tall for a woman.

Regal, Cody thought. The lady looks regal. He wondered if it was the surroundings that gave him that impression of her or something within the woman herself.

“Mrs. Cromwell was upset with me when I told her that I had decided to track you down. I want you to understand that it was not her idea.”

“We get that,” Romeo said. “You’re a reporter, and a damn good one from everything I’ve found on the web about you. I’ve also started reading that book you wrote about Green Wrath. It’s no wonder they want you dead. You didn’t pull any punches.”

“Which of these young men kissed you, Kay?” Mrs. Cromwell asked.

Kay reddened as she nodded toward Cody.

“He was trying to keep me from calling for help.
