tight high ponytail, and walked back into our room. My boots were next to my bed where I left them. I smiled when I saw Mia walking into the room with her hair wrapped up in a towel. She doesn’t look like a zombie anymore.
“Welcome to the world of the living. You aren’t a morning person are you?”
Mia laughed before she said, “Hell no! I need about a pot of coffee before I get my ass going in the morning.”
I laughed while I finished lacing up my combat boots checked my shoulder holster, and pulled the clips from my pistols to make sure they were locked and loaded I said.
“Speaking of coffee, let’s go see if they have any down in the kitchen. A safe house without coffee is like a biker without his bike.” She laughed and followed me into the kitchen.
Sylvia was in a chair in the foyer. She looked sleepily at us as we walked down the stairs.
I looked at my watch as I stepped off the last stair.
“Go ahead and get some sleep Sylvia, we’re up now. We’ll take the final watches for the morning shifts.”
Sylvia gave us a small tired smile and walked slowly up the stairs. I looked at the schedule and crossed the last four names off the list and added both Mia’s and mine to the last slots.
I looked over to Mia as I said, “Why don’t you go make us some coffee, and I’ll check all of the entry points and camera’s?”
Mia nodded and walked away. I started going through the checklist of camera’s that had to be checked. I slowly looked at all of them, and signed the log book with my signatures. Shortly after I sat down, Mia came out of the kitchen with two hot cups of coffee for us.
I smiled at her as I took it in my hands, felt the warmth and enjoyed the smell of the black life blood. I sat back in the chair and just looked at the monitors.
Mia broke the silence. “I was scared to come on this mission with you. I didn’t know if I could be put around people like that again without getting upset. But I’m happy I chose to come with you, because if I didn’t I would never have forgiven myself for being a coward. Thank you for believing in me Rebecca.”
I put my coffee down, leaned in and gave Mia a big hug. She pulled me tight against her and held me for a moment before we let go.
All of a sudden I noticed a black blur on the camera outside the back door. I stopped and focused on the one camera, making it larger. But the movement wasn’t obvious until I saw the trash can fall over. Our intruder was a large silver raccoon just looking for a morning snack.
I laughed and shook my head, un -zoomed all of the cameras and continued our watch.
“Hey Rebecca, how many times have you been on a mission like this?”
I thought for a second and answered her. “Umm, I’ve been on 7 missions. The one in Savannah was my first Solo, undercover mission. But missions like this I’ve been on 7.”
Mia took a few sips of her coffee before she said anything else.
“I haven’t been on any for about ten years now. I’ve only been on two missions in my career. I’ve been perfectly happy riding the pine desk through my career. I honestly thought I would end up retiring with the damned thing shoved up my ass, I’ve been at it so long.”
I laughed in response, then said. “Well if you do well on this one with me, there is no reason why you can’t become my partner, and go with me more often. If I had a partner on my last mission I probably wouldn’t have got as hurt as I did. So make sure you give it your all. I know I’m going into the club house alone this time, but make sure you keep your ear to the mic, so I don’t get killed– OK?”
Mia shook her head yes and said.
“I’d love to be your partner. I’ll keep an ear out just for you. Nothing is going to happen to you in the clubhouse. That’s bad for business. Get in, and get out.”
I finished my watch and went upstairs to look at my weapon stash. Just as I was packing my back gun into my pants, I heard my cell. Gavin was
