He and Dani share a nervous look, she trying much more fearful than Fox.

“Guys, I’ve this utterly beneath management.” I open my laptop computer. “The system I’m custom-building right here goes to be wonderful. I did the identical factor to my very own place in Boston.”

“You owned a 4.3-million-dollar home in Boston?” Dani asks.

“No, a rental close to—” I blink. “Is that how a lot this place prices? Good for you.”

She sighs loudly and stares throughout the counter at Fox.

“Let’s simply…” He waves a hand to try to calm her down. “Let’s give him the good thing about the doubt earlier than we make any calls.”

“Calls?” I ask. “What calls?”

He scratches nervously on the scar on his cheek. “We’re just a little involved…”

“About what?”

“In regards to the assassins who know the place we sleep, Boxcar.”

“Don’t be. They solely know the place you sleep. I made positive that they wouldn’t know Dani lives right here. And apart from, these two are going to be very busy for some time. I’ve a bounty hunter monitoring them down as we communicate.”

“There’s additionally a bounty hunter who is aware of the place I stay,” Fox argues. “On all counts, we must always most likely transfer once more.”

I shut my laptop computer to present them my undivided consideration. “Nobody is shifting wherever. Look—” I gesture behind me on the kitchen desk the place I’ve stacked packing containers upon packing containers of latest tech I purchased on my little buying spree this morning. “I’ve acquired new, non-shitty cameras to put in in each room of this wonderful mansion and in each nook of that excellent inexperienced garden of yours. Noise sensors, stress sensitivity plates, booby-traps — the works.”

Fox smirks. “And on what sleazy politician’s dime?”

I pause. “I’m going to plead the fifth on that one, but it surely doesn’t matter. Simply take into account it a beneficiant donation or… hush cash, if you’ll.”

Dani’s little eyes develop wider with concern. “I’ll name the actual property agent,” she says to Fox.

“Nobody’s calling the actual property agent!” I chuckle. “Belief me, guys. After I’m carried out right here, this place will probably be an impenetrable fortress.”

The entrance door opens and a voice echoes in from the entrance corridor.

“Whats up?”

Fox glares at me because it closes.

“I mentioned, once I’m carried out,” I say.

Caleb steps into the kitchen from the hallway.

“It’s simply Caleb,” I say, pointing. “She’s largely innocent.”

She gestures over her shoulder. “Did you guys know your entrance gate is huge open?”

I flinch. “Okay, that was my unhealthy. Sorry.”

“I’ll go shut it,” Fox says, his voice dry as sand. “Then, I’ll get began patching up the bullet holes riddled all through my lounge.”

“Hey, I took a bullet in your home and I didn’t sue you,” I joke. “You ought to be grateful.”

“It was a graze.”

“Pfft, like anybody right here has had worse,” I problem.

Fox gestures at Dani together with his arduous eyes.
