 Zach was waiting for them at the base.

“He’s still alive?” He raised his left eyebrow.

“He’s joining us.” Mara replied.

“Is that allowed?”

“I don’t know is it?” Florence answered.

“Ah Florence you have made another enemy by the way. One of our agents reported the death of Goodwin to his daughter Gwen; apparently she wanted to smash your head in.” Zach was amused by this.

“That cow.” She said out loud. “Did I just say that?”

Nick nodded. “That means, not only does she want you for killing her cousin Gavin, she wants you for killing her father too.”

“Wow, I didn’t know having enemies was so easy.” She said sardonically.

“So you did kill him?!” Mara exclaimed.

“No, it’s just I was sure Goodwin framed me but he didn’t know. So who did?”

“News travels, Victor, Kane and Karmin could be in on it.” Nick interjected

“But they’d need the help of an officer.”

“Maybe one of them is related to an officer and maybe he got Goodwin on the scene to arrest you.”

“So they could torture me in prison, they’d do anything to see me in prison, weak and vulnerable. Nick you are a genius.”

“Thank you.” He smirked.

“Have you two done flirting? I mean, what would Daniel think?” Zach interrupted them.

“Sir, that isn’t classed as flirting, it’s classed as being smart and working something out. Saying ‘Hey Sweet Thang’ is more flirting.” Nick corrected him.

Zach chuckled. “I like this guy already, welcome to the Operative.”

“I might cry.” He answered, Florence let out a little laugh at how Nick was so chilled in this situation. She had always envied his ability to be so laid back in stressful situations.

“Go to the gym and train, I’ll see you both later.” Zach walked out, Mara by his side.
