“Zora said it wasn’t a problem…”
“Since when is Zora in charge of us?”
Harper winced. Jamie was hitting the nail on the head repeatedly.
The Aegis Group team was valuable to the Task Force because they could operate outside the bounds of law enforcement when necessary. They didn’t have the same red tape tripping them up. But Jamie was right, the team answered to Logan, who worked with Zora.
This was the tricky part.
Clearly Zora hadn’t explained it away.
Damn it.
“Look, Logan and Kelsey…”
“Nah, man. I get it.” Jamie chuckled. “He’s not happy, but I don’t know what you’d do if you were here, anyway. It’s dead around here.”
“Oh, yeah?”
“Yeah. I thought we’d be doing more,” Jamie said slowly.
This sucked.
For the first time Harper couldn’t talk about the job openly. How was he supposed to do this?
“When will you be back?” Jamie asked.
“Not sure.”
“Everything okay?”
“Yeah, fine.”
“Okay, then why the need to rush off like that?”
“Because if I hadn’t Logan would have come up with some reason not to.”
Jamie barked a laugh. “You’re right there.”
“Hey, Jamie?” Harper shifted in his seat. How to ask this?
“Yeah?”
No. Better not to ask. “Sorry, got to run. I’ll call TL later.”
Harper ended the call, cutting off whatever Jamie was saying.
Damn it.
Everything had sounded so easy sitting in Zora’s office. So damn easy. But now he was here and none of this felt right.
Thursday. Suleiman Household, New Orleans, LA.
Robin tiptoed down the stairs.
Was she going to get away with this?
She’d been home for almost three hours and had yet to see or hear anyone moving about the house. Though it wasn’t like, she’d gone looking. She’d slipped inside at almost seven-fifteen. The earliest Dad moved these days was seven-thirty, but with Uncle Daar here she expected everyone to rise late. No doubt they’d stayed up talking until the early morning. Dad didn’t function unless he slept a full eight hours.
