The conversation was already over.
Dev was already walking away.
Chapter 38
Kieran
I leaned back in my chair, thinking hard.
“What do you think?” Dev asked. Elliot looked intrigued.
“It’s a solid lead.”
“So, this dinner, you want me to search the office for some files?” Sable asked, her feet up on the table.
“Can you hold it long enough to do that?” Elliot asked.
“I’m getting better. I can hold it for a few hours now.”
“I’m sorry, hold what?” Seph asked at the end of the table, looking a little sullen.
Sable sighed and turned. “My ability. I can use the UV light to make myself appear invisible. I may be able to transfer it to other people soon enough.”
“It’s why her call sign is Phantom.” I said finally.
Sable grinned at me. “I’m just a regular, neighbourhood ghost.”
Seph stared at her, confused. “That’s …incredible.”
Sable softened. “Thanks. It’s pretty handy in the field.”
“So, you are just going to walk in there?”
“More or less. Dev knows where the cameras are. I can avoid them.”
“My house is a disgusting monstrosity up in the highlands of Telluride. There are at least twenty cameras around the perimeter, and there’s a regular patrol of soldiers. If Dominic is coming, this number will double,” Dev said.
“That doesn’t sound possible, Dev,” Seph said, frowning.
He looked at her. “I know every inch of that place. Trust me.”
“You will tell your father you are considering the company. Keep them talking as long as you can. Sable, you will need to find a way in that is not the front door.”
“Show me a blueprint and I’m there,” she replied.
“We’ll keep a wire on you Dev. We need a code word if Dominic leaves.”
“How about lunacy? What happens if you get caught? What happens if you can’t get out?” Seph demanded. “You need back up!”
I looked at her. “Seph, you don’t need to be here for this.”
She glared at me. “I’m sure you’d love that.”
“Kieran will be on call if crap goes sideways. We will also have a team nearby to extract you, Dev if you need us. Code word is ‘new daggers.’ Say it and we come in.” Elliot said.
Dev nodded.
“And what about me?” Seph asked.
