Already, they knew it had to be dire.

Gene continued.

“Callen’s jet is still at the air strip there. Can you get your asses on it? So far, this killer took out one of her Marines, and then poisoned her secretary. He’s picking off whoever is notlocked down in order to get to one of us. Honestly, we’re worried for everyone. With one slip, one of us could be next.”

Jagger was curious.

“Do you have anything yet that we can use to begin tracking this person?”

That was the problem.

And he knew it.

“We’re still working on it. This is bad, guys. Like she’s about to go nuclear and either burn the world down or fall apart. One more thing and we’re worried about her sanity.”

At his statement, Jagger looked over at his wife to confirm what was just said.

“You have creds to get into the FBI buildings?” he asked.

She snorted.

“Dude, yes. You don’t?” she asked like it was a completely normal thing to question.

Jagger stared at his wife.

“You know damn well I don’t have creds. The only place you spend more time in than in trouble is in my wallet. You would have seen them.”

She laughed.

“I mean, you carry cash. A girl needs a sweet treat when she’s working. I don’t carry money, and where would I put my purse? Next to the bazooka?”
