I kissed her.
“Hurry, you two,” Logan said from the doorway as he peered at the street outside. “I have to get her back before the spooks get spooked.”
“I’ve been researching more,” she said.
“No, you shouldn’t be…”
“Anyway,” she interrupted. “I kept following the money, and it’s scaring me.”
“What do you mean?”
I moved my hands to her waist.
“This smuggling operation made billions. It goes all the way to the top.”
“What do you mean all the way to the top? The President?”
“Okay, maybe not that far, but at least a general or too. Quite a few people got rich off Afghanistan.”
“Be careful.”
“We need to get going,” Logan said. “The clock is ticking.”
“You should just run. Get out of the city,” I grabbed her hands tightly.
“And go where? This is the FBI we’re talking about here. I can’t run from them.”
“They probably let us both out to watch us. We need to be careful.”
“We’re innocent, Cooper. It’ll be okay.”
“If only the world worked that way,” I said.
She stepped back.
“I’ll follow this last lead.”
“Let me come with you. We can do it together,” I suggested.
“No, that would be less safe. Think about it.”
“You’re right,” I said, unable to stop staring at her.
“I’ve been adding to an article as I find more information. This will be the story of my career, Cooper.”
“I believe in you,” I said then kissed her again.
“I’ll talk to you soon.”
“Wait about ten minutes, bro,” Logan said from the door.
“Thanks. I’ll get with you in a few days after things calm down. They have to know something was up tonight.”
“They’re not dumb,” he said.
After they left, I paced back and forth in the dusty lobby of the condemned hotel too shitty for even the poor bastards running amok in the city.
I have to save her.
