“I don’t know. I only know where it’s going down.”
“Where?”
“The lake house. The one you were invited to.”
Mia nodded, stunned.
“I need you to go,” Greyson said.
“You heard Waterson. I’m off the case. Probably out of the FBI.”
“Waterson can’t know. We need to do this off the books.”
“Do what?”
“Find out what the deal is. If they’re willing to deal, they might be willing to join forces. And together, they’d be an unstoppable wave of crime not only in New York, but across the whole country.”
Mia considered this.“If Waterson finds out…”
“If we manage to stop this thing, Waterson will probably forget about what happened. Cracking a case like this will look very good for him in Washington.”
“And what about everyone else? I saw the way they looked at me back there. Have they all seen it?”
“No one’s seen that video apart from Waterson and me.”
“Why were they staring at me?”
“They heard yelling. That’s all.”
Mia was quiet, while she thought about everything Greyson was saying.
“What do you think about what happened?” She asked.
“I think you got carried away in the moment. Undercover work is extremely difficult. It takes time to learn how to separate undercover from reality. But as long as you know that it’s not reality, that the feelings aren’t real, then I think you’ll be fine.”
Mia wasn’t sure what to make of that. Were her feelings fake? They didn’t feel fake. She didn’t know.
“Alright,” Mia said.“I’ll do it.”
Chapter14
When Lorenzo had mentioned a lake house, Mia had pictured a quaint cabin, a bonfire, something small and calm.
But when they pulled up at the Rossi lake house, she realized just how wrong she’d been.
It was more of a lake mansion, on a lake estate. A huge, three storey house sat in the most prominent position on the lake, like a queen on her throne.
It was, of course, perfect -— perfectly painted, a perfect garden, not a thing out of place.
Lorenzo parked the car behind a row of others. Everyone else was here, it seemed.
He put a hand on Mia’s leg.
“You feeling okay?” He asked.
“Fine, why?”
“You’ve been really quiet. I know the last family get-together was hard for you.”
