“Charlize will be here tomorrow. You’re the only two I know I can count on for this. You won’t tell me it’s crazy or too lofty. That we can’t do it. I know you two have history.”

“We don’t have history. We have an atom bomb implosion behind us that we can’t just come back from. Even for this.”

“Give it a chance. This is bigger than just our own things.”

“She knows I’m here? She knows we’re working together.”

“Not yet.”

He let out a loud laugh. “Then I don’t have to worry at all. You’re the one who will be in for it when she finds out.”

“I’ll handle Charlize. Just read up on that information and be ready.”

“Good luck. Most people who try to handle Charlize end up dead.”

“I promise a vacation after this one.” She patted his shoulder gently. “If we’re not all dead.”

He shrugged and smiled as he flipped through the information. “Dead is a good night sleep anyway.”
