No.
Shock.

“Can you do me a favor?”
He wasn’t sure where this was going.
“What?”
“Stay at the hotel and don’t leave. I have to get bodies that we need to cover up shipped to Chris in DC, then head out to pick up a shipment of guns, and…”

“These are all conversations I never thought I’d hear in my whole life, especially not as a cop.”

“I can. You think we’re in danger?”
“I think Artemis Dubois is a chilly cuntcicle who would love to make me bleed.”

“Okay, I’ll handle that. I’m still waiting on intel from Maura to come in. I don’t think Remington got back yet.”
She looked at her watch.

“Yeah, I believe so.”
“Good. Keep it that way. Callen texted me to LoJack you anyway possible. Don’t go MIA. He will get his Native ass on a flight here.”
She didn’t doubt that.

The man approached.
“Director Blackhawk?”
She shook his hand.
“Doctor Strong?” she asked.
He nodded.
