Single Lady Spy 01 - The End of Me

you.”
    My teeth started to chatter as we floated in the water, “We know the commander is involved.”
    Coop nodded, “He’s been my only contact throughout the whole thing.”
    Luce nodded, “The eyes on the house. We know for sure that’s gonna be one team, following along. They wouldn’t risk the information getting out.”
    Servario licked his lips, making a face from the salt, “Don’t forget, there has to be a politician in on this. There is no way the commander got involved, without someone higher up putting it in his face. The only people who really knew about the Burrow were very high in the CIA, UN, MI6, and CI. One of them has opened this can of worms.”
    I thought and nodded, “We split up and take them out?”
    Coop gave me a look, “This is a top breach if we do it. We can be tried with espionage, treason, terrorism, and a variety of other really chargeable offenses. You in for that, with your kids?”
    I swallowed and looked at Servario. He shook his head, “She’s out. She isn’t negotiable. She is a civilian.”
    My eyes narrowed, “Are my kids safe?”
    He shook his head, “Doesn’t matter, you aren’t in.”
    I searched his face, “I’m in. This is my father’s work, my country’s work, my mother’s work, and if this ends, my kids can have normalcy again.”
    “You could die and leave them orphaned—or worse, get caught and shame them with the lies they charge you with.”
    I swam to shore, “We leave here in an hour. We need to figure out your situation first.”
    I knew who it was.
    I knew who the mole was.
    He came out of the water after me, “You aren’t in.”
    I looked back, “You ever sleep with Roxy?”
    He sighed, “I told you I won’t have you disrespecting her. I truly hired her for the cooking and the OCD. She is very clean. Yes, she’s pretty but I don’t like to mix business with pleasure.”
    I put my hands on my hips, “You mixed it with me.”
    He shook his head, “You have never been anything, but pleasure in my mind.”
    I bit my lip, “Roxy doesn’t know that.”
    He picked up a towel and dried himself off, “You think it’s her?”
    I dried off and walked up to the house, “She is it. She’s jealous.”
    He looked back at Coop, Luce, and Jack in the water, still plotting. He sighed, “No way. I never brought women on the plane, and I’ve never been that way with her.”
    I shrugged, “You fucked how many chicks on that yacht?”
    His eyes burned.
    I pointed at him, “I know what it’s like to see you with your whores; you’re a sex addict. What did you think? You think she was never gonna get tired of the constant, hardcore sexathons you had on board. She told me about them. Women coming on board to cum. She hates you for never picking her, and your obsession with me has only provoked it. I guarantee James got to her, she’s the weak link.”
    He looked sickened, “You are better at this, than I am giving you credit for.”
    I laughed at him, “No, you were blinded by the tight piece of ass, who you could pay to cook and clean and not have to spoon in the morning.”
    He didn’t laugh. He looked like he might actually be sick.

Chapter Sixteen – Blood debt

    We boarded the plane and, instantly, I felt sick. Roxy smiled and waved. Luce, Coop, and Jack were in the dark, but they were still cautious.
    “The pilot said he didn’t know where we were going?” Roxy said with a smile.
    Servario smiled at her softly, “No. I wanted to keep it our secret.” He walked past her to the pilot, who I had yet to see.
    A brief look of confusion crossed her face, as she went to the back of the plane. I liked her. I hated that she had betrayed a man she suspected of doing horrid things. She knew he was bad and, no doubt, feared quitting. Then James had come along and threatened her, using his government ties to bribe her into working with him. I can only assume it was how it happened, but I was willing gamble on it.
    Technically, she had made the right choice, the just choice. But my kids were part of the things that prevented me from helping her.
    I let her go to the back of the plane.
    I took my seat, my usual seat, and waited for us to take off, and for the shit to hit the fan.
    Luce gave me a grave look.
    I winked subtly.
    Steve hadn’t come. Servario had put him to work elsewhere.
    It was just Roxy, the mystery pilot, and us .
    I stopped paying attention to anything and everything. I had a sickening guilt twisting inside of me.
    I
