"Evie"

I turned to see Coop frowning at "

He pointed, "I can tell by the stea off your head"

I flipped hi about it all that doesn’t quite er picture,so lucky and how did he get involved in the first place?"

Coop cocked an eyebrow, "What?"

I waved a hand at hi aloud, "What if Ja the Master Key fro me because he was a plant frouess at who the Burrow’s protector was? We both know he accidentally got nant and married me because he had to, but honestly, what if it was all an act? What if hi in the CI was the act? What do we for sure know about him?"

Coop sat in the spot I had been, the only spot without any pigeon shit "We knoas an only child to two older parents Both are dead now, but they were at your wedding They got sick and died of cancer in the last couple years, did they not?"

I frowned, nodding, "You know, I always thought it eird they both got cancer I alas scared for my kids"

He nodded, "It is weird, but not uncoets his in with the Burrow What if he was a plant from the start, like a kid plant? What if he isn’t loyal to our country? What if he’s a spy, like a real one who’s leftover froht scoff at the idea but he didn’t He sat there, thinking I could see stea off his head after a minute, "If he was a plant from the start, he must have been planted in the US when he was a kid or picked up as a young cadet He was a cadet, wasn’t he?"

I nodded, "He was He always busts on Mitch for not wanting to be a cadet"

Coop sighed, "Fuck, if he’s a real spy, not just a sold-out double agent, then we haveto back us up We are in too deep now We can’t blow our cover and ask for aid without risking your kids and God knohat else"

I put a hand up, "We take this down, just us"

"Just us and Servario?"

I shook my head, "No, just us I don’t want to ask him for help until we knohat his plan is He’s to aloof and sneaky"

"It’ll go faster if we use Servario to lead us to Ja James I want him dead just as badly as you do"

I slumped on the seat next to him, almost on him to avoid the poop, "Fine But I want you to know I’et hurt"

He shook his head, "I know she was protecting you"

I looked at my feet, "She and James knew each other"

His face jerked to face ers

’Meet ht at dusk at Caesar’s Curia!’

He read the note as I ht have been lovers He asked her if I knew about them He said she was still just as beautiful as before and heto that effect"

Coop’s face was stoic, but I could see his eyes were on fire He got up fast, bolting froine hoould all work out How I could find the agent I once was and let go of the ht The only way to end it was to becoot up and walked to the door, slowly cutting the ties to my emotions and worries
