“Hey Connors! Why is your number coming up in my personal cell phone as no caller ID?” I asked.

“Just incase you were around anyone, we blocked the number here at the station,” Detective Connors replied.

“That makes sense. Thank you. What’s up?” I asked.

“Terry at Seals and Bounty called me this morning. He is on the line with us,” Detective Connors said.

“Oh, okay! Hey Terry,” I said.

“Hey Sergeant. I will make this quick. But do you remember meeting our friend and active duty Seal Matthew ‘Wolf’ Steele?” Terry asked.

“Yes, I remember,” I replied.

“Well, Wolf called last night with some information about the Torello organization. When I came to tell Connors, he said that you were undercover working on it with an ATF agent. Wolf and his team heard that the Torello ring is not just domestic, it’s international and Torello may not be the real head of the organization. His team is tracking a man in Russia that maybe supplying the Torello organization and a few others internationally. Wolf thinks that if we all work together we can bring Torello down in the states and this Russian down as well,” Terry said.

“Sounds like we all have our work cut out for us. Okay. How do you guys want to work this?” I asked.

“Well, you and the ATF agent keep working it from inside the organization. Seals and Bounty will investigate from the outside. Wolf and his team are going to keep us informed of their progress in Russia,” Terry said.

“Okay, I am meeting with Brandon, the ATF agent for lunch at 1130 at Sal’s Pizza & Subs. I will fill in him. Terry are you going to be our contact at Seals and Bounty and the go between with Wolf?” I asked.

“Yes that is correct. If it is okay with you that Connors gives me your number,” Terry replied.

“Okay, then let’s all get back to work,” I said as we hung up.

At 1110 I headed out the door to meet Brandon. Now the embarrassment from last night started to hit me. I have no idea what possessed me to kiss him good night like I did. Hopefully, he won’t mention it. I feel weird about it, but it was an amazing kiss. It is going to be an interesting undercover assignment. I have to keep Stacey and Bruce separate from Amelia and Brandon, but how is the question.

When I pull up, I saw him already sitting at a table by the window. I stop for a second or two and just take in the view. Why couldn’t he be some lanky ugly man!?

I walked in and went straight to the table and set down. Brandon was drinking a Bud Light, and he was looking on his phone when I set down at the table.

“Hey you!” he said with a smile and what a smile it was! “I wasn’t sure what you wanted to drink or I would have gotten you something.”

“Hey! It’s fine. For future references a Michelob Ultra!” I said with a giggle.

“I will remember that! Are you ready to order?” he asked.

“Yes. How about a pizza with everything but anchovies?” I ask.

“That works for me,” he said.

After we ordered, and he got another beer I told him about my phone call with Connors and Terry had to say about Torello and the Russian that Wolf’s Seal team are tracking.

“Looks like we all have our work cut out for us. Tomorrow though, how about a walk in the park?” he asked.

“That sounds wonderful. I will make us a picnic lunch,” I replied.

We finished eating, and he walked me to my car holding my hand. When we got there he opened my door for me and kissed my forehead and then leaned down and kissed my lips. I automatically parted them for him, you know, in case someone is watching us from the organization, and he slipped his tongue inside. All of a sudden my hormones went crazy, and I wanted more of this man. Instead, I stepped back and looked at him, licked my lips and got into my car and drove off. I looked back in the review mirror, and he was still standing there watching me drive away.

CHAPTERSEVEN

Brandon

It is a beautiful Sunday morning and Amelia, and I are going to the park at1230. I am going to pick her up at her apartment.

I did my normal routine and get up and make a cup of coffee and sat down on the couch to watch a little TV. My phone rang about 1100. It was my contact in the organization giving me instructions for another transaction of guns for Wednesday. I will tell Amelia about it at the park.

When I get to her apartment, one look at her and I wanted to grab her hand and take her into her bedroom. I have no idea what this woman is doing to me.
