CHAPTER 20
Alex opened her eyes when her alarm clock sounded on an early Sunday morning. She turned off her alarm clock and remained lying on her bed. Instead of getting up to go for a longer run, which she always does on weekends, she had no desire to do that.
Thoughts of her interrogation with Zahid Kazmi has been bothering her ever since she had finished typing the report and submitting it to Montgomery. She kept on playing in her mind the interaction she had and relayed it to Damon when he met her at the park, late Friday night.
“There’s something not connected with what we are trying to investigate, Damon,” she commented softly. She placed down the recorder after playing it the fourth time. “The Triad Sentinel is a European organization. Scarlett Syndicate is not.”
Damon looked down at her.
“They network, Alex,” he chided gently. “Aren’t you supposed to know that? Saood will look for a way to come here undetected. He did that to you, remember? It nearly cos

Her bright, emerald eyes also made the male-dominated guests looked at her longer, on the verge of becoming ill-mannered.“Why do I have to be there?” Alex asked earlier after Zach had finished his breakfast at the diner.Zach, on Sundays, will usually spend his day in his apartment with Jacinta or would go out for a drive and eat outside.

Zach went through the glass doors of the bureau’s office building late morning of the following day after giving a short press conference the office of the congressman insisted, they do was done.

If you don’t mind me asking again?” Zach then said, turning to looked at the director calmly and waited for him to nod for approval. “You know that I asked about how you know A

Alex handed the menu back to the waiter after the order was finalized. She leaned back on her chair and watched as Damon added some appetizers for their lunch. She looked around the restaurant that is currently in its peak hour with the lunch crowd, coming in.“Last night I was cozying up with that FBI and now you’re having me cozied up with you,” she started sarcastically, looking at him pointedly when the waiter took off. “Is that part of Marshall’s plan as well?”“Your boss from hell came out a few minutes after you did,” Damon answered with a grin. “I’m simply putting on a show to make sure you will be having his attention once lunch is over. Besides, we look good together if I may say so.”She made a face and Damon laughed.“He’s interested on you, Walters. Now, you need to use that to your advantage. You have to win his side and if making him jealous is the way to do it, t

She took off her goggles and earmuffs. It was the following and the minute that she had arrived, she was ordered to head straight to the gym, towards the target shooting area where Zach is waiting for her.When she arrived at the venue, she was surprised to see that it was only Zach that is waiting for her.“Not my day, Mr. Montgomery,” Alex replied calmly as she took out the empty magazine and placed it on the ledge. “Or just a slow start for me today.”“Really? Well, I got the whole day, Walters,” Zach answered evenly. “Another round!”She stood rigid, looking at him stonily before turning back to her area and grabbed for another magazine, loading up the gun. She put on her goggles and earmuffs back, unlo

Zach watched Alex finally took off after scouting the vicinity to find a spot where he will assign a sniper to take up post and try to check if they can eliminate the hostage takers from above.“Have they given their demands?” He asked Malcolm, who is at the center.“Two get away cars at the back entrance with the tank full,” Malcolm answered seriously. “We can place a tracker on that so we can immediately locate them.”“Why do they need two?” Zach asked.“Diversion is my guess,” Malcolm replied.“Well, we’re dealing with some smart asses today,” Zach responded dryly as he took the megaphone from the table and stood up straight. He raised the megaphone to his mouth. “This is the FBI! I understand that you had demanded for two cars to be parked at the back entrance.”“Where are they, as$hole?!”One of the hostage takers shouted, who is

Thankfully, there are no customers inside. She stopped short when she saw Ashley, with her tear-stained face and looking shaken, she had a suspicion of what might have happened.

Zach watched tersely as Damon pulled out a chair for Alex to sit and accepted the jacket she took off. They entered a not so crowded Mediterranean restaurant and were led to a private booth seating at one side of the establishment that has full-height glass windows with a picturesque view of the garden the restaurant has.“Thank goodness it’s not crowded, considering it’s a Friday,” Jacinta commented after everyone has seated. She turned to Zach and smiled up at him. “Remember when you first took me here back then? I was so distraught that time after losing a patient on the table, and you decided to bring me here to wallow my frustration in food.”“Yeah, well I do know that food helps you feel better,” Zach replied with a smile. He turned to the two. “Have you experienced losing a comrade, Alex?”He noted that Alex shifted uncomfortably and saw Damon placed a hand on her knee that irritated him.
