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.

Please come home early this afternoon so we can have dinner together. I promise that I will rest today so you don’t need to call from time to time to check on it.

He immediately went out, shouting orders over the radio, calling for his agents to assemble at the command center.He saw Malcolm talking with one of his men, looking down at the floor plan of the campus they were able to procure. He could hear them discussing possible entry points as he approached them.“We were able to infiltrate their CCTV system,” Malcolm informed when he looked up. “My men are just connecting the monitors to for visuals. Information so far, we had received that it’s a group of men, around ten of them.
