“What did you say to him?” Natalie asked after they both calmed down.

“I told Evan to ask Ben what to do. He’s supposed to answer to him, and you, if necessary.”

Natalie chuckled. “Are you sure? He’s not going to get suspicious?”

“Why should he? He has no reason to be.”

“All right, all right. I just thought—”

Brian cut her off with his yawn. “I’m tired, Nat. I’ll see you tomorrow?”

“Sure. Get some rest. You’re still on for lunch tomorrow?”

“I’ll be there.”

He made a face when his friend made a kissing noise but of course she couldn’t see him. Brian hung up and tossed his cell phone aside.
