“Enjoying yourself?” Paul asked him.


“So far, although that might change tomorrow when you all put me through my paces.”


“I doubt it. You’re ex FBI and they don’t put people in the field who can’t handle what’s thrown at them.”


“True.” Van frowned worriedly. “I think my problem will come when I have to circumvent the rules they drummed into me about staying legal, no matter what.”
