Chapter 57

I figured that while I had the opportunity to speak with Zeller, I should clue him into something I’d noticed.

“Hey,” I said, as I approached. I kept my back toward the building, where I knew there was no one, so that I could keep scanning the area. Zeller glanced around, like maybe he thought I was talking to someone else, before he took a few steps closer and gave me a nice smile.

“Hey,” he responded jovially. “Thanks for doing such a good job. We really appreciate it.”

I blinked, nonplussed. I hadn’t had much occasion to speak directly to Zeller over the past few weeks. I guess his reputation as a genuinely good guy was not unfounded. All I could do was nod. I was, after all, just doing my job.

“You and Logan, you’re trying to keep things quiet, right?”

Now it was his turn to be startled. He blinked wide gray eyes at me as he slowly nodded. I fought to keep the smug grin from my face.
