Chapter 249

THE CHIME FROM ACROSS the room stirred Fiona from her near sleep.

It was important.

Wasn't it?

She picked her head up off Marco's shoulder and blinked. She'd dozed. Must have. Her jeans cut painfully into her hip from the way she'd twisted her body, and sleeping in a bra had to be a crime against humanity, but Marco had insisted they be ready to run at the drop of a hat.

He was right.

Even if she had wanted to lay around naked for a bit longer.

The temperature in the room had shifted. It was warmer. Marco's skin was sticky and her body felt tacky despite the quick shower.

Fiona slipped off the side of the bed and circled around to the vanity.

She had the password.

She was into the NueEnergy servers.

"Marco."

She tapped the keys, fully awake now. There wouldn't be much time once she got in. Even doing her best to remain stealthy would only go so far.

"Hm?" He sat up, swinging his legs over the side of the bed.
