Chapter 285

CARSON STARED AT THE number on her phone.

That was Agent Walker.

Was he calling to say this was over? She was free to go back to her life?

She'd expected a sense of joy and relief, not sadness at the prospect of ending this charade.

"Hello?" She pressed the phone to her ear and gathered up her work things.

"Do you still have a digital copy of the summary you gave us?" Agent Walker asked.

"Uh, yes. It's at my apartment though." When she'd packed up to run she'd had a limited amount of time and a small list of essentials.

"We're going to need that."

"Can't you just-I don't know-make copies?"

"We need the electronic file."

"Then scan the hard copies and use a program to digitize the data."

"This is a highly sensitive operation, Miss Adair. We can't put classified information into just any program."
