Natasha monitored the security camera feeds with a knot of uncertainty in her stomach.
Aaron had instructed her to watch the feeds while he had gone into the mine to work on the reactor.
She shook her head and chuckled to herself: "I can't believe I'm pining to be by his side. Ugh! I need to focus and protect the compound!"
She took a deep breath, and focused on the feeds, her eyes scanning for any signs of trouble.
A small red flash from the feed window of a camera monitoring the main access road caught her attention. It showed a black SUV approaching the security checkpoint.
She quickly switched focus to the security checkpoint camera, picked up her phone, and called Andre.
"Mr. Esposito, you better come quickly. We have the FBI paying us a visit," she said as the SUV pulled up to the security checkpoint, its driver window rolled down and a woman in a black formal pantsuit showed the checkpoint guard an FBI badge.
