Shadow of Death, page 30
“Hmm.”
“Hmm?” she asked.
He smiled. “I wonder if Norwegian ghosts will speak any English.”
She smiled in return for a minute, and then she was dead serious. Her eyes were a true green he realized—like emerald lasers the way she was staring at him. “We’re going to make this work,” she told him.
“All right. We’re going to make this work. Partner.”
Her phone was ringing and she answered it quickly and told him, “Our plane is ready and the pilot is aboard. I understand the plane is great. So...”
“On to hours of reading in the air,” he said.
“We are going to work well together,” she vowed.
He forced himself to nod. He had been so uncertain; and then again, as Gideon had said, she had balls. And she was unorthodox.
He might even like her. He imagined she was an excellent agent, able to use her natural beauty and abilities in her investigations and takedowns.
Yeah, he liked her. But he was going to be careful.
He vowed he wasn’t going to like her too much.
Because nothing changed the fact there were kill-or-be-killed situations.
It wasn’t a good thing to become too involved with a partner—not in their line of business. He’d learned that the hard way. And he’d worked on his own—with plenty of backup, of course—for several years now. Working as a loner had its advantages.
He would have her back. And he’d try to be a team player.
He just couldn’t lose another partner.
