“What the hell is this?”
“It’s the notes from the meeting.” I pulled the notepad back. “It’s code.” I shrugged.
He stood there for several minutes as I started to type.
“Corey,” he murmured.
I looked up then, gave him a small smile and went back to typing. I’d have to explore all of the documents after this and look at how the reports are written and then go from there with what Kitty gave me.
“I’ll be back in a couple of hours,” Tyson said from the doorway. I swung my head up, I hadn’t realized that he had crossed the room.
“Okay.”
“You’ll be okay?”
“Yes,” I said.
As soon as he was gone, I leaned back in the chair and blew out a big breath. I scanned the photos on the wall, Tyson and Corey stood with arms around each other as they grinned wide.
I think that would be my new favorite picture.
Chapter Six
Tyson seemed impressed with the way I wrote all of the reports so I’d say my first day was a success. It was such a small thing, but to me it was huge; to have someone be impressed and to feel valued was a big deal to me.
My second day went even better than my first. I took notes at the meeting like I had the day before, using my secret code. My stomach dipped when I noticed Tyson watching me as I wrote with a grin on his face. He always wore a fierce expression but when his lips lifted his whole face changed. I shook my head, looked down and concentrated on the meeting.
Kitty told Tyson what she had found when she checked out the meeting point.
“It’s gonna be a nightmare to watch it. The only viable option is the building there.” She pointed to an area on the map and then placed several photographs on the table.
I leaned forward to get a better look. The first was a photo of the building, it looked like it had once been a factory of some sort but it was now long forgotten.
The second was taken from a window inside the building, you could see almost everything from that point. The problem was, there were so many hiding places that any meeting could be easy to miss.
“It’ll have to do,” Tyson said.
They arranged what time they needed to be in place tomorrow night to watch it, then Luke and Kitty left to set up the rest of the equipment while me and Tyson went back to the office. I knew what I needed to do by now, so I started typing up the meeting as Tyson pulled open the drawer to the filing cabinet.
“What’s it like?” It was out of my mouth before I’d even registered that I’d spoken.
“Hmm?”
“To do what you do?” He shut the drawer and turned to me. Those eyes watched me, the tension around his eyes was unmistakable.
“Dangerous,” is all he said, then walked out.
I looked down, afraid that I had offended him. I really did need to think before I spoke. It was an innocent enough question, but he obviously didn’t like it. I just found it so interesting what they did here. I knew that I hadn’t scratched the surface with what they did and I couldn’t help but be drawn to it.
I spent the next couple of hours typing things up, at one stage I went into the filing cabinet to put something away and decided that I’d re-organize it. First, I made piles for each person and then I put them in alphabetical order.
I just hoped that Tyson didn’t mind me doing that. It was me that was working in the office all day, so it made sense to me that I organized it in a way that made things easier.
I bent down to put the last of the files away when I heard. “Daaaamn, that’s a fine sight.”
I spun around, the files scattering along the floor as my eyes met his. He was leaning against the door with his feet crossed at the ankles and his arms folded over his chest. A wide grin spread on his face as his honey eyes scanned me from head to toe.
“You scared me.” I narrowed my eyes at him when he grinned wider.
