36 Bottom of the glass (1/2)

He looked at the bottom of the glass as if he thought he was finding something crucial there. Sam shifted nervously in her seat. ”Let's go.” She asked him.

Carefully, he licked the last salt crystals from his skin. Sam hastily looked away. The sight of his tongue caused a pleasant tug in her abdomen.

Brutus leaned back and casually rested his arm on the back of the couch. He looked at Sam. Again these unnaturally bright eyes with their intense look. Sam reached for the tequila bottle and hoped he had not noticed the contradictory feelings his eyes stirred in her.

The glasses clinked softly as Sam pushed the bottleneck against the edges. She cursed inside. Brutus was an attentive observer. He would immediately comment on how easy it is to see through Sam once again. Again and again he trained with the highly emotional Sam to get her feelings under control. Sometimes it worked, but mostly he could read it like a book. Sam paused for a second to gather and then looked at him calmly.

”This is not training, Sam.” he spoke softly to her.

”Then finally get down to business.” Sam pushed out uncontrollably, to annoy himself at the same moment.

Brutus straightened his shoulders. If you follow my instructions, Lapuente will invite you to his office on Saturday, and there's going to be a letter opener on his desk that's written by me ... - well, let's say I have Then you use the intercom on his desk, you wait in his office until I get you, I'll take you out the staff entrance, Anita is waiting for you in the woods with a car. ” He shrugged his shoulders. ”That's it.”

Sam looked at him seriously. ”What will become of you?”

He laughed bitterly. ”I will be the faithful follower and lead a search party to find the spot where you destroyed the outer fence and fled, this spot is in the opposite direction, so you and Anita have enough time to dilute. ”

”What about the rest of the guards?”

”Half will not be on duty Saturday due to gastrointestinal upset, with the remainder on duty being all inexperienced greenhorns, so there should not be major issues.”
