“During the course of this investigation, you will answer to me,” Braddock stated flatly. “You will do exactly what I say when I say. No exceptions. Period. There will be no second chances. Do we understand each other?”
Todd wondered briefly how much of his military time Mr. Braddock had spent as a drill sergeant. “Perfectly.”
Braddock pushed in Todd’s direction what on first glance gave the impression of a simple typed report. “This is your cover profile. Study it. Preparation is the key. I’ll pick you up at eight in the morning. If you’ve changed your mind, you will notify Victoria prior to that time and save us both the unnecessary trouble.”
Why the hell was everyone so concerned with whether or not he would change his mind?
“Don’t worry, Braddock,” Todd replied without reservation, dropping the “mister” as the older man had done when addressing him. “I won’t change my mind.”
The hint of a smile cracked the man’s no-nonsense exterior. “Maybe you’d better read the profile before you make that decision.”
The big guy pushed out of his seat. “Take the rest of the afternoon off, Thompson. Consider long and hard whether you’re cut out for this line of work. The Colby Agency employs only the best. Ask yourself one defining question. Can you, no matter the circumstances or personal sacrifice, be the best?”
Todd didn’t get up. He just watched the other man leave. Then he picked up the single page that outlined his cover for this assignment.
“Might as well see what all the fuss is about.”
Nothing Victoria or Braddock could have said would have properly prepared him for the blow to his ego.
