Part 10
Once the guy was escorted out the boss gave us a nod before leaving with the guards, so we stood around and visited a little bit. Everyone was curious about how Charlie convinced the boss to keep me, what I am good at and why I was hiding.
Charlie answered the questions but didn't fully answer them at the same time, if that makes any sense. He made sure they were happy with his answers but still kept my privacy.
"So how good are you lady? I mean we have profilers already, what makes you so special?" one of the men asks, he's an older man but very much in shape with salt and pepper hair. He is very good looking and could be a model if he wasn't in the mob.
"Well considering she already saved my uncles life once today I'd say she's pretty damn good." Marshal answered as he walked over to us, he had just walked in when they were questioning me.
"I don't feel I am anything special, but yes I found two spys. The two men watching the boss's door weren't his regulars." I confirmed.
"How the hell did you pick them out? You don't know who is who around here yet?" the same man asks again, I take a moment to study him before answering him because he is either very cautious and paranoid or he is hiding something.
His movements weren't sketchy, so I don't believe he has any ill intent but he is not a very trusting man. He has been hurt or betrayed by someone he felt was close to him. Judging by the way he keeps eyeing the interaction between me and Chuck I would bet he was hurt by someone who was a lover or spouse.
"If you must know.." Charlie put his hand up, cutting me off.
"It doesn't matter how she did it. Just know she did it, she has pleased the boss and now we have to go get ready to get information on someone for the boss tonight." he dismissed everyone, Marshal just sat grinning as we walked out. I caught his eyes and he mouthed 'trust Charlie' before he disappeared behind the door.
We went straight back to the room, when we got to the door there was a box with my name on it. I pull off the envelope and it was a letter from Jenny.
N,
I figured since you were gonna be sticking around a bit you needed some female things that I'm sure your man never thought of. Think of this as a care package from someone you can call a friend in this cut throat world.
Jenny
We both read the note and he chuckled before picking up the box and letting us into the room. I was excited to see what she deems essential items, wasting no time I pulled open the box and she thought of everything!! There were shaving products, my own girly bathing products, including bubble bath, smelly oils, bath bombs and facial treatments, tampons and pads, hair products, hair accessories, jewelry, makeup, lotions, creams and everything like that. Its like she raided the female department of Walmart.
Grabbing a towel this time, some clean jammies, a couple hair ties, the razors, shaving cream, bubble bath and a facial treatment I smile at Charlie as I walk past into the bathroom without saying a word. Running the water to the perfect temperature I pour some bubbles into the tub as I strip down and wrap my hair up into a bun on the top of my head before applying the face mask.
I turn off the taps and step into the tub, lowering myself down slowly until everything except my head is covered. The smell of the vanilla and eucalyptus relaxing my mind and body all at the same time. I sit back with my eyes closed as I just relax, no heavy thoughts, nothing serious just the smell of relaxation and the feeling of my body becoming jello.
I lay like that until I can feel myself almost fall asleep, then deciding to shave I clean up the stubble off my legs and arm pits. Nice and smooth, by now the bubbles are almost all gone so I lather up the puff that came with the body wash and stand up so I can clean my whole body. Once I was all soaped up I sat down and rinsed off.
I get out dry off and get into my jammies, they are just a pair of spandex shorts and a tank top with the built in bra. Something comfortable to sleep in especially since I normally sleep naked, no chance in hell I am doing that here.
I clean up the bathroom and set my stuff to the side with the intention to clean it up completely, heading out into the bedroom to see Charlie with no shirt on, his jeans undone and pacing the room speaking angrily at someone.
"Fuck that shit." with that he hung up the phone and threw it onto the bed cursing under his breath. I went over to him and wrapped my arms around his waist from behind giving him a hug, he looked like he really needed one. I felt him take a deep breath in and out before turning around in my arms and wrapping his arms around me and holding tight. I just stayed like that and let him calm down.
After a few minutes I felt his heart rate slow down and his body sag a little bit, taking him with me I went towards the bed. Pushing him down playfully I crawled in beside him where he lay and cuddled up to him, he didn't hesitate in wrapping his arms around me and pulling me close.
We lay that way for a few moments enjoying the feeling of holding one another, my head laying on his chest just listening to his heart beat. I give him a few moments of relaxation before breaking the silence.
"Feel better?" I ask qietly.
"Thank you Gnome, I just got upset because apparently the boss wants more people with us, which completely fucks up my plans for tonight. But he thinks we need extra protection, the guy were getting information on is not someone to take lightly. My original plan was to have just us going out for a meal and taking the chance to get to know each other, make it a date." he sighs heavily knowing his plan was out the window.
"So can we save it and have a guy and girl go with us to make it look like a double date?" I ask, trying to salvage his plans and cheer him up. He thinks about it and makes a call to his boss to confirm if two others is a good plan.
"Yes sir, if we take to many people it may look suspicious." he pauses before answering, "No sir I do not want to risk lives unnecessarily but at the same time if we go in with to many people he is going to know instantly then we are going to be in even more trouble." the boss speaks again before Charlie finishes the conversation, "Yes sir, thank you. I will put a team together and we will do that. Thank you." with that he hangs up the phone and grins at me.
"You are a fucking genius baby girl! He agreed to it, so how do you think this should work out?" I was super impressed he was asking my opinion, even though I have never done something like this ever before.
"Well first lets get two people you trust to be our company and then we can all work out something because we shouldn't be interacting with this person but just to be safe we need some kind of back story to go with our double date." he nods his head and picks up his phone and sends a few texts out.
"We will wait and see who agrees, there are a couple people who could pull this off seamlessly, but it all depends what we want to do." his phone beeps and he grins before taking my hand and pulling me to my feet.
"Were going to the strategy room to meet Chet and his girlfriend Shania, Jenny and Marshal." I quickly throw on a pair of jeans over top of my shorts before we head out. He holds the door open for me, then once down the hall he takes my hand and pulls me next to him.
