Just as they were finishing dinner, Sadie sat up straighter and grinned.
“What’s up, Little one?” Rocco asked her.
She leaned to one side and lifted her hip. A moment later, she held up her phone. “My cell is buzzing with an incoming message. When we’re all together like this, it usually can only mean one thing.” She read the message and grinned. “Yep. There’s a package upstairs from Kingsley. I’ll go get it.” She pushed her seat back and rose.
“I’ll go with you, Cookie,” Rocco said as he joined her.
“Who’s it addressed to?” Phoenix called out.
Sadie turned around in the elevator and shrugged, leaving them all to wonder while she and Rocco were gone.
No one moved, spoke, or even breathed heavily while the two were gone. Juniper watched as Phoenix and Caesar sat up straighter when the elevator returned.
Sadie grinned as she hurried across the room and handed the package to Phoenix.
“See,” Caesar exclaimed, “I was right.”
Phoenix took a deep breath, dumped the padded envelope onto the table, and picked up the note.
Phoenix Duggan, your marker has been called into effect. Here is your assignment. Protect Lyra Bloom. The encrypted drive contains all the background information I can provide you.
