Betrayal
Chapter Four
Chris narrowed his eyes, giving Mary such a cold look that she inwardly
shivered. It was like he could see right through her. Strengthening her resolve,
she pushed all of her second thoughts away. Chris would thank her one day. He
would realize that he should be with her, not with another man.
"You do realize that what you're attempting to do is illegal, don't you?" When
Mary remained silent, Chris continued. "You are attempting to blackmail a
federal agent and are, more or less, threatening the life of another federal
agent. If you ever attempt to blackmail me again, I'll arrest you, throw your
ass in jail, and lose the key. Understand?" Chris opened the door and said, "Get
out before I decide to go ahead and arrest you."
Mary stared at him for a moment, before walking out of the front door and
leaving. Chris slammed the door shut and walked over to the couch, slumping down
on it. His headache was even worse than it had been. 'Bitch,' he thought as he
rubbed his temples. He had thought about going ahead and arresting her, but he
really didn't want to have to explain to the rest of his team and Judge
Travis why Mary was sitting in a jail cell. Besides, Mary was bluffing. She had
no way of finding out where Ezra was and she wouldn't intentionally blow his
cover. She knew she would end up in prison.
With that thought, he decided to take a couple of Aspirins and go to bed.
