Renee smiled politely as Hunter held out the seat for her, the two heading to a nearby restaurant for the lunch hour; the blonde woman merely explaining to Amy that she wouldn’t be able to meet her, Alex and Chris but not giving away much else.
“So, I’m sure you’re wondering why I’m here.” Hunter, said as he opened his menu. “Or maybe wondering why this information was never disclosed in the first place.”
“Whatever you’re willing to tell me, Agent Helmsley.”
The blond man smiled, “you can call me Hunter while we’re out of the office. Or Mr. Levesque while we’re around others in Fortune.”
Renee nodded, smiling a little, “habit I guess.” A pause, “so, that information that Amy and I obtained…”
“That was all your doing,” Hunter assured, “I had nothing to do with that. But I am a double agent and according to their records, I operate a small branch in DC.”
“The one that never really gets investigated because it’s a ghost branch,” Renee surmised properly, closing her menu when she found something she wanted. “Could you possibly tell me what this branch is going to be doing?”
The blonde man nodded, “to the best of my knowledge, they’ll mostly focus on the gun trade and drug trafficking. Illegal gambling seems like child-play to them, but that usually serves as the front for their day to day operations.”
The blonde woman frowned, “so why go through all of the trouble with setting up a fake business?”
“Money laundering, stocks, they can make more business deals… plus, they need drivers to transport their goods throughout the city.”
“I see. I’ll pass this information on to Agent Dumas later.”
Hunter adjusted his suit jacket, “I’m surprised that Amy isn’t here with Mr. Cage.”
Renee smiles faintly, “I was supposed to meet her for lunch, but obviously plans change.”
Hunter nodded, “I should forewarn you that your lunch hour will usually be spent with myself and others from Fortune. They want to keep close tabs on their employees, especially the new hires.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Several blocks away, Amy was having lunch with Alex and Chris, having informed the two that Renee wouldn’t be joining them due to a work related obligation.
“How’d your interviews go?” Amy questioned the two, Alex seated next to her while Chris sat opposite.
Chris shrugged, “well enough. They didn’t really ask us a lot of questions though.”
Alex watched Amy’s hand, the redhead toying with the cloth napkin. “How did yours go?”
Amy half shrugged, “not too bad.”
Alex nodded, not entirely convinced. “Really? Then what’s bothering you?”
Amy shook her head, “nothing’s bothering me.”
He covered her hand with his, “don’t act like that, Ames.”
Chris coughed into his hand, “I’m just going to the bathroom.”
“Seriously, what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing I can’t handle.”
Alex frowned slightly, “then what happened to get you upset?” A pause, “and don’t tell me it was nothing, I’m not blind and I’m not stupid.”
Amy pressed her lips together for a moment, “just the person I’m going to be working for, that’s all.”
“What about him?”
“I really don’t want to go into it right now, ‘Lex..” She trailed off, nibbling lightly on her lower lip. “Maybe I’m just overreacting.”
The brunette kissed the corner of her mouth, “if anything happens, you’ll tell me right?”
She smiled a little, kissing him fully, “of course I will.”
Nearby, Chris smirked, “now see? If the two of you had just come out with it before, you could have been acting all lovey-dovey.”
Alex and Amy exchanged a look, each picking up their menus, reaching across and hitting Chris with them; the waitress finally arriving to take their orders.
