“ W ait, what?” Bo blurted. “What did you say?”
“The bureau has hired The Agency many times to eliminate threats to our country. Of course, we use aliases,” Umber explained.
“Uh…” I mumbled.
“For instance, Judge Baxter? Us.”
“I…what?” I stammered because…huh?
“Therefore, The Agency is a protected entity. I couldn’t arrest you all even if I wanted to. I don’t want to, by the way.”
“That means…all this time, you knew?” I asked.
“That you were an assassin? No. I knew you didn’t give a damn about a facial, though. You picked the world’s worst cover,” Umber advised me.
“You ain’t lying about that,” Lilith agreed.
“Fuck both of y’all,” I gritted.
“Anyway, I figured it out a while back. I noticed a gun at your ankle sometimes. Plus, you give off murdery vibes,” Umber continued.
“Wow,” I said.
“And I know about Ray and Bo. I also know you lowkey frisked me when I arrived today, Ray, and that you’re using a cell phone jammer right now,” Umber shared.
“Damn, I was hugging you, not frisking you, sis-in-law,” Ray lied.
“Nigga, please,” Umber retorted.
“So…you don’t be hiking and picking weeds?” I asked.
She rolled her eyes. “I do hike and forage , but catching bad guys is what pays the bills.”
“Damn, if Daddy only knew about his girls,” Lilith mused.
“Right,” I said.
