Our eyes met across the room, and I realized with a shock that Eames was angry at me.
She continued talking calmly to Captain Deakins and Mr. Carver. She was defending my plan for catching the suspect in a lie. Neither seemed to notice anything wrong, but every time she glanced my way I got the evil eye.
If she agreed with me, why was she angry?
She barely waited until they left the room.
"Let me tell you how this is going to work, Goren," she said, hands on her hips.
"Uhh... work?"
"I like springing crazy stuff on Carver as much as you, but you have to let me in on it – in advance."
"You, you like messing with him?"
She grinned. "Yeah, so quit the loner act... Partner."
I stared for a minute. This could be good. "How do we...?"
"Easy." She waved two fingers between us. "Eye contact."
