Kate's POV
After leaving the embassy, we drove for another hour before arriving at a large white mansion that was one of the politicians' homes.
"There's a session of congress today," Lex said. "So only a few members of the housekeeping staff should be here."
"Good." Snaps said as we all got out of the car, thankfully, it was still just barely raining.
The huge iron fence that surrounded the house would be easy to get around.
"There are more cameras here in front." Lex told us.
"What about in back?" James asked as we started to follow the fence to the back of the home.
"Not many, three at most." Lex replied.
"Four." Snaps, James, and I corrected at the same time as we looked through the fence.
"Where?"
"One on each corner of the building." Snaps said as if a two-year-old could've found them.
"One is hidden in that light." James said, pointing to a lamp post by the fence.
"I see those, but where's the last?" Lex asked.
James and Snaps smirked.
"The gazing ball near the center of the yard." I said matter-of-factly.
"Oh…"
We looked carefully around the rest of the premises and found that most of the cameras were short range, and that none of the windows on the first floor near the back had alarms. It would be easy to get inside and get out without being seen.
I was proud of myself for keeping my emotions in check all day. It was odd, as weird as it sounded, I'd never liked a guy before. All through school, I was alone or hanging out with James and his friends, who were all older than me. During my work at MI6, I mainly hung out with Snaps (and by now, you all know how much I dislike Jack!).
We were now back at the hotel.
"So…" I asked. "Hit the embassy tomorrow?"
"Sound good." Snaps said, and James just nodded.
"No." Lex said firmly. "There's a huge departmental meeting tomorrow. We should wait until Saturday, no one will be there except the guards. The Ambassador is going on a weekend trip to America."
I sighed. "Fine. Saturday it is."
