Chapter 28
When Angie saw her desk, she had no desire to actually sit down and do any kind of work. She heard herself sigh at its sights. She had barely sat down when Sean rushed toward her.
"Ms. Noam, you could have warned us. Why have FBI arrested another security guard?"
"Mr. Kane, I have no idea what you are talking about?" Angie narrowed her eyes at him.
"First Shaw and now this. They made another arrest."
"Mr. Kane, you should be happy. This means that they have made a break in the case."
"This is not good publicity"
"I guess not"
He walked away as quickly as he came.
"You really don't know anything, huh?" Angie turned around and found Jake looking at her with his head tilted.
"Are you suspecting me?"
"Well, you are friends with the right people."
"If you have something to say then why don't you just say it?"
"I was just wondering what this new arrest is about?"
"Well, in case you forgot. I might know some people from FBI but that doesn't make me one?"
"Why are you getting so defensive?" Jake said
"Why are you getting so offensive?"
She was about to sit down but he grabbed her upper arm, "I am just worried. This is not good business."
"Then you should have hired a better security guard", she pushed his arm away harshly.
"Come on, Angie. You know we care about you" he took a step closer, "Dad probably thinks of Daisy as one of his own. Don't we even deserve a little honesty?"
"Daisy is mine, and I don't owe you anything."
His eyes lingered on her for a while. She looked away from him, and he left.
Telling Neal was mistake. She felt the anger in his voice through the phone as she was walking to her apartment door with Daisy and she even felt a little guilty for enjoying it.
"You should be careful with him"
"I am not afraid of him. "
"I am not saying that."
"Then what are you saying?" She asked
"I don't know. He is always so clingy."
She smiled, "Is that jealousy, I hear".
"Do I have a reason to be jealous?"
"I will pledge the fifth on that", she joked.
Daisy glanced at her with a smirk and Angie gestured her to be silent as she gave her the keys to open the apartment's door.
"Why don't you come here and say that?"
She smiled shyly, "Why don't you come here and make me?".
"Ouch. Using my prison anklet against me. That is a low blow, Noam"
She threw her bag on the couch and sat down beside it when she realized that someone else was calling. "Someone else is calling".
"Let it ring"
"I need to pick it up"
"Angie..."
"Bye, Neal..."
"Angie..."
She hung up with a laugh and then picked up the second call. She barely managed to say hello before Jake interrupted her, "Angie, I need you. Please, help me."
