"What?" I cried jumping up from my desk. "Who told you to go after her?"
"I thought you did, Ms. Cassidy." The young soldier said nervously twisting his hat in his hands.
I sighed running a hand through my already knotted hair and said. "I meant for you to only follow her not try to kill her."
"Yeah, but Mathison told us that you wanted us to shoot and kill her." The second soldier said.
I gritted my teeth, so Jake had done this to her. I looked back up at the two soldiers, they were to young they weren't supposed to be shooting guns and risking their lives. I needed some time alone to think.
"You are excused." I said waving them out.
I then picked up my raincoat and briefcase and headed out of my office. That's when I bumped right into Jake. I nearly lost my balance but he caught me and sat me back on my feet. I hate him.
Jake smiled cruelfully and said. "That's strike two Cassidy, one more and you're out. Where do you think you're going?"
I glared down at the small man, that was the only good thing about him. I was taller than him, I'm on the shorter side and not taller than many people. And being taller than him I thought was a very good advantage.
"I need to get away from here, I have an apartment in LA, I'm going to spend a little time there. If you need me you have my number and cell phone number. Now if you'll excuse me." I said trying to get passed him.
"Who's there in LA?" Jake said his eye narrowing in suspition.
"An old friend of mine, we go way back. Now move or I'll miss my flight."
He moved letting me pass, but not before he said, "I don't trust you Cassidy."
I brushed past him and left Manticore, he shouldn't trust me, I wasn't the type of person to be. I didn't feel right about capturing Max, there was something they weren't telling me. Why was she and Brin so special? I needed answers and I knew it was only a matter of time until I got them. I smiled as I headed to the airport, it was going to be nice to get away.
