Chapter 2
John Black laughed that hearty laugh I remembered so well from the days I used to visit Belle and Brady at the penthouse. "Chloe, dear, when old man Vic here decided to bring you back to town I thought it was a wonderful idea. Not only for the effect it is going to have on my son but for the obvious reasons of your fresh views and immense help on the murder case. I knew when the ISA contacted me and asked for my opinion of how you would do as an undercover agent for their operation in Europe that I was right on the money when I stated you would be invaluable and That, my dear is now a proven fact!" Chloe glowed with pride at the high praise she received from her foremost contact in Salem, even Brady didn't know about the close connection she and his father shared. John had been instrumental in getting her through the quick and thrown together orientation she had had with the ISA while over in Europe. She had gone thru with flying colors and learned quickly. She had the brains, that was evident from the fact she was valedictorian of her senior class despite all the hardships and distractions she had while in school. Chloe had the perfect cover in Europe, as well, as she traveled with Cecilia Marin's company and met all the heavy hitters in society that had some black spot on their record the ISA was investigating and wanted her to uncover.
Coming back to the present she laughed and said "When Victor told me he wanted me here to discuss my plans for the future I had no idea you were involved. I just wrapped up my last case with the ISA and decided what better way to spend Christmas then surprising the man I love." Victor began to chuckle at that remark and reproachfully said "Chloe, my dear, as much as I love younger women you are a bit out of my league, and I mean that with the deepest respect." Chloe blushed scarlet at this remark and began to stammer unintelligibly but Victor laughed and continued "Don't worry my dear I know you were speaking of my grandson." Chloe visibly relaxed at this but then became worried, "I just wish I knew if he is going to be as happy to see me as I am to see me." At this John and Victor exchanged a look. "What's going on? Is he seeing someone else?" Chloe asks paling slightly.
"No, no my dear.well not exactly it's just..." Victor began when suddenly the door to the study opened and a voice asked "What is SHE doing here?"
