Chapter 3
Chloe spun around at the sound of THAT voice.
"And what, exactly is YOUR problem with having me back in Salem I though we resolved all our issues a long time ago."
"Don't get me wrong baby I love seeing your lovely face here but it's a little too dangerous for a pretty thing like you to be involved in." He said.
"What's that suppose to mean? I seem to remember saving your ass plenty of times while you were stationed in Europe with the ISA.does Paris ring any bells????"
"I had that completely under control my dear you just don't know how a 'Master' operates."
'Master' my ass! You almost got yourself killed when you waltzed in the backroom of that party pretending to be a lost waiter when I was getting information on Don Andres. If it wasn't for me he would have shot you on the spot!"
"All right kids enough bickering," John cut in slightly chuckling, "Tek, Victor and I brought Chloe back here because of two reasons. First we know how valuable she is as an agent and how well the two of you work together. Second, no one would suspect her of being on the case because of her history here in Salem and with my son."
"All right, all right" Tek answered reluctantly, "I just don't want to see 'the diva' hurt herself," he turned and looked at Chloe again "you should be able to stay out of trouble while you're don't you think?" he said as he winked at her.
"Why I ought to..." Chloe began but Victor interrupted her when he asked "So my dear how was your flight over here.comfortable I hope."
Chloe looked away from Tek after giving him a look that would freeze the sun. "Yes Victor, thank you, it was awfully considerate of you to send your private jet but I could have just as easily flown back commercially, it would have aroused less suspicion."
"Nonsense my dear when I plan surprises for my family I like to do it with style!" "That being said why doesn't Tek here take your luggage up to your room and you can unpack, yours is the third door on the right"
"Thanks again Victor, I can't wait to see the look on everyone's face when I make my entrance back into Salem at your party tonight."
"Nor can I my dear nor can I"
After Tek and Chloe left the room to take her suitcases to where she would be staying John turned to Victor.
"You really lucked out with that one old man, if Tek hadn't come in when he did you would have had to explain to poor Chloe why Brady has been traipsing around Salem with his granny"
"All in good time John, all in good time" Victor sighed and shook his head, "I am just not looking forward to telling her that the reason her skills were needed in Salem is because we are worried about Brady for more than his involvement with Nicole."
"I know what you mean old man, but I better leave someone may begin to wonder why my car is parked in the driveway of one of my so called competitors of business. Not to mention a man I am not known to trust." John smiled wryly, "However, when it comes to Brady I trust you more than anyone and that's a fact. He's your grandson and I know you would never hurt him."
"No I wouldn't, not for the world. In fact I intend to make all his dreams come true. That is, after we succeed in saving him from himself with the help of one Miss Chloe Lane"
