We finished drinking our drinks and walked back to my cabin.
"Are you coming on the run at 4:00 am?"
"Ah. Good ole' 4 am runs. Yep. I loved doing those. It got my body going."
"Okay. Oh. A bunch of us are going dancing tomorrow night, want to go?"
"What kind of dancing?"
"Mostly fast. That black salsa dress you used to have would work."
"Okay."
"Goodnight."
"'night."
We kissed on the cheek. I went inside, showered, set up my room, and went to sleep. I had my alarm set for 3:00 am. I showered, got dressed for the run, and went to Jimmy's room to wake him up. He had been placed under my direction. I tickled his foot. This is how I liked waking him up all of the time while we were together. He moved his foot. So, I tickled his other. His eyes opened but he didn't know what was going on. I kissed his forehead. I love teasing him.
"Now, is that a way to be woken up or what?"
"Come on. Time for running, James Clayton."
"Come shower with me."
"Maybe later, kid."
"Kid? I'm older than you."
"Get dressed and I'll shower with you before we go dancing."
"Okay."
He got dressed and we went outside where everyone was meeting.
"Everyone ready?"
Walter got very sleepy sounding yes'. We ran. The morning run is two or three miles long depending on how everyone is doing. I was just fine at the end.
"Kelly, take care of them. I have to go to Langley."
"Ok. Everyone hit the showers. You have 20 minutes until you're expected to be at breakfast."
Everyone ran back to their showers. Jimmy came up to me.
"Come shower with me now. I don't know if I can wait until tonight."
"Okay."
I got on his back and we, well, he ran to his room. We were in his shower, kissing. It felt so good to be back in his warm embrace. It turns out that Burke didn't have to go to Langley, he was in a hidden camera room. He was watching a Monitor that was hooked up to James' room so he could see that he and I were in the shower together. Burke was happy because he used to tell me,
'You and Clayton are perfect for each other. Both stubborn as hell.' and I would just say some clever response back to him.
We went down to breakfast. After that, we took the guys and gals back to 'the barn'. "Alright, people, simmer down. Those of you who make it through the program and into the agency will probably ,at one time or another in your career, have to give a lie detector test or have to take one. Over the many years that the CIA has been around, technology has become more advanced. Alright, I need someone to come up here. Uh, Zach. That is your name right?"
"Yep."
"Zach, you come up here and sit in the chair."
I strapped him in and moved the eye piece to his right eye. "Is your name Zach Archer?"
"Yes."
"True. See this line going up and down? That's Zach's heartrate. If a person is lying, their heartrate tends to get faster. This section right here measures blood pressure. As with the heartrate, blood pressure tends to go higher when a person is lying. Finally, this section measures the pupil. When a person lies, their pupils get bigger. That is a fail-safe way to tell if a person is lying because that is the hardest thing to hide on a lie detector test. Alright, does anyone want to give a lie detector test?"
"I do. I want to give a lie detector test to you, Robinson."
"Okay. Get up here."
I got the computer set up for James. I sat in the chair while he strapped me in.
"Is your name Kelly Elizabeth Robinson?"
"Yes."
"True. Is your birthdate August 17, 1981?"
"Yes."
"True. Did your father, Samuel Robinson, dissapear 8 years ago, when you were 15?"
"Yes."
"True. Have you ever had to go to Peru on assignment?"
"Yes."
"True."
Burke walked in.
