Day 10
Characters: CJ/Simon
"I have a phone to my ear. What does that mean to you?"
"I shouldn't be talking." CJ waited--impatiently, she admitted silently--for Simon to hang up.
"Yes, sir. Thank you." He turned off the phone. "You need to get inside, Ms. Cregg." He placed a hand on her elbow.
"Wait--aren't we going to finish our conversation?" CJ asked, a bit put out.
"You mean our shouting match? Not until I'm no longer on your protection detail." Her stomach dropped. She realized she'd been hoping the call was to tell Simon--Agent Donovan--that her stalker had been caught.
"Who was that?"
"My boss. They think the guy's here."
"In New York?"
"You need to get inside," the Secret Service agent repeated.
"Okay, okay! But we're going to finish this conversation later." CJ turned to go into the theater.
"Yes, ma'am." If she hadn't known he had no sense of humor, she'd almost think Agent Donovan was being sarcastic.
