Chapter 15
"Thank you," Tony said, the same moment Michelle walked into his office. He put the receiver down and sighed with relief. "They got him."
"Jack?" she asked.
"Yes. He's alright and he's got the virus. We just got confirmation it's been verified."
He could see Michelle heaving a huge sigh of relief as well, closing her eyes for a moment and taking a deep breath.
"It's over," he said and when she looked at him again, she smiled for a moment.
Then her expression turned serious again and she frowned.
"What about Amador?"
"Dead," he replied and lowered his gaze on his desk, knowing of course what her next question would be.
"Nina?"
He hesitated, not sure how he felt about it.
"She's been shot but she's alive," he sighed. "For now."
"For now?" Michelle asked, folding her arms over her chest.
"They're getting her to the hospital. She's in a pretty bad shape. They don't know if she's gonna make it."
Michelle nodded and seemed to take the news in for a second. Then she took a step forward and approached his desk.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah," he nodded. "I'm just...I don't know. Tired." He looked up at her. "Are we alright?"
And she looked at him, her warm eyes finally smiling at his again. "Yeah. We're alright."
