Alex came back to the hotel at 8:45. When he arrived there, Camryn had already come back from the lab. She lay on the bed with her hands over her face. She looked distressed.
"Alex?"
"Hey, Cam." Alex pulled off his sneakers and went into the bathroom to change. He changed into mesh shorts and a white T-shirt. He came out of the bathroom and put his clothes away. He lay down next to Camryn and pulled her hands off her face. Her eyes were red, and her face was streaked with tears.
"Cam…"
"God, today was terrible. I can't wait until this is over."
"What happened?"
"I was talking to Daisuke earlier today, and I was reminded of my father. It just brought back a lot of sad memories."
Alex held Camryn tightly to his chest and kissed her. "Your father would be proud if he could see you now."
A small smile tugged at the corners of Camryn's lips. "Yeah, yours too."
Alex kissed her again and stroked her bare shoulders.
"Alex, we have to be careful around Daisuke," Camryn whispered.
"Why? What's going on?"
Camryn told Alex about Daisuke's revelation of his feelings. "I don't want to cause anymore conflict there already is because of having two separate agencies on this case. The CIA is probably going to get involved soon."
"Did you find anything at the lab?"
"No." Camryn's hands snaked up Alex's chest. "Mahiro thinks that the lab I'm working in is a decoy. That's just where the morphine is produced. She things that there's something else produced somewhere else that is put into the morphine."
Alex kissed Camryn over and over. For a while, the two didn't talk – just kissed and touched.
"So how was your day?" Camryn murmured.
"Great. I met up with my old friend, Sabina."
"You've told me about her. Am I going to get the chance to meet her? She sounds like such a sweet person."
"She is, but everyone has their bad side."
"What do you mean?"
Alex pressed his lips to Camryn's throat. "Like I've told you, Sabina and I used to be interested in each other. Sabina still wants me."
"So?"
"She's an only child, so she's spoiled. If she finds out who you are, she might raise hell. This is kind of the same deal as Daisuke."
Camryn stroked Alex's tangled blonde hair. A deep sigh escaped Alex's throat. He loved when Camryn played with his hair. It just felt kind of…sexy.
"So, what's going on tomorrow?" Alex asked, his voice slightly muffled because he just couldn't take his lips off Camryn's neck.
"I'm going back to the lab to work. I have to finish up with the morphine. Yahiko, Hikaru, and Mahiro are looking for the other lab. They're going to give me the details on what they find."
"Maybe I can help them out." Alex finally took his lips away from Camryn's neck. He slid his hands slowly and lustfully over her curves. Alex wanted this moment to last forever.
Little did they know, Camryn and Alex were being watched. Jealous eyes watched them lying together. Only one word came to mind: sabotage.
