Rogue Spy: the True Story

Or What's Really Going On With Sarah Walker

King Street Station, Seattle

November 6, 2009

"About time! What the hell took you so long?"

Sarah winced. Her walk to the station in the cool nocturnal air had helped her clear her mind, but she was still shaken from her encounter with Chuck.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she told Carina, as she closed the distance, a little out of breath. She had kept a fast pace through the streets of Seattle.

Sarah put down her bag at the foot of the seat next to Carina's and sagged down.

Carina's eyebrows furrowed. "Well? Can I at least get a real greeting?" she asked.

Sarah suddenly felt horrible. It was about time, indeed, to tell Carina about Chuck. Really tell her.

After the phone call she had made while in Miami, she knew she couldn't keep doing what she was doing to them. She had hoped that the seminar would only be a goodbye, and close that part of their lives.

That was why she had asked Carina to meet with her afterwards. Sarah had told her she'd moved around all day to mislead her pursuers, before going back to Vancouver where her Chevy Impala was waiting.

But nothing of the sort had happened.

Chuck had won her over, seconds after minutes after hours.

As great as their time together was—and it certainly was amazing—she knew that she and Carina couldn't solve all their problems by spending all their time in the bedroom. Or the bathroom. Or the living room. Or…

Sarah sighed in contemplation. That kind of train of thought was distracting, and before she knew it, she was leaning in to give Carina the kiss she had demanded.

Carina immediately crashed her body into Sarah's, and used her tongue—like she really knew how—to deepen the kiss.

In the back of her mind, Sarah was thinking about how it wasn't a good idea to be doing this in public and attracting attention, but she couldn't bring herself to care right away.

Carina was actually the one to break the embrace first, and when she did, Sarah's resolve was already half way out the window.

She slowly opened her eyes.

The eyes that met hers weren't glassy, like they should have been.

They were troubled.

Uh-oh.

Sarah moistened her lips, as though she could take back whatever realization Carina had just come to.

"Where did you have popcorn?"
