“You saying the Kovlevsky’s murdered someone?”

“I’m saying there is something big coming Daniel. Really big. And you can break it. But the only way you get this intel is through me. Tarek trusts me now. I started working there today. I am at his side. This is what you wanted.”

Daniel frowned. “And what do you want?”

“To expose the Marshalls. You know that.”

“If people are dead Kassidy you are getting in far too deep.”

“I know. But I can handle it. I have dinner plans with him tonight. Tarek trusts me.”

“I don’t like it.”

Kassidy sighed. “What don’t you like.”

“The way you say his name. You aren’t developing feelings for him?”

Kassidy frowned. “No. He is responsible for the death of my family. If not him, then his family. Trust me I don’t have feelings for him. I am going to get us what we need. I just need you to support me.”

Daniel picked up the USB. He looked at it and then her. “Okay. Let me have a look at it. Let’s see.”

“There’s something else. Something you have to understand and agree too.”

“What is it?”

“After today we can’t see each other anymore. Tarek has been digging in my background. I intend to convince him to stop. But he’s got in his head that I’m working for his brother. Don’t call me. Don’t text me. We won’t meet. For a little while. Until things cool off. And I know he fully trusts me.”

“How do I keep contact with you?”

“I’ll use the dark web. Send you a message there. Okay? Agreed?”

Daniel looked to the thumb drive and then to her. “And you’re fully committed to seeing this through? On my team?”

“Yes. I’m on the winning team. I promise,” she smiled.

“Deal.”
