“Well, that really explains a lot, actually.”

“I never meant to hide it from you. It’s just complicated. Brad and I both know we shouldn’t be friends in any capacity for a multitude of reasons.”

“Yet you are.”

“Yeah, my love. We are. I can’t help it.”

Cara smiles at the idea of me having a friendship with Brad. It really was out of place, but it just happened. I wouldn’t call it a friendship but a mutual respect, maybe. Either way, I won’t dissect it much further. It serves its purpose for both of us in different ways.

“We have to talk about tonight,” she says with a sigh.

“The only problem I see in front of us is the code needed right before Taby’s quarters.”

“You wrote down what you think it is, right?”

“I did. Her assistant did it so quickly though—I don’t think we should rely on it.”

“I’m good with security systems.”

“Believe me, I’m glad you’re on my team for this one.”

“Me too.”

I glance at my watch, and it’s a little past three in the afternoon.

“Taby won’t be there tonight,” Cara says.

“How do you know that?” I ask as I look back up at her.

“I found her schedule in the office. She’ll be at a meeting uptown all night. No details on it, but at least we’ll be in the clear.”

“Outside of her security and guards still there.”

“Easy for us.”

I chuckle.

“I certainly hope so.”

“I think the best time to get there is midnight. Let the place be packed so we can go unnoticed by the guards.”

“We’ll have to stop the cameras.”

“Which means limited time to get through the halls and into her quarters.”

“Right.”

“Don’t worry; that’s simple. They’ll think it’s a glitch if we’re less than a minute.”

I consider what she’s saying. If we’re quick, then we could easily get down the halls and into her quarters in that time. The only issue is the code.

“We’ve got this. You trust me, right?” she asks.

“Implicitly.”
