" I can see why your file is marked for SAS Training, so where did youlearn to drive?" In the Ozarks, and you?" I asked."Mississippi," she answered. "...Then the SAS Bodyguard School inBritain."She tossed the keys to Major Dixon. "I think the Soviet Embassy will bevery embarrassed if they find they're missing a car." Myrna, can you return that to their motor pool? Or at least closeenough to it?"Myrna saluted, then asked me if I'd follow and give her a lift. Dixontossed me a set of keys, be careful. She nodded, smiling slightly.“Then I guess you’re just going to have to explode,” she replied, leaning in to whisper, “but for safety’s sake, I should probably stick around till it happens.” And then she kissed me. Just like our first kiss, it was a harmless, half-thought-out smooch that would normally not turn heads. But also like our first kiss, it shocked me into confusion. Something about a lip-to-lip kiss seemed to be crossing more lines than there were boundaries for, and with Lexi? I was. The athletic trainer had to work the softball game so I was alone in the training room. I started the whirlpool and lowered the temperature of the water. I put on my swim trunks and slowly dipped myself in the water.I started to shiver but slowly accustomed myself to the cold water. My muscles relaxed and I closed my eyes to enjoy my time in the whirlpool.After a couple of minutes the door opened. The athletic trainer entered with the last person I expected, Ashley.She went into the athletic. I looked around at the cheap motel. “With a little luck one night is all I’ll have to stay here,” I said aloud.I figured the longest I had to stay lost would be a month. I needed a way to find out when the coast was clear. I wasn’t sure the cops had a warrant to get my cell phone records yet, but I had been on cell phone security since I went on the run. For that reason I waited until I had the new scooter batteries on my trailer before I replaced the battery in the new burner phone. I called.
