hidden earpiece as I tried to drown out the noise of the room. “I can’t open the safe,” Zara stressed.
I turned my back to the crowd so no one would see me speak. “What do you mean? You doubled checked the code, right?” I hated new recruits. This job wasn’t something you could just start doing. It came from experience and using common sense. Zara still had a lot to learn.
“Yes. Oh, shit, Jade! Someone is coming!”
“Stay out of view. I’ll be there as soon as I can.” I turned again, making my way up the grand staircase.
“I’m sorry, Miss. That area is off limits to guests. The party is this way,” I heard one of security men call from behind me.
“Oh, I’m sorry.” I acted flustered, turning around and dropping my purse. “I was looking for the restroom.” I made sure my left leg was visible through the slit in my red dress as he bent down to pick up my handbag. “I have a run in my stockings and I need to take them off.”
“Mmm, is that so?” he mused, still looking at my legs. “I can let you use the restrooms upstairs on one condition.” With a smirk on his face, he stood up and handed me my purse. “I’d have to escort you.”
“You wouldn’t mind?”
“It would be my pleasure,” he smoldered, showing me the way upstairs. “Are you here alone?”
“No, I’m here with a friend but I somehow managed to lose her.” I smiled shyly, following him as I tried to ignore Zara panicking in my earpiece.
“Jade, someone is right outside!” She needed to shut up before she was overheard and our mission was be blown.
“Are you and your friend members of the press?”
“No. Mr. Casey is an acquaintance of ours. ”
“Oh, I’ve heard he has a lot of those,” the guard chuckled, showing me the door to the restroom. “I’ll wait here to escort you back to the party.”
This was Zara’s first mission; I was only here for backup in case she got into trouble. All new recruits had support on their first few missions. My first assignment had been a similar job to this. Stealing an object from a safe was probably the easiest task to have once you knew the location.
“Jade!” Zara hissed in my ear. “Where are you?”
“I’m in the restroom. Give me a second to stun the guard.” I opened the door, leaning seductively against the frame. “I was wondering if you’d give me a hand with my stockings,” I purred, watching the guy swallow hard as he eyed me from head to toe.
“I was hoping you’d say that,” he smoldered, pushing me inside. I had several amazing gadgets thanks to my line of work. A purse with a built in stun gun was one of many. I turned my purse to stun as he pinned me against the wall and began to kiss down my neck. “You are so sexy,” he groaned, moving his hands down my neck toward my breasts.
“And you’re an idiot,” I grinned before stunning him just below his ear. He fell to the ground like sack of potatoes and I had to laugh. Sometimes they made it too easy.
When I was sure the guard was out cold, I raced down the corridor. Zara and I would only have ten minutes at the most until he woke up.
“Zara, it’s clear,” I whispered, scanning the hallway.
“I’m sorry,” she whimpered, coming into sight. Her brown eyes looked defeated. “Maybe I’m not ready.”
“This is your first mission. I won’t let you fail, Zara. You can do this! Now, let’s get those photos and get the hell out of here!” I winked, grabbing her hand.
Our client was being blackmailed with some racy pictures that had been taken a few years ago. We’d been assigned to get them—along with the negatives—back.
“My hands are shaking,” she muttered, running them through her dark brown hair.
“Just breathe. We’ll be out of here in a matter of minutes.”
“I never imagined it would be this intense. Training didn’t prepare me for this.”
“It comes with experience—trust me,” I whispered, making my way over to the safe. “Do you have
