I love these 2! They[Roarke and Eve] are great =))
“I first heard of her some years ago. We were working on a prototype for some—at the time—new holo technology. It was very nearly stolen, or would have been if we hadn’t implemented multiple layers of security. As it was, she got through several before the red flag.”
“Corporate and/or technological espionage.”
“Yes. I didn’t know her as Dana Buckley, but as Catherine Delauter. I expect you’ll find any number of IDs before you’re done.”
“Who does she work for?”
He lifted a shoulder in a dismissive if elegant shrug. “The highest bidder. She thought I might be interested in her services, and arranged to meet me. That’s seven or eight years ago.”
“Did you hire her?”
He glanced at Eve with mild exasperation. “Why would I? I don’t need to steal—and if I did, I could do it myself, after all. I wasn’t interested in her services, and made it plain. Not only because I don’t—never did—steal ideas. It’s low and common.”
Eve shook her head. “Your moral compass continues to baffle me.”
“As yours does me. Aren’t we a pair? ”
