Summary
Chapter 5 Posted!!
"Morgan," he says her name so low that no one else could have possibly heard it.
"Yes?"
"You need to stop doing that."
"Doing what?"
He huffs out a curse and she can see the exact moment it happens— when he stops trying to pretend to he isn't losing himself—and something warm pools in her stomach.
-
Morgan and Karadec go undercover as arms traffickers. Things happen.

Summary
“Nick he— well I guess we.. a few nights ago, in the elevator—“ she looks down at her hands. She really really should wash them. Now that there’s nothing she can do for him. Not that there was ever anything in the first place. “We kissed.” she blurts out.
Karadec doesn’t react and she keeps going. “We kissed and then we didn’t even talk about it! I told— I told him we would, that we’d get back around to it. I was too busy accusing him of working for his father that I ignored what really mattered. I just— I thought—“ her breath hitches, “—that we had time. I thought we had time. I know Nick was.. hard to work with sometimes. But I liked him, Adam, I really really liked him.”Nick doesn't make it. Morgan's barely making it. Karadec has to make it work.

Summary
"Morgan," he says, his voice lower this time. "What are you doing here?" He takes a step into the house as well, causing her to step further back.
Still, she doesn't say anything. And it's driving him absolutely insane.
"I don't want to think," she finally answers. "About today."
"What about today?" Wagner asks, stepping closer to her. Although he had been swimming, she could still smell his cologne, sandalwood and bergamont. He tilts her chin up gently with his finger, getting her to look at him.

Summary
"You know, if half our coworkers weren't here and on their way to all being blackout drunk, this would almost feel like a date."
Karadec freezes.
It's not the sort of freeze that some passerby would notice, it's subtle, but Morgan can tell. His hand hovers over the table for a fraction of a second too long, and his jaw tightens.
"It's not," he says tightly.
Morgan giggles. "Obviously."

Summary
"You had this planned, didn't you?" He turns back to Morgan who shakes her head in defense.
"It sounds like something they would have come up with." Morgan points at Oz and Daphne, who had appeared by his side once again.
"Come on Karadec, it's tradition." Daphne taunts. "We know how set on tradition you are."

Summary
“Eva Stratt, you are under arrest.”
She wonders what they’ll charge her with as they place the handcuffs around her wrists. Environmental destruction, certainly. Extortion and racketeering? Probably. Someone could make the case for smuggling—it would be interesting if they got her on piracy. She turns to give her final good-byes, and her heart stops.
“Ryland Grace, you are under arrest.”
OR
Eva Stratt was prepared to be the world's scapegoat. She'd angered too many people and skirted too many rules not to be. She didn't expect Ryland Grace to get arrested right alongside her.
