Big.
Ones.
They involved creating a dynasty by introducing him to Elizabeth LaRue.
They’d be perfect together.
He felt that to his core.
Now, he was stuck wondering if Ethan Blackhawk was gay, bi, or just bored as hell. He wasn’t going to judge, but this was a whole set of crazy.
Him and Gene Cantrell?
What?
For some reason, he couldn’t seem to wrap his head around it.
They seemed so…
Odd together.
In his head, that was a non-match, and almost as ridiculous as Elizabeth and Christopher.
Well, it wasn’t like he could ask him his sexual orientation. Like the military, the FBI was don’t ask and don’t tell. Oh, and HR had rules against that.
Oh, but Gabe knew how to prove his theory.
Honestly, Cantrell and Blackhawk worked well together. He wanted them to stay together, as long as they could keep it low-key and no one got hurt. That would be the deal breaker on this little entanglement.
So, he’d test it.
Oh, and their reaction would tell him all he needed to know.
So, it was time to plan.
It looked like‘operation liar-liar pants on fire’was about to begin. All it would take was testing them, and watching the fireworks.
Would he bend for them?
Yes.
Would he make sure they were well aware that they were under the microscope like LaRue and Leonard?
Yes.
Oh, and by the end, he’d either have two agents assigned to other partners, or he’d have them wrapped around his little finger too.
Because in DC, it wasn’t what you knew.
It was how you controlled it.
