Jack glanced down at his phone when it rang.It was Barry.Even better than Nick’s harassment or Luke’s teasing.“Hey, buddy.”
“Hey, how’s it going?”
“Slow, tell me you got something.”He had sent the security footage from the bar last night.Hopefully, Barry was calling him with some good news.
“I did, but you’re not going to like it.”
“Tell me.”Now Barry had his interest piqued.
“I was able to ID the guys that cornered your girl.They work for a arms dealer based out of Brazil.They are on the list of possible buyers for government intel and weapons.”
“Are they connected to the base attacks?”
“Unknown, but these aren’t the type of people to mess with.”
And they had been looking for Andrea.They had looked around for her and cornered her.
“If Andrea was stealing intel from the recent base attacks, she could be selling it to them.”
“She didn’t look happy to see them.There could be another reason.Maybe they were trying to get her to do a job for them.”
“Look, man, I know you’ve been dragging your feet there, but if these types of people are hanging around her, you need to get whatever you need from her and quick.Before the intel dies, or she runs.”
“Maybe they mistook her for someone else,” Jack tried to reason, but he knew it was a lame excuse.He wanted to believe they had the wrong person, but now they had evidence that she was connected to arms dealers.
“These kind of people don’t make mistakes.You know that, and I know that.I’m sorry, man,” Barry said sounding apologetic.
“Not your fault.Thanks for the assist.”
“Anytime.”Barry hung up, leaving Jack alone with his thoughts.
He didn’t have a choice but to get a confession from her.His stomach turned at the thought of having to beat it out of her.He had to act now.Barry would tell Nick what he’d found, and if Jack didn’t do it, someone with less scruples would.
Hopefully, they had built up enough trust, she would tell him without any pain involved.Jack grabbed the shopping bag with the scarves and made his way across the street.It was getting late, but he knew Andrea was still home.She had some time until she had to go to work.
Jack knocked and waited a moment for her to answer.Her hair was down, curling over her shoulders.She wore a tank top that showed off the top swells of her breasts and displayed her slim body he had worshipped several times with his hands and mouth.
“Well, you aren’t the delivery man,” she husked, her eyes drinking him in.
“Hey, babe,” Jack greeted and stepped closer.He gripped the back of her head and pulled her in for a deep kiss.She was the enemy, but damned if he didn’t love kissing her.Plus, he had to keep up the pretense that all was right.Yeah, that sounded good.
Instantly, he realized something was wrong.This wasn’t Andrea.But who else could it be?She looked like her, but she didn’t smell like her, she didn’t feel like her, and she definitely didn’t kiss like her.
Jack pulled back and looked at her.She was a doppelganger to Andrea, but he could see a subtle difference.The nose was different.Andrea’s was higher.The eyes were a different shade.This woman’s were more brown where Andrea’s were golden.Even the hair was different.Andrea’s was longer and a darker shade of brown.
“Well, that’s one hell of a greeting.”Fake Andrea fanned herself.
Another tell it wasn’t her.Even the mannerisms were different, but it still didn’t answer who she was.“Who are you?”
Fake Andrea tensed.“You showed up at my door and kissed me, and you don’t know who I am?Ass.”
“You’re not Andrea.”Which left, who was she?
“Of course, I am.”And like a ton of bricks, it hit him.A sister.Andrea had a twin sister who obviously no one knew about it.Or if they did, they hadn’t told him.Though he suspected it was the first reason, otherwise he wouldn’t have spent the past two weeks watching Andrea instead of this woman.“Do you need your eyes checked?”
Jack smiled.“Of course, you are, sweetheart.It just feels like it’s been forever since I last saw you that I almost didn’t recognize you.”
Fake Andrea relaxed.He also noticed she kept most of the door shut so he couldn’t look into the house.A clear sign he wasn’t welcome inside.“And you missed me so much, you came to my door at night and had to steal a kiss.”
