car.”
     
    “Director…”
     
    “This isn’t open for negotiations. Now I know what you’re all doing here,” she cut Autumn a look to remind her that she knew what her place in the unit was too. “But this is big and we’re taking it on. Whatever he wants you get it for him.”
     
    “What if he doesn’t want one of our agents?” Autumn reminded her they couldn’t perform miracles here.
     
    “I don’t care. You get him what he wants. If he wants God then you get him God.”
     
    “Like I have that kind of connections,” she mumbled.
     
    One thing Candice liked about the woman she had seen working over the years was that she was outspoken, but usually had more tact than most. She was, for lack of a better word, a protégé worth having. Candice had been watching her since her early years. She had been maneuvering all of her advancements, her department moves, her entire career and the woman didn’t even know it. She was where she was going to stay. That is until Candice became president and then the woman was going to have to make another move to the Secret Service because she would be on her protection detail even if she didn’t want to be there.
     
    “Make it happen, Miss Kitsap.” She said as she turned and left the room. She heard the door open and Autumn’s shoes clacking on the floor behind her. Usually the woman could sneak up on anybody without being heard, but this time she wasn’t trying to sneak up on anybody; she was trying to catch up to argue. Candice smiled at the thought. She loved this woman. She was just too perfect to let sit idle and too much of an assets to let go to waste on some bland desk job. She had been right about Autumn from day one and she was right about her now. She would find their leak, plug it, and assure victory for Candice’s presidential bid. Oh yes, she had everything planned and now was the perfect time to put it all in place.
     
    “You do know why you put me here right?” Autumn kept her tone hushed as she walked beside her.
     
    “Yes. And I have faith that you can do more than one thing. Whatever this guy needs, whatever he wants, you see to it. We’re going to help keep him safe so we can get a killer off the streets.”
     
    “There are a lot of killers on the street.” Autumn reminded her.
     
    “Not like this one.”
     
    “Oh, because he’s raping and killing men now it’s important, huh?”
     
    Candice snorted. “Seems that way. Men are such idiots, but they are useful,” she reminded her. “Whatever this guy wants you get it for him. We just have to keep him safe until trial.”
     
    “And after that?”
     
    She shrugged. “DA’s problem then.”
     
    “How caring,” Autumn mumbled.
     
    “Caring isn’t in my job description,” Candice reminded her. “My job’s to keep them alive until trial and if the DA requests us for longer we’ll work until the trial is over, but outside of that it’s not my job.”
     
    “Do you think the DA will request our services?”
     
    “No. The man hates me. He would much rather go through the regular Marshal service, and honestly by that point I’m sure this Colt guy will be begging for twenty-four seven protection. This is going to get big and dangerous fast. Now, forget about that,” she said as they stepped outside the building. “How are things going in there? Any leads?”
     
    “I have my suspicions, but no proof yet. I’ll keep working it. But you do know this isn’t going to resolve itself in a matter of weeks.”
     
    “You’ve had three months,” she reminded her with a wink. “But no, I figured this would take a while. This is deep and I’m not sure it’s just one man. I want the leak plugged, but I know it’s going to take a little work. You have six months. If you don’t have it by then I’ll have to handle things the not so diplomatic way.” She reminded her. She was sure Autumn knew what she meant. Autumn had seen things through her years of service that
