Read Wrong Place (The Wrong Series) for Free Online

light. She looked around in surprise. This place really is small. Why would you put something so important here, she wondered. As the light turned green, she made a left turn, and saw the factory in the distance. It was a very small factory, and as she got closer one thing became obvious. There was no security, and it looked like a two year old could break into the place. There wasn’t even a guard out front. She knew that looks could be deceiving, but as far as she could tell, nothing of interest could possibly be in a place such as this. You would have to be an idiot to try to keep a secret in such an insecure location, she thought. After she passed the factory, she noticed a red light on the dashboard. It was the gas light. Upon finding a gas station, she immediately pulled into it and began to fill the car up. As she was fueling, she couldn’t help but notice that there was a very tall man on the other side of the pump who was also getting fuel. He was having a very loud conversation with someone that he didn’t seem too happy to be talking to.
    “No I can’t do that . . . Well, I don’t know. I’m in Mississippi and not in Georgia. Why do you need a hacked cell phone anyway? I don’t normally do these things for free, you know. Look I’ve got to go . . . I’ll talk to you later, Michael,” the large man said as he hung up the phone.
    The man noticed that Sam was glancing at him and smiled. He then offered a short, although not very clear, explanation for what she had just heard.
    “Well, we all have an idiot in our lives that we can’t get rid of, I suppose,” he said.
    All she could think to do was nod. She then hung the hose back up and left the station.
    As soon as she pulled back onto the road, sh e received a phone call from Jason.
    “Hey, what’s going on?” she asked as she answered the phone.
    “You’re not going to like this.”
    “Oh great! What is it now?”
    “The operation’s off. I don’t really know what happened, but this came down straight from the top. You’re not to investigate anything else to do with that solar panel plant from this point forward.”
    “What? You know this is my first assignment, right? I’m not going to have something on my record that says incomplete right at the start,” Sam said in an irritated voice.
    “Well , technically I don’t think it would go down as an incomplete. It would just be canceled. It would be like it never existed to begin with, so don’t worry about it.”
    “Look , I’m going to go in there and do what I’m supposed to do tomorrow, regardless of what anyone in Washington or anywhere else says. I didn’t come here to sit in a hotel room for two days and then do nothing.”
    “Oh , come on. You wouldn’t have a cover. Driver has already been told that this op is off. What are you going to do? How will you even get any time alone in the office? Just let this one go, and we’ll have you on something new and even more exciting in a few days.”
    “Fine,” Sam said in a not too convincing way.
    “Look, I have to go, but don’t get yourself into too much trouble. I’ll have something for you soon.”
    “ All right, bye,” Sam said and hung up the phone.
    In that moment, only two things were clear to her. She was not eating breakfast at the same place tomorrow morning, and she was definitely going to show up to her interview and get this job done, with or without the agency’s permission.

Chapter 5
     
     
    The following morning Sam woke up and was clearly on a mission, both literally and figuratively. She showered, dressed, and was out the door as quickly as possible. She left with plenty of time so the traffic wouldn’t keep her from arriving at her destination on time. She pulled into the plant parking lot about thirty minutes early. She parked and then began to walk inside. A thought occurred to her as she was walking. What exactly am I going to do? I mean, I really could use this Driver guy’s help. Once she was
