Chapter 32: Ralphie Pearce V
Sam’s Hotel room.
Sam sat in her hotel room, with Levi on the bed. His back leaning on the headboard as he looked at Pearce’s case file, again. Agent Tillman and Sutton sat observing the two silently in the corner.
Levi turned the page, glancing at the two men in the corner. He found the two agents’ watchful eyes irksome.
"If you want to make yourselves useful, why don’t you leave us alone to work?" he spat.
Tillman gestured to the redhead sitting at the table, back facing them.
"We can’t do that Mr. Jackson; Dr. Gray is dealing with sensitive evidence," said Tillman.
Sam was busy creating a copy of the original hard drive of Pearce’s laptop to make sure not to alter anything on the original drive. Levi scoffed, arched his brows at them."By ’sensitive evidence’ you mean the encrypted list of high-ranking officials involved in an international human trafficking ring?" he said.
The two CIA agents turned to him surprised, and they exchanged looks with each other, silently questioning if either of them shared such classified information to the two Consultants.
Levi snorted, amused at the two’s exchange.
"We didn’t come here blind, you know?" he said going back to reading.
The two-agent turned back to Sam, who was quietly typing codes on the keyboard. They found her skill impressive, but they reckon she wasn’t any better than their best digital expert who wasn’t able to retrieve the deleted data. They wondered silently why the British security service even asked them to allow the pathologist to handle such evidence when it wasn’t her field of expertise.
Levi chuckled under his breath watching the two’s expression while observing Sam. An expression that says that what she was doing was a waste of everybody’s time. Sutton and Tillman turned to Levi, wondering what he found amusing.
