Chapter 411
Snow Wolf had a sixth sense for sniffing out the unusual, and it was not often he labeled something as
odd.
That alone was enough to grab Evangeline’s attention, and she pressed him, “What’s so odd about it? Out with the details.”
However, Snow Wolf was never one to play it by the book. “I’ll shoot the details over to you. Take a look. and we’ll see if we’re on the same page.”
The ping of a sent email echoed in her ear, and Snow Wolf was quick to add, “Check your inbox, I’ve sent the info.”
“You could’ve just told me straight up. Why the pop quiz?” Evangeline grumbled. His skills and temper always went hand in hand, but she never believed it–until Snow Wolf came along.
The guy was a no–nonsense doer, but his moods are out there. If he did not want to spill, prying a word out of him was a monumental task.
open the email “So, anything else? If not, I’m about to hang up.” Evangeline had already clicked attachment, ready to dive into Snow Wolf’s latest challenge‘ as soon as the call ended.
Usually, Snow Wolf would say something like, “Don’t let me keep you from your files,” and cut the call. However, not this time. He cracked a secretive smile and said, “There’s one more thing.
“Cuddly Cutie, we’ve been pals for ages but never laid eyes on each other. How about we change that- meet in person?”
“Meet in person?” Evangeline’s words tangled in her surprise. She had always seen Snow Wolf as a friend and trusted him to the core, but the idea of actually meeting him in person was uncharted territory.
It was like there was this person in her life, someone she trusted and clicked with, but never once did she picture letting him into her world for real.
“What’s wrong? Not up for it?” The voice on the line was laced with a touch of melancholy. “Cuddly Cutie, here I am, pouring my heart out, and for what?”
Evangeline’s mouth twisted in an awkward half–smile. “Come on, don’t be like that. The news hit me out of the blue, and I just couldn’t wrap my head around it right away. Plus, isn’t it safer for you if we don’t meet face–to–face? With the kind of top–secret work you do, if someone got a hold of your real identity, wouldn’t that put you in danger down the line?”
“That’s a pretty weak excuse.” The person on the other end let out a dismissive snort, but before Evangeline could get another word in, they added, “I’ll go along with it.”
The call ended, leaving Evangeline with her heart pounding over her old friend’s sudden request to meet
She was no stranger to adrenaline–pumping stuff like car races and dance–offs. Meeting someone from the Internet, on the other hand, was uncharted territory for her.
She took a deep breath to steady herself and then dove into the files Snow Wolf had sent her way.
