Ayden finished her shift and didn't linger to speak with any of the other girls like usual. Nikki made the excuse that she wasn't feeling well and patted her belly. No one would blame her as she slipped out the door with the envelope in hand.
The short trip home was quick as she drove without thinking. The envelope was burning a hole in her seat. She wanted to make it home before opening it with Connor. They were a family and they would deal with this together.
Ayden closed the door behind her. "Josh..." She said to enforce the habit. She didn't yell, but she made her way to the bedroom and found Connor packing. She wrapped her arms around his waist from behind. "Thank you for trusting me. But take a break." She pressed a kissed to the back of his neck and then sat down on the bed and held out the envelope. "This is a mission. I do it, or they blow my cover and all my identities. We can run or we can see what they want me to do. Whoever who "they" are."
