Bloody Acquisitions (Fred Book 3) (37 page)

“My luck isn’t that good,” I said. “But when the jobs come, they’ll just be accounting. I triple checked everything before applying as a freelance contractor; they can only offer me work in the specified field. Plus, I doubt even the Agency has found a way to turn number crunching into hazardous employment.”

“Let’s not put too much faith in that theory.” Krystal squeezed me once more, just before we reached the bottom of the stairs. “You may have really stepped in it this time, Freddy. You are damn fortunate that I’m always around to keep you safe.”

“You’ve got a point. Maybe my luck isn’t so bad, after all.” I kissed her there, at the bottom of the stairs, before we went to join the ruckus of a dining room I could already hear from down the hall. I’d taken a big gamble, binding myself to the Agency, and while it seemed like the right call for the moment, there was no way to know if it would work out okay in the end.

All I knew was that, no matter what came next, we’d be facing it together. Me, Krystal, and the small family of misfits we’d been blessed enough to gather together.

ABOUT DREW

Drew Hayes is an aspiring author from Texas who has written several books and found the gumption to publish a few (so far). He graduated from Texas Tech with a B.A. in English, because evidently he’s not familiar with what the term “employable” means. Drew has been called one of the most profound, prolific, and talented authors of his generation, but a table full of drunks will say almost anything when offered a round of free shots. Drew feels kind of like a D-bag writing about himself in the third person like this. He does appreciate that you’re still reading, though.

Drew would like to sit down and have a beer with you. Or a cocktail. He’s not here to judge your preferences. Drew is terrible at being serious, and has no real idea what a snippet biography is meant to convey anyway. Drew thinks you are awesome just the way you are. That part, he meant. Drew is off to go high-five random people, because who doesn’t love a good high-five? No one, that’s who.
