FIVE YEARS LATER…
The alarm went off at four. I was already up and moving before I hit the
button to turn it off. In the bathroom, I started the shower before I
turned on the lights. While I waited for the water to heat, I brushed my
teeth.
The shower took me seven minutes. I debated blow-drying my hair but
I’d rather get coffee going. I checked my watch as I pulled on sweatpants
and an oversized slouchy shirt. Fuzzy socks completed the work ensemble.
I pulled the covers up in a show of making the bed then headed for the
kitchen.
A pot of coffee was already hissing and spitting away. My espresso
machine waited for me and I grabbed a protein shake out of the fridge to
drink while I made myself a latte. When the coffee was ready, I poured it
into a thermos, then carried everything downstairs to the basement.
The door unlocked with a single code and then I was sliding inside to
my office. What had originally been a fallout shelter had required a facelift
and a series of installations.
I put together the best set up I could by using a wide variety of
contractors. A relative few had been given access to the house, but that was
before I moved in. Privacy was important. I set the thermos on the desk to
the right as I woke my systems up.
An array of fourteen monitors rippled to life as I settled in my chair. A
pop-up appeared on the center screen as I settled the headset on over my
damp hair. I entered the code for the VOIP and verified all firewalls were
active before I hit answer.
“Talk to me,” I said, then took a long drink of my latte.
“Hello, Patch. It’s always good to hear your sexy voice. Did you roll out
of bed just for me?” Justus Locke’s name appeared on a screen as the log
noted his location. He was coming into the switchboard from somewhere in
the southern hemisphere. Ah, Sydney.
“Didn’t want to miss my favorite guy,” I teased. It took a few
keystrokes to work my way into the street CCTV in Sydney. At least he was
in one of the most surveilled cities in the world. They had some sixty
thousand odd cameras. Triangulating his location took a couple of minutes.
Ah, there he was. He was dressed in a t-shirt, khakis and what looked
like loafers. It was summer down under at the moment. He had a cell phone
to his ear and a bag slung over his shoulder. His position on the bridge in
Darling Harbor afforded him a nice view.
