can’t have all of her time. Come on Colin, this is about to be your sister-in-law… it’s only a week… I just wish we could get married already.
    Traffic held him up a little, causing him to be a few minutes late. He jumped out the car and ran with the sign in his hand. He stood at the arrival terminal holding up the sign, Leah London.
    Colin heard someone calling from behind. He turned around and saw Leah walking up to him. “Hello there, you must be Colin? I saw you with the sign when I was coming down the escalator.”
    “Yes, I am. And I take it that you’re Leah?”
    “Yes, nice to meet you, Colin. And thanks for picking us up.”
    “Us?” Colin asked puzzled.
    Leah pointed to the baggage area. “Yes, my friend Justin and his friend Preston are also with me. I hope you don’t mind. They’re retrieving our bags.”
    Colin felt stunned. “No, no, I don’t mind,” he responded hesitantly.
    “Good, because I know Moe would really want to see this guy,” Leah stated as she pointed towards Preston at the baggage belt. Preston grinned back.
    What? Colin gasped.
    Colin quickly glanced over Justin and Preston. It was enough for him to gain a surface surveillance of two male subjects he knew nothing of. Justin, a white male with black curly hair and a medium build, six feet even at the most with a beard and mustache, and grey eyes. Preston, who was more of his concern because Leah said that Moe would really want to see him. Preston was six-one and looked educated. He had reddish brown hair, a clean shave, was well dressed, and had green eyes. Colin felt concerned.
    More importantly, why didn’t Moe tell me they would be with Leah as well?
    Colin led them to the garage where his car was parked. He hit the automatic unlock switch and the trunk of the car raised up. The men loaded the trunk with their luggage. Leah and Colin got in the car.
    “Leah, why would Moe want to see Preston?” Colin inquired.
    “Oh, Moe didn’t tell you about Preston? He’s her BFF. Is she home waiting for us?”
    No. Moe didn’t tell me about the BFF. “Hm. No, she’s still at work. She wanted me to drop you off and let you into her condo.”
    “That’s fine. I’ll wait for her. That’ll also give us time to unwind and take a shower.”
    “Alright, I’ll let Moe know that you all are settled in when I get back to the office.”
    “Thanks again, Colin.”

    Colin stopped at Monica’s office after work before she left for home, and knocked on her door.
    “Yes. Come in.”
    He entered. “Hi.”
“Hey, I tried to call you around one, but you didn’t answer your phone. You probably still had it on silent.”
    “Oh, yeah. I got your missed call, but as soon as I got back, the Director called me into his office. I think something is brewing.”
    “What do you mean?”
    “I can’t really say, but we’re getting a lot of briefing and even still they’re not telling us everything just yet.”
    “You think something is going down soon. I don’t know, but you know how they are. This can go on for months on end.”
    “Yeah, that’s true.”
    Colin walked over to Monica to give her a hug and kiss. She welcomed his affection.
    “I missed you today.”
    “Likewise, babe. I had a rough day today too. How’s my sister.”
    “She’s good and was getting settled in when I left her.”
    “Good, that’s good, I can’t wait to see her.”
    “Anyway, Moe, before we leave I have a question for you.”
    “Shoot.” She laughed. “I like saying that.”
    “Yeah, I know.”
    Monica walked behind her desk and sat down, and Colin took a seat in the single chair next to it.
    “Come on, spill the beans so we can get out of here. What is it?”
    “Moe, who is Preston and why didn’t you ever mentioned him?”
    “Preston is a good friend. Actually, he was my best friend for a long time. Why? How do you know about him?”
    “He’s here with your sister along with Justin.”
    Monica jumped to the edge of her seat and
