Sean looked at Allyson with a quizzical face from the back seat. “So when were you planning on telling us about this little gem of information?” She returned the glare with a smile. “I already told you, I was just following orders. That information was on a need to know basis.” “Heck,” Joe cut in, “it might be handy to have another gun around. Seems like she’s pretty good with it.” Allyson raised an eyebrow and grinned at the driver. “Thank you, Mac.” “It’s not that I mind you helping out,” Sean explained. “I just don’t like surprises. Better to know what I’m dealing with. You know?” “I understand,” she replied. “Don’t worry. No more surprises.” “You sure about that?” He looked dubious. “Pretty sure.” She squinted her eyes at him. Sean averted his eyes to the passing countryside for a moment before returning to the conversation. “How long have you been with Axis?” She turned around and faced forward while she answered him.
