them, but the fear of losing everything had always stopped them. For some reason, Angie had been positive that's what would've happened, so instead, they were more like brother and sister. A shrink might say they were both using each other to replace the siblings they'd both lost but neither of them had ever felt that way, having discussed the subject a few times over the years. In the end, she wanted him to be happy with no regrets when he looked back on his life while on his deathbed. However, she didn't think it was possible for him, at least not at this point in his life.
    Sighing, Angie looked at the time on her cable box again and was about to grab her purse when her cell phone rang. Glancing at the screen she saw it was Melvin calling her ten minutes before their date. She groaned, knowing what the man was going to say with the last minute call. Connecting the call, she walked to her back door and stepped out on the lanai because she had a feeling she was going to need some fresh air.

    Ian took two steps across Brody's living room toward the sliding glass door which lead out to the patio and stopped. What the fuck was he doing? He was only supposed to swing by and pick up a file his employee had to leave at his house after getting a frantic call from a corporate client very early that morning. The geek had hopped into his truck and headed straight to Orlando after alerting Ian about the problem. One of the company's own computer geeks had figured out a way to embezzle $800,000 from a corporate account. They needed Brody’s help to figure out how the guy did it, and how they could prevent it from happening again. So Egghead was now near Disney World for a least another day or two and Ian was standing in the guy’s living room. And he was trying to talk himself out of going out the back door to see if Angie was in her own backyard.
    After Athos had told them what he wanted to do, they got to work doing what they could to keep his best friend safe. They’d gotten lucky when she agreed to have her security system upgraded. Brody brought up the subject as subtly as he could while talking to her over their shared fence and the woman took the bait. So the next day, her new neighbor and Boomer installed their best system while telling her it was a normal setup for normal people who led normal lives and were probably not in any danger. Athos told them to spare no expense and gave them a credit card number to cover any cost differences from a basic unit. He had to let her pay something for the new installation otherwise she'd be suspicious.
    The teammates installed the whole system in one day. Then while Brody took Angie around the house and showed her all the neat features of it, Boomer took the time to install the last few things they didn't want her to know about. He'd placed a few strategic audio bugs and remote cameras, then installed a tracking device on her phone, wallet and car. He'd also managed to get a few of them inside several of her shoes which he'd found in her closet. Looking at how worn the soles were, he was able to pick the ones she seemed to wear the most. The flat discs were very small and he tried to put them where she or anyone else wouldn't notice them. If she did find one, chances were slim she would know what it was.
    Brody had also gotten friendlier with his new neighbor, not too friendly or Ian would've killed him, but enough so he found ways to check on her before and after work. Two days ago, he even invited her to join him for dinner on his patio and threw a couple of steaks on the grill for them. They wanted her comfortable enough with the geek in case anything ever went wrong. Athos had given them his handler's number, and a back-up pass-phrase Angie was aware of in the event they had to bypass the DEA altogether.
    If Brody knew that for the past three weeks Ian had been watching the live footage of her walking around her house, he would have laughed at what a stalker his boss was being.
