The Wrong Woman

With his eyes closed, Nathan asked sharply, "Do you want to be investigated as well?"

"I'm sorry, General Morrison," Cole apologized quickly. "I'm deeply loyal to the country and you. I don't see the need for an investigation."

Nathan had never considered investigating Cole. He usually trusted the people he surrounded himself and wouldn't be involved with those he doubted. Unfortunately, his excessive trust had allowed Lucas to betray him and Fenna to deceive him brazenly.

"Drive on," muttered Nathan.

"They don't support, understand, or help their husbands at work and can't even handle having a female assistant."
