I turned and he jogged up. I said, “What, now you want my help? Might I remind you that this is your mission?”
He grinned and said, “I got nothing for you, Pike. You mess with a mission of mine again, and I’ll rip your dick off.”
He turned to Jennifer, clearly uncomfortable. “This pains me more than you could possibly know, but your gut was right. I won’t make that mistake again.”
She smiled, a conciliatory expression that set him at ease. She said, “Trust me, I know how hard it is for you guys to say you were wrong. I started here with this man. He’s never wrong.”
Johnny said, “Hey, I didn’t say I was wrong…”
She said, “I know. And I appreciate it.”
He grinned, nodded at me, then walked away. We entered the elevator. I waited until the doors closed and said, “Honey badger don’t quit, huh?”
She smiled again, the radiance shining off her face at what she had done. By preventing both bombs from detonating, she’d saved the lives of more than three hundred people.
She slid her hand into mine and squeezed, then let go. Watching the elevator numbers tick down, she said, “No. Honey badger don’t quit.”
