Quartermain laughed. Baxter slowly moved his hands from his face, staring at the man in shock.
“You mean…you’re not here to kill me?”
“Not unless you know something I don’t,” said Quartermain. “The Agency has been very impressed with your work.”
“But…Dalton got away. He shot me.”
“Yes, but it’s only because of your help that we even knew who was behind this. That and your computer skills make you a very valuable commodity. The Director wanted to ensure that you were being properly utilized.”
Baxter shook his head. “I’m sorry, my head must be a little fuzzy from the painkillers. But it almost sounds like you’re offering me a job?”
Quartermain grinned. “That’s exactly why I’m here, Bax. The Director has asked me to put together a special team of operatives. You’re on the short list.”
“Payment?”
“I’m sure by now you’re aware of what we can do for you, provided you say yes.”
Baxter struggled to sit up in the bed and Quartermain helped him up, using the remote to raise the back of the bed. Baxter sighed, fumbling on the nightstand for his glasses and putting them on.
“So what’s the purpose of this little team?” he asked.
“If there’s a problem, we’re the ones who fix it,” said Quartermain, offering his hand. “What do you say?”
Baxter smiled, taking Quartermain’s hand in his own.
