An Agent for Gillian
Page 12
She loved him in such a way that made her realize that she didn’t have to give up Michael – but rather it cemented her memory of him and gave her a chance to heal in a way she’d never imagined.
Michael had been her heart – but Cade was her soul.
“You’ve always said your piece, Cade,” Archie teased, “Why stop now?”
“I was down there in those mines and perhaps John Kehoe is right to want to unionize the mines. There are children working down there. The mines are unsafe and it’s horrible working conditions – for very little pay.”
“I understand what you are saying but the law is the law,” Archie began firmly, and spoke plainly. “There is a way to go about making a difference in this world but doing so through illegal means is unacceptable. Blackjack Kehoe is inciting crime, damage, and destruction all in the name of helping miners. He’s not helping them- rather he is inciting people who are desperate for change to do the wrong thing. He could be a leader. He could be a great man, and has enough influence to make an impact, but he is going about it the wrong way. He is doing more harm than good.”
“He’s not a good man,” Gillian interrupted, speaking up finally. “I talked to him face to face. While his thought process towards improving the miners’ lives was right – that man was not a leader. He was someone that could live with killing another and sleep well at night. There was a coldness to his heart that gave him the ruthlessness he needed to get the job done. He will be dangerous until he is behind bars because he is justifying his crimes to himself mentally. He cannot see right from wrong if he is the ringleader of the Molly Maguires there.”
“We have enough to bring down the self-proclaimed King of the Mollies. You both did an excellent job – I can only hope that McKenna is able to extract himself safely when he’s finished, as you two did.”
“We do too,” Gillian replied.
“So tell me about the couple that came with you. I am to be meeting Fallon and Rourke this afternoon. McKenna apparently sent a letter on to Allan Pinkerton recommending this man as an agent. That’s very high praise coming from McKenna. What of Fallon? Does she have what it takes to do the job?”
“I believe so,” Gillian said, looking at Cade.
“Cade would you partner with Fallon?”
“What? No!”
“NO!”
Both hopped out of their seats and stared at Archie incredulously. His ruddy face split wide with a knowing smile as he leaned back and propped his feet onto the corner of his desk.
“Well, well, well. I take it that you two were able to get past your initial reactions to each other then. Last time you were both in my office, you were yelling at each other – and not at me.”
“My apologies,” Cade began, glancing at her. “But I won’t have another partner. I’ve got Gillian and I don’t want anyone else.”
“Fallon belongs with Rourke and they would make a wonderful team,” Gillian said, staring up at Cade tenderly. “Just like I belong with Cade.”
“So, it’s settled? No annulment is needed and you two won’t be bickering all the time creating a distraction?”
“No annulment is needed, Archie. Gillian keeps me focused while being the most beautiful distraction I could ever want or wish for. I love her.”
“I love you too.”
