âWell good to know thereâs nothing new there.â Odette snorted, rolling her eyes fondly. What sheâd been talking about didnât really matter at the moment- merely minor details from a mission report sheâd been asked to convey to him at some point, and frankly she was no oneâs secretary. Tucking a lock of loose hair behind her ear she shook her head at her old friend and colleague. How anyone was intimidated by him was beyond her. âWhat are we going to do with you Agent Cerberus?â
âIâd say fire me for negligence or something like that, but you and I both know itâs not that simple,â Lorenzo noted somewhat darkly, the tinge of humor still evident in his tone regardless of the nature of his quip. Odette was a saint for tolerating him. And something even better for possibly even liking him. âThe real question, O, is what can I make you for dinner tonight? Because youâre looking absolutely ravishing today.âÂ
âPlease - iâm way cuter, thatâs no excuse.â her bottom lip jutted forward in a pout.Â
âHey, hey--â Lorenzo started, holding up a hand in protest of her dramatically dejected expression. âYouâre definitely much hotter, but Mercierâs got that sexy Southern Charm thing going on, you know? Hard to resist.âÂ
âHow do you have higher clearance than me?â she shook her head.Â
Lorenzo snorted. It was a fair question, he supposed, but not one he could answer with any hint of seriousness. âIt probably has something to do with the crush Mercier has on me.âÂ

tavi rolled his eyes. âin the words of thomas jarsdel of jarsdel consulting: âare we just here to drink his booze and eat his food?ââ he wasnât complaining but he felt the need to gripe about something. ânot that it isnât good.â
lorenzo almost rolled his eyes, the sound of the familiar alias followed by a backhanded complaint doing just enough to irritate him for it to sound in his tone when he spoke again. âisaac can save his complaints for the bullpen, orders are orders.â he insisted sternly, but gently, wishing himself that they had more orders to give the agents. âitâs an open bar. all of you alcoholics should be happy.âÂ
Juniper nodded with a small, nervous laugh, mortification immediately making her wish more than ever that she was back at her desk, where no one could see her face. Shoveling another bite of food in her mouth so she didnât have to look at her very attractive, very intimidating boss. It turned her into a blabbing idiot every time they spoke. The food was good, everything tasted like the hosts had shelled out quite a bit for only the best caterer, which seemed a vaguely interesting thing to note, however when she opened her mouth intending to say that all that came out as a vaguely squeaky âYeah!âÂ
The otherâs reaction to his idle comment aside, Lorenzo felt bad about letting free a chuckle based on the look of the other alone. She looked so terribly out of place, despite looking like she was trying to fit in, that it was almost comical. Scooting around the table, he moved to sling an arm around the significantly smaller girlâs shoulder, pulling her into his side almost as if he were trying to hide her from the crowd. âTry to relax a little bit, agent. Nerves arenât going to help you any.â
sam waved her hand at the waiter indicating she wasnât partaking in the plate. âIâm sure.â she shrugged. âdonât want to ruin my lipstick.â she explained tipping her untouched champagne flute in her hand slightly as she held it like an accessory to her attire.Â
âof course you donât,â lorenzo retorted with a grin, eyeing the way the woman rolled the glass in her hand rather than actually drinking from it. she was doing what she needed to in order to blend in, which was good. everyone seemed antsy but considering command didnât know very much about what was going on either, it was hard to do anything but blend in. âand why would you? it looks so good on you, itâd be a shame to ruin the look.â
Roksana straightened from where sheâd been leaning against the wall, slowly nursing a martini and she studied the room for threats, muttering things of note to the intelligence agent left behind to pass along. She copied the mannerisms of a bored, apathetic heiress- easy as breathing, given her past, and that the party around them looked like a scene from her sullen teenage years. Even with the seriousness of the mission theyâd been given, she was still glad of the fact she was only here for espionage reasons. âLeave it to you to be thinking about the food.â She snorted, hiding a small smile with her glass.
âIâm a growing boy, Roksana,â Lorenzo shot back humorously to the young woman. With Roksana, Enzo played a somewhat odd role in her life--recruiter and mentor, the sole reason she was in the Circle was because he chose to take a chance. And itâd paid off, doubly so. Roksana was a stellar agent--devoted to the cause and not easy to sway from where she chooses to take a stand. âAnd who knows what Iâll need the energy for later. Proteins, kid...you can never have enough proteins.âÂ
âWho wouldâve guessed the way to your wallet was through your stomach.â Claire raised her eyebrows and took a long pull of her drink. Vodka on the rocks; low calorie and common amongst the Russian benefactors, she assumed. Her eyes glossed over the aforementioned food. âNice to see you in daylight, Lombardi. I thought they only let you out for meals and training day.â
âMmhm, I could say the same about you, miss Graves,â Lorenzo started back with a sly smile, his eyes darting around the wide hall in search of a place he could get a beverage to wash down all the food heâd been picking at--and any sign of Ivan Kunetsov and his associates. It was a risky job--trying to take out the entirety of an organized crime unit in one night--but they had to do it. All that was good and noble was on the line. âYouâre always holed up in the basement with your records and gadgets or whatever. But you clean up very nicely.âÂ
âFood isnât that bad,â Lorenzo commented idly between bites of something off an overpriced, over the top charcuterie plate. It wasnât common for members of the executive command to be in the field, but this particular mission required extra hands for more than one reason. âMaybe Iâll make a campaign contribution after all.â

Yooooooooooooooo! Ella here! This is my dumb puppy boy, Lorenzo. Ill probably post a full bio on him later, but hereâs what you need to know for now:Â
Lorenzo was born in Miami to a pair of addicts with no need or use for a child in their lives. He was put up for adoption right after he was born, but was adopted almost immediately after by Harold Crain and William Fong, a moderately wealthy couple that owned one of Miamiâs most popular downtown nightclubs.Â
His childhood was amazing. His dads had the kind of connections that made his life incredibly fruitful. He attended the best schools, was active in the community, and shipped off for the Navy right after graduating high school. His time in school specifically was enlightening. He shaped his personality and who he was through extracurriculars and participation in sports like football, soccer, and boxing. People noted his high school football career especially, and how on the field, he was ruthless and unstoppable, but a ball of sunshine while off it.Â
This didnât change at all during his life. When he went into the Navy, he excelled in boot camp, blew through his deployments, and clocked hundreds of achievements within the military during his six year career. Content with spending the rest of his life in the Navy, Lorenzo was faced with a choice when the Circle recruited him. After much thought, he pursued the job offered to him as an international espionage agent and rose in ranks after his junior training relatively quickly.Â
Sixteen years and hundreds of missions later, and heâs on the executive command now.Â
The Circle is his life and heâd do anything to protect it.Â
