Secret agent life

“That’s sweet of you.”

Dominic raises his eyebrows at the word ‘sweet.’

Joshua ignores him. “But none of this is actually your fault. You couldn’t have known how things were going to go down. My mom though… If I could get a message to her that no one else would recognize as being from me… would that work?”

“Perhaps. What do you have in mind?”

“I don’t know. Let me see if I can think of something. Unfortunately, I haven’t been leading some kind of secret agent life where I created code words with my mom.”
