Summary
"Nile made her bed with an orderliness that would do her old drill sergeants proud. She did fifty push-ups on the carpet next to her bed, then did fifty more one-handed. She did sit-ups until sweat poured down her back. Slipping silently into the elegant tiled bathroom, she showered in cold water in less than five minutes, leaving the shampoo and soap in neat rows. She didn’t have a uniform, but she freshened herself up and dressed with as much military precision as she could muster. When duly presentable, she came down into the main level.
Joe and Nicky weren’t there, but Andy was already awake, sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of black coffee and a triangular slice of baklava on a plate. She was fully dressed, but her feet were bare, propped up on her chair as she read a book in — apparently — Turkish.
Nile stood at parade rest, a respectful distance away. 'Reporting for duty, ma’am.'"
