Aegis Group Lepta Team Chapter 103: Samuel, Yvonne
Saturday. The Madison, Washington, DC.SAMUEL WAS GOING TO pull this off.He checked his reflection in the mirror, ensuring the stack of towels concealed his gun.The men already upstairs had confirmed that there were only two cops on the floor where the family was staying.This would work."Everyone is in position," Karuki said."On the move," Samuel whispered and headed out of the staff area and toward the service elevator.The remaining team echoed Samuel's comment.In five minutes they'd all converged on the all. Two wrangled a maid trolley. One had a luggage cart.The two cops sat outside the suite, looking at their phones.Too easy."Now," Samuel whispered.He dropped the towels and lifted the gun.Two shots rang out from behind him, the bullets hitting their targets. Both cops toppled over. The silencers made the shots quieter, but there was no mistaking the sound to the trained ear.Samuel reached the suite door, knelt and pulled a keycard from th
Aegis Group Lepta Team Chapter 104: Yvonne
Yvonne crossed her legs and sat up a bit straighter. She picked at one plate after the other while listening to the sounds from the shower.She wanted to stay in this bubble where she could pretend it was all perfectly okay.The bathroom door squeaked.She held her breath and watched as inch by inch, Nolan came into view.He wore clean sweatpants and a black T-shirt that molded to those arms of his. He dragged a towel over his hair, one eye peering at her."Food good?" he asked."Yeah." She set her fork down, no longer hungry.He tossed the towel over the back of a chair then crossed to the bedside. He perched next to her, picked up her fork and stabbed a bit of the pasta. She twisted her hands in the sheets, both hungry for his nearness and dreading what came next."Are we going to talk?" she blurted when the pressure in her head grew too much."Sure." He set the fork down then twisted toward her, stretching his left arm along the headboard. "I don't know where to st

Saturday. Private Recovery Facility, Bethesda, MD.NOLAN MET GRANT AND the others in the lobby of the recovery facility. He'd practically walked a hold in the carpet runner, his mind ping-ponging from the paused conversation he'd been having with Yvonne to the disappearance of her family."Do we know where they are?" Nolan asked.His gaze skipped over the guys.Melody was missing. She'd been left with the family. He had no doubt that it was Samuel Ito come calling to protect himself. He'd hit at the perfect moment, too."No. Zain and Gavin are on it. The FBI want answers." Grant stopped toe-to-toe with Nolan. "We need to know what's really going on here. No more lies."Yvonne knew, but she was still fragile."Come on." Nolan turned and strode toward the elevators."How is she?""How do you think?"They filed into the elevator. Nolan used their code to gain access to the floor. The nurses on duty gave him the stink eye, but they'd been doing that since Yvonne had

Saturday. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Washington, DC.NOLAN HAD THOUGHT AFTER putting Yvonne into the ambulance that today had gotten as bad as it could get.He'd been wrong.Driving around the airport knowing he'd left Yvonne pissed off and hurt was worse and compounded by fact they all knew her family might very well not come out of this alive."FBI is calling again," Grant said via the headset."We should use them." Nolan kept his gaze on the street. It was complete bullshit their only possible action was driving around aimlessly waiting for a lead."And tell them what?" Vaughn glanced at him. "How long would it take to get them up to speed?""Fuck. FBI again.""Answer it," Nolan said."I am." Grant cleared his throat. "Hello? ... Yes, Agent Brooks, I-what?"Nolan's muscles tensed and he eased to a stop at the curb, every fiber of his being wanting good news."Ito's at the airport, private hangar." Urgency vibrated Grant's voice.Nolan twist

Sunday. Private Recovery Facility, Bethesda, MD.THE ACHES AND PAINS had set in. Yvonne's head hurt. The night nurse had encouraged her to take some pain pills. Yvonne had declined. It was already too hard to stay awake.She turned the faucet on and splashed cold water on her face. The icy needles shocked her awake again. She straightened and looked herself over in the mirror.Boy, she was a sight.The lump on her head was going down, thanks to whatever miracle cream the nurses had given her. There wasn't anything that could be done about the bruising. It looked far worse than it felt. The electrical burns on the other hand hurt far worse. But she would heal. The physical hurts always did.It was the ones she couldn't see that worried her.Nolan hadn't called her back. There was no word except for a short phone call from Dad. She had no idea what happened where they all were. With the early morning hours creeping onward, they were probably sleeping.Yvonne turned the l

NOLAN CLOSED HIS EYES and breathed in the scent of shampoo, soap and disinfectant.She hadn't tossed him out. She'd listened to him. Maybe he'd get her to forgive him, too?He'd never forget staring into her wide, fearful eyes right before he'd shut the closet door on her.I love you.He bent his head and kissed her brow again, so damn grateful everything had worked out.She tipped her chin up. Her hand rose to cup the back of his neck. His whole world shrunk to her lips, the sweetest ones he'd ever kissed. When he would have pulled back, she shifted closer, holding him tighter. All he wanted was her in his arms, his life, his heart. He was powerless against this tiny woman.Yvonne slid onto his lap, her fingers weaving through his hair.This could get out of hand fast. As much as his cock wanted to sink into her, there was more to discuss. He groaned and broke the kiss, burying his face in her hair.She laid her head on his shoulder and wrapped her arms around him.H

Three Months Later. Krieger Inc Company Garden Party, Los Angeles, CA.YVONNE ADJUSTED THE FLOWING shawl she'd draped around her torso and glanced around the entry to the party. Her baby bump was only noticeable because she'd dressed to show it off. Today was, after all, Baby Day.The calendar she kept on her desk at work had a secret code countdown to this weekend. By some magic, she'd found the perfect candidate to replace her. The woman was a whiz, handled Theodore like a champ and didn't back down. For the last month Yvonne had mostly been warming a seat, doing a pittance amount of work, while wanting to be anywhere else.Her mind was made up, and she had no reservations about today.A warm hand came to rest on the small of her back. She glanced up at Nolan and smiled. He and Vaughn had flown in at three that morning straight from a job he still wasn't ready to talk about just to be with her."Okay." Tabby strode through the doorway leading to rooms closed off for toda

Volume Three: Dangerously DeceivedWednesday. Aegis Group, Seattle, WA.VAUGHN FERNANDEZ WASN'T ready for the real world. Out there, off the job, he had a thousand pound weight to deal with. Things were so much simpler when he was working. Their objective was always clear, get the asset, get out. If only there were clear-cut rules for life.He bent and grabbed his gear bag from the pile in the lobby, intending to head to the bunk room for a few hours of sleep before he caught a plane to Texas. The rest of the team was probably sitting around, bullshitting or going over the upcoming trip to South Africa. Vaughn wished he could get excited about the trip, but not when he was worried about his brother. Again.Mom hadn't asked for his help. They'd been through detox enough that she had her own system down. But he knew she'd appreciate the company at least, on top of all the other things Vaughn did when he was home.Zain Lloyd, the man in charge of the Seattle office, steppe
