CHAPTER 102

He frowned, the grooves between his brows deepening as if every word she said was a blow. “I-I didn’t know. I should have thought or realized or…been less selfish. I know saying I’m sorry doesn’t make up for everything I’ve done to you, but it’s all I have to offer. Well, that and my promise—as a man, as a father. I’ll never leave you high and dry again. I want to be a part of Hallie’s life. And I know you have no reason to believe me. Just give me a chance. Let me take you two to dinner.”Did he understand what he was asking? “Cash, she’ll be six months old tomorrow.”“Yeah.”Tessa tried not to roll her eyes. “You don’t know anything about babies, do you?”He had the good grace to grimace. “No.”“She doesn’t eat solid food yet.”“Oh. Do you, um”—he pointed vaguely at her breasts—“feed her yourself?”“She’s on bottles now.” Another fact that crushed Tessa. But with so much stress, not to mention the upheaval in her schedule with Hallie going to daycare, it was no surprise. She couldn’

CHAPTER 103

Weeks passed, and shit went from bad to worse.Zy knew he’d been an ass, so a few days ago he’d decided to swallow his pride and apologize to Tessa. He owed her that since she probably thought he blamed her for ending them. He had for ten minutes—long enough to behave like a douche and call Madison. More than anything, he’d been frustrated that Tessa had signed her contract without talking to him. He’d been on the verge of spitting out an impulsive idea that they move in together. It had made perfect sense in the moment. She could quit and stay home with Hallie. He made enough to support them both. They could be a family.Dream on, buddy.After her experience with Cash, what were the odds she wanted to depend on any man, much less commit to one she’d never even kissed?In fairness, to be with her, he could have quit himself. He would have found another job eventually, though not in his field. He’d had choices, but he hadn’t been thinking that day about anything except his fucking hear

CHAPTER 104

She was dating this douche again? “Bullshit. She has a restraining order against you.” “She did,” he admits. “She lifted it a few weeks ago. You know, when I moved in.” He was living with Tessa? That had to be a lie. If it wasn’t… Just the thought of this slime cohabitating made his blood boil. “I don’t believe you.” He reached into his pocket and produced a jingling ring, singling out one shiny key in particular. “This is mine. I moved in almost two weeks ago.” He leaned in. “And unlike you, pal, I’m not sleeping on the sofa.” Zy had to muster all his will not to lay waste to the motherfucker right here, right now. Cash laughed. “You should see your face. You’ve got it bad for her. Back in March, you wanted to do more to her body than guard it, but you never did. And now she’s mine again.” He dropped his voice. “In case you were wondering, we fuck. All. The. Time. She’s a lady in the kitchen but a total whore in the bedroom. And I’m here for it.” That did it. Zy was going to pu

CHAPTER 105

“Yeah. To be honest, if anyone had asked me which of the five of us was the mole, I would have put my money on Walker.”“Same.”“If he was secretly working for the cartel, they did a really good job of beating the shit out of him and making it look good. I believed it one hundred percent.”Zy guessed it was possible, but Occam’s razor suggested that the simplest solution was usually the right one. If he applied that principle to this situation, One-Mile was being held against his will, and he would fucking die if they didn’t do something soon.“Joaquin also suggested it was possible that Montilla had the jump on our information because we’d been hacked.”Trees turned to him. “You know…maybe. On Tuesday, the day before we left, they had some guy in the office they’d borrowed from Jack Cole and Deke Trenton over at Oracle. Um…he had an unusual name. Stone, that’s it. Apparently, he’s a hacker. After a little digging, I found out he did time for it, too.” He frowned. “Anyway, Logan told

CHAPTER 106

Tessa sent them all a tight, professional smile before she bustled away to order a dozen egg, bacon, and potato burritos from the Mexican food place down the street everyone loved.The flurry of activity continued all morning, and a few hours later, she was awaiting a call about the delivery of the subs she’d ordered for lunch when her desk phone rang.“EM Security Management, this is Tessa. How may I direct your call?”“Tessa, this is your…stepmother, Kathleen.”She’d never heard the woman’s voice, but a glance at the display told her the woman was calling from her dad’s number.Something was wrong.“What’s happened?”“Your father had a heart attack this morning. About an hour ago. They’re stabilizing him now. He’d want you to know.”“How serious is it?”“I don’t know yet.”Tessa wanted to ask a million questions at the same time she wanted to scream. If this woman hadn’t been trying to cut communication between her and her dad since they’d gotten married, she might have known from t

CHAPTER 107

Tessa hoped her house was still standing when she got there, but she was too tired to care about it—or him—right now.Finally, she wedged herself and all her crap toward the plane’s narrow exit, pausing to pick up the stroller from the attendant so she could set Hallie down and stash her gear.As she crossed the mostly empty terminal, it felt like a ghost town. She’d never seen the wide-open space with virtually no one filling it. All the restaurants were closed, the shops shuttered. Then again, it was after ten p.m. Hers was the last arriving flight today, thanks to her connection from Dallas being delayed. Night had fallen long ago. Darkness pressed in through the windows, making everything in her world seem bleak.Hallie fussed, wanting to get out of the stroller and move around. The baby was also tired and hungry, and Tessa didn’t blame her. She simply didn’t have a way to deal with her daughter’s unhappiness until they got home.Finally, she made her way to the bag claim, scannin

CHAPTER 108

“Fine by me. Anytime I don’t have to schlep Zy around is a good time,” Trees joked. “He’s a terrible backseat driver.”“Because I’m better behind the wheel,” Zy bantered, then cupped her shoulder. “I’m happy to take you two ladies home.”After a little more small talk, Trees followed the colonel out one door. Zy carried all her luggage while she pushed the stroller out to the parking lot through another. With a little direction from her, he installed Hallie’s car seat on the bench between them and got underway.“Thanks for doing this.”“You don’t need to keep thanking me.” He pulled out of the parking spot and got in line to pay the attendant. Once they’d left the airport, he turned back to her, the sharp angles of his face an interesting play of illumination and shadows as they drove past streetlights. “Tell me what sounds good. You want a burger?”Honestly, she couldn’t even think about food right now.Tessa shook her head. “I’ll be fine. I just need to get Hallie fed, changed, and

CHAPTER 109

I love you, too, baby.He kissed her forehead. That was as close as he dared let his mouth near hers. Besides, she didn’t need sex right now. She needed to rest in safety, in comfort, so she could escape and heal and rejuvenate.“It’s almost midnight. Why don’t you try to get some sleep?”“Because if I close my eyes, when I open them again, it will be morning. It will be time for me to go. And I don’t want to…”Jesus, she was killing him. Honestly, he didn’t want her to go, either. They still had over a thousand days before they wouldn’t be fired for giving in to their feelings. Yes, he was counting. “You can stay as long as you want.”“Thanks, but I don’t want to be a—”“Don’t say burden.”Her lips curled into a crooked grin. “Or you’ll spank me? Now that you clued me in, I can picture all of our bosses being that kind of guy.”It was probably a good thing that the tequila had her thoughts hopping from one subject to the next. If not, he probably would have asked her to move in and f

CHAPTER 110

“Walker—”“Never mind. Let’s talk through the evidence.”Something was going on in the sniper’s head, but Zy wasn’t here for advice or gossip. He had to help the friend who was his brother in all ways except blood. “I’ve talked to Trees about the night you were taken from the parking lot in Acapulco. He said you told him to leave.”“Yep. But I expected him to put up a little more fight, bring backup—something. He just drove off.”“What would you have done in his shoes?”“Shot a motherfucker or two.”Zy mentally counted to ten. “You know his specialty is computers and tech. He doesn’t have your gift with a gun. Pretty much no one does, man.”“Okay, but he didn’t come back or call anyone for hours, did he?”Everyone said Walker was crazy; no one had ever called him stupid. “You didn’t realize your food had been drugged?”“Why do you say that?”“Trees made it to the parking lot of the police station about a mile away and passed out. Some cop woke him up, like, twelve hours later. He didn

CHAPTER 111

Because it probably did. “Okay.”“I’ll be there as fast as I can, baby.”“I’m sorry.” She failed miserably at not trembling with fear.“Don’t ever apologize for needing me. I’m here for you.”Then the line went dead.“Goddamn it, Tess! Where the fuck are you?” Cash was getting closer. “I’m not chasing your ass in the dark.”She really wished he wouldn’t, but she had a terrible feeling he wouldn’t stop—until someone stopped him.With her heart lurching, she tiptoed out of the gazebo, to the corner of the park, and down the adjacent street, kissing Hallie’s soft baby curls to quiet her fussy grunts and soothing her with a whisper. Seconds ticked by like hours. The neighborhood wasn’t that big. It wouldn’t take Cash long to find her, unless… Could she possibly double back to her place, grab her keys, and slip away before he found her? Fleeing wasn’t her first choice. Nor was ceding her home to him, even temporarily. But it was better than whatever he had in mind.Tessa picked up the pace
