"WE SHOULD GIVE OURSELVES up.""No, we can't.""They'll throw us in a hole and we'll never get out.""We can't stay here."Kawa listened to the not so quiet conversation going on behind him.He'd known he did not have his men's faith, that they were here because they'd been assigned and now their fates were tied together. There still had to be a way out of this."Stop. Be quiet." He turned to face them.The woman stared up at him."There has to be a way off this boat," he said. The next logical step was right there. He couldn't think of it though. "Think. How do you get off a boat this size?""The doors?""Lifeboat.""Yes!" That was the word he'd been looking for. "We need to get to the lifeboat."Problem was, he had no idea where that was or how to get there and the FBI were right behind them. But if they could find it and get off the ship, they might survive another day.***RYAN CREPT DOWN THE hall, peering into rooms.This was going to take forever.By himself h

Chapter 322

CARSON BRACED HER HANDS on the door leading into the tangerine colored submarine looking boat."No. No, leave me," she begged.Kawa turned toward her. If she weren't more afraid of what would happen on the boat that look would have scared her."Get in here," he snarled and grabbed her."No," she wailed.He yanked on her arm. She pitched forward going to her knees hard on the floor of the boat. The pain shooting up to her hip was worse now. Tears prickled her eyes.She curled her legs under her. Could she run? If she was too hard to control would they leave her? Or would they kill her?The remaining man climbed into the boat, leaving Kawa standing over her.They were going to make her get in that thing.A bang rang out, the sound of it echoing through her memory.For a moment everyone paused.Another blast of gunfire, closer this time, rang out.A man yelled. Another called out, maybe for help.The man at the front of the boat shouted something at Kawa who drew a gun.Cars

Chapter 323

CARSON SAT HUNCHED IN the cold, metal chair. She'd never known wrenching a shoulder out of its socket could be so painful. The muscles across her back ached and there was a deep soreness in her chest. The paramedic who'd seen her at the dock had warned her she might have some other injury he couldn't tend to and Agent Walker wasn't about to allow her something as simple as seeing a doctor.She'd lost count of the hours left alone in this room with nothing more than two metal chairs and a table.At least they'd taken the handcuffs off?Whatever came next she could handle it.Mom and Dad were safe.She had to believe Ryan had found Frankie.The nightmare was almost over. At least she hoped so.Whatever happened to her, she'd be okay. Somehow or another even if she was at fault. It was still surreal that Agent Walker had arrested her. She'd been in so much pain at the time she hadn't quite heard everything he'd said.The air kicked on, blowing another blast of frigid air through t

Chapter 324

RYAN SQUEEZED MRS. ADAIR'S hand and nodded at the doctor. Mr. Adair was confined to a wheelchair until his knee was properly looked at, something the man did not seem pleased about.Both Mr. and Mrs. Adair stared at the doctor with wide-eyed shock."She's going to be fine," Ryan said, repeating the doctor's words. He was as relieved as anyone else about Frankie's prognosis after surgery.When Ryan's EMT buddy had rolled Frankie out of the boat, he'd kept his medical opinions to himself, which wasn't normal. Kade liked to combat fear with facts, only this time he hadn't said anything. Which could only mean that Frankie's wound was bad."Oh, my baby." Mrs. Adair leaned sideways toward him, resting her head on his shoulder.The doctor perched on the coffee table sitting in front of them and glanced at Mr. Adair. She was a bit young for Ryan's tastes, but if she could do the job, he didn't care if she wasn't old enough to buy beer. The one thing he needed to be able to tell Carson whe

Chapter 325

JOE HAD MADE A lot of speeches during his career with varying degrees of importance. Today's felt as though it carried more weight. Both of the topics could warrant their own address, but he was only going to get one shot at saying this. Once he dropped these two truth bombs, things would spin out of control.He stared at the black and white printed words on the page Aslan had given him before going out to push through Joe's release. It had been a long time since he'd written his own speech. He'd forgotten how arduous it could be choosing the right words. He hoped he hadn't messed up."Mr. Neilson?" An officer approached the cell doors."Come to call me home?" Joe stood and buttoned his jacket. He'd have never thought the day would end with him about to resign, but he should have known that he would never get away with this crime."Yes, sir."The officer walked him through the release process. Joe's things were returned to him before he was shown out into a public area where his l

CARSON HUNCHED LOWER TRYING to keep as much of her inside the coat as possible. Except for Owen and the lawyer she hadn't seen anyone in what felt like days. It was just her and this room.Would she ever get out of here?Someone tapped on the door.She frowned and said, "Come in?"The door swung open and Owen stood there, his blue eyes twinkling."Ready to go?" he asked."Is that a trick question?""Come on."He held her chair while she got to her feet."I think I'm completely frozen," she said."Sorry about that. I tried to adjust it." He placed his hand on her back. "There's someone here who'd like to see you."Carson didn't know if that statement was a warning or a promise.Owen guided her out of the interrogation room and through a few doors into a spacious office area."This is bullshit," Walker spat."You have the right to remain silent," a man with bright red hair said as he clapped cuffs on Agent Walker.Carson stopped in her tracks and watched along with everyon

Chapter 327: Epilogue, four months later

CARSON SAT IN HER car out in front of the guy's house and gripped the steering wheel.This was the past all over again.Everyone except Ryan was home, and she had a bomb to deliver.She glanced at the folded up piece of paper in the seat next to her and her stomach clenched.She wasn't sick with whatever was going around the office unless she could be sick with a baby.A baby.A real one this time."Oh, god." She sank down further into her seat and looked up at the tree shading the lane out front.Last week those leaves had been green. Now they were turning colors. She'd held the ladder when Ryan had to trim the branches a few weeks before that. Somehow lawn care had fallen to the two of them. She didn't mind pitching in and helping around the guy's house. She slept there as often as she slept at her apartment. Weeding the flower beds was therapeutic. She liked the sound of the mower and the smell of the grass.They'd just found their rhythm. Things were normal. Perfect.She

Chapter 328: Epilogue 2

NINE MONTHS LATER...CARSON HAD VISIONS OF what bringing her baby home would be like. How everything would be perfect. Her maternity clothes would be gone. Jessica had bought her that adorable maxi dress Carson wanted to wear home. She'd be comfortable. Family would be in the wings ready to fawn over the child.Reality was anything but."Welcome home." Ryan beamed at her, already settling into the role of excited new dad with gusto."Is she still asleep? Did you check her?" Carson had hoped her waddling days were over, but after two days of being in labor, most of her still hurt."She's fine. You're the one I'm worried about. Come on." He took her hands and guided her through their tiny living room, down the hall and into the master bedroom.Their big, comfortable bed beckoned. After being in the hospital for a week between the delivery and recovering from her emergency C-section, the mattress was a slice of heaven. She was looking forward to lying down without having to dodge

Chapter 329: Dangerous Betrayal Prologue.

Volume 7: Dangerous BetrayalALEC ESPOSITO KNEW AN impossible op when he saw one. He'd been on plenty of impossible ops during his days as a SEAL. Foolishly, he'd thought civilian life would be easier. Somehow his private security days were a lot more harrowing.Sitting in the conference room of the Aegis Group Seattle office, he could feel the bite of danger just watching the intel unfold. His housemates were there with him, focused on the screen laying out the numerous reasons why they should not be focused on this op. And yet, they'd all promised to go. Because every military branch and diplomatic mission had failed one woman for ten years. It was a miracle the almost sixty-year-old documentary film maker was still alive after being in the hands of Al-Qaeda then ISIS. Their latest intel said that Jules Neilson had traded hands again and was temporarily in Damascus, Syria.There was another woman in that city. One Alec had a far more personal connection to.Vara Price.His hea

Chapter 330: Wednesday. Streets of Damascus, Syria.

ALEC GUNNED THE MOTORCYCLE'S engine and didn't slow down heading into the turn. The wheels skidded and the ungodly motorcycle-cart contraption went in a wide arc onto the next street. This late at night there wasn't as much foot traffic, which was a blessing and a curse. He glanced down the road behind them at the truck barreling after them."Hold on, Jules." Alec gave the bike everything he had and prayed it would be enough. "Ryan? Zain? Anyone-do you copy?"Still no fucking answer.Everything was going to hell. If they made it past tonight without getting their brains splattered across the pavement, he'd call it a win. He had no idea where his team was or if they were alive.His focus was Jules. It had to be. He couldn't risk thinking about anyone else until he'd secured her. How he was going to do that was a mystery.If Alec didn't make it through the two security checkpoints in the next twenty minutes he'd be stuck in this area until morning. The curfew was about to drop and t
