Justin woke up alone in his sparse room, feeling refreshed. He removed the poultice and leaned on his cane as he rose off the chaise. His knee supported enough of his weight that he could hobble around. It was worse than it had been since his surgery but a damn sight better than on the hill when Cemil and Cyrus had practically carried him back to the lodge.

Another shake was waiting for him next to the cupboard, so he drank it, pleased to find it was still ice cold. He had no idea what Sage put in them, but they were damn good and, as a plus, he felt better after he drank one too.

He made his way to the elevator and leaned against the wall on the way down, trying not to remember how he’d nearly taken Holly against this same wall. With his knee so fucked up, he likely wasn’t going to have sex standing ever again. He could barely hold himself up, let alone a woman too.

The elevator opened at the bottom, and he went to the house computer. The lack of technology and connection to the outside world suited him just fine, but the truth was it made what he needed to do now a hassle. Within the human world, the police would be investigating Tom’s attempt at murder, and his special op unit would have swooped in and taken over.

The Army didn’t know and would never know what happened on the island unless Justin told them. It wasn’t the secure channel he normally would have used, but he had to make sure his men were protected and Tom didn’t come after them.

Before he started typing, he clicked on the unread message from his superior. Justin’s discharge papers had been approved. His knee would never heal enough that the Army would place him in the field again. His career was over. And by the way, Tom was AWOL and suspected of being the shooter and a Para. Justin should watch his back. And his chest. And his head.

He shoved back from the computer, knocking over his chair. He had nothing to add that they didn’t already know. His career was over.

He’d begun to believe that the Army was a place where he could belong forever. He’d die with them or eventually retire and be part of their older generation. Now he was nothing.

Fucking knee.

He should have made Tom spend more time on the shooting range, so he could have hit Justin’s skull and finished him off.

The lady at the desk clucked her tongue at him and his tipped over chair. He swore her name was Myron, but she was wearing a name tag that said Dana.

“You’re supposed to be down at the hot springs now,” she said, spreading out her ever-present deck of cards.

“To meet my demise?” He limped toward her. He could never make sense of her card combinations, but he’d also never seen her be wrong in her predictions either.

“No. All is secure. There is no danger tonight.
