Chapter 16

“I don’t like it, though,” Jace grumbled.

Taryn put a hand on his thigh and said, “I’ve been in danger for years.”

“I wish there was another way. I don’t like you being in that position.”

She smiled sadly. “I have to get my sister out. If there’s even a chance at that, I have to be there. I can do this. Especially with you there.”

Cooper sat forward in the chair. “You’ll have a much better chance of freedom with us along.”

“It’s a good plan,” Marlee added.

Jace ran a hand down his face and rose to his feet. “So much can go wrong.”

“Which is why I didn’t want you to do anything at all,” Taryn said. “Now do you understand why I tried to leave?”

He turned back to her and looked into her green eyes, then lowered himself to the couch and took her hand in his. “I do.”

“Good,” Cooper said as he clapped his hands together once. “We need to get a plan going.”

Marlee asked, “Taryn, do you know the address of where you were held? We need the schematics of the structure.”

Taryn rattled off an address that the other woman quickly wrote down in the pad of paper she pulled from her purse. Then Marlee ran to the kitchen, returned with a laptop, and began working.

“We’re going to need more than just the two of us,” Cooper said.

Jace pinched the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger. “Brice has a kid now. I don’t want to include him.”

“As if he would stay back,” Cooper replied with a snort.

Jace looked up at his friend. “Frankly, I don’t want you to go, either.”

There was a pause as Cooper glared at him. “If you tell me it’s because you’re afraid I’ll get hurt, I’m going to punch you in the face.”

“You’ve got Marlee,” Jace began.

“Who will be right in the middle of this,” Marlee declared in a no-nonsense tone.

When Jace looked at Taryn, she shrugged as if to say that he was on his own.

“Stop being an idiot,” Cooper told him. “You need me. And you know it.”

Jace blew out a breath and threw up his hands in surrender.

“You better call Caleb and Brice,” Marlee warned as she glanced up from the keyboard.

Jace’s and Cooper’s phones went off simultaneously. Jace pulled his out of his pocket and saw that Caleb had sent a message through their group text, saying that he and Brice would be over shortly. Obviously, Clayton had spoken to them, as well.

“There’s someone else I think we should call,” Cooper said.

Jace had already thought of it. “Cash.”

“Yep,” Cooper replied with a smile.

Jace nodded. “Get ahold of him. I’ve got a couple of guys I can call.”

“Hold up,” Taryn said. “Both of you are acting like you’re putting together an army.”

“What do you think Clayton is doing?” Jace asked her. “He’s getting men.”

Cooper shot her a wry grin. “It’s either us or the authorities. We’re trained in stealth and special reconnaissance, and we have no ties to Boyd, so nothing will get leaked to him.
