TEN

Teague pulled the bateau to the dock and quickly tied it off. Three hours. It felt like a lifetime had passed since he’d bared his soul to Erin, then slipped into his boat and left her standing there, her fingers pressed to her soft lips.

It had taken everything in him to leave. He should have arranged an escort back to the hounfour, but he’d been so close to the brink, so close to saying things he shouldn’t, doing things he couldn’t …

Swearing none too softly, he pulled himself onto the dock and made his way up the path. He hadn’t been able to find out any more about the gris-gris, and he was only halfway through clearing his desk at the Eight Ball and getting orders put in when he’d heard from Skeeter. The deal was set for Sunday night. In Bayou Bruneaux. The logistics of pulling this off right in the middle of one of Belisaire’s rituals was a migraine waiting to happen.

Arnaud would be there along with the Haitian contacts Teague had been working on for the last eighteen months. But Skeeter had uncovered a tidbit of information that had just raised the stakes tenfold for everyone involved.

Arnaud’s boss, the man he acted as buyer for. The man that no one, not Teague, not his superiors, had been able to trace. They didn’t have so much as a name or a description. Just the knowledge that he was headquartered in the area. And now it looked as if he might show. The buy down on this deal was apparently too important to trust to a second in command.

If they could nail him …

He’d have Haitian and U.S. authorities nailing the suppliers offshore while he and Skeet and their team nailed the agents and the mainland buyer and supplier to points all over the States. A major drug channel into the bayou and the entire country would be shut down.

His bayou. He’d gotten on to this case when they tracked the buyer to Louisiana. When the location hit too close to home, he’d asked to be assigned directly to the case as the middleman. Coming home had been the hardest thing he’d ever done. But Belisaire refused to understand there was danger she couldn’t control or contain.

She’d accepted his return with surprisingly few questions, which made Teague suspect she knew more about his true role there than she’d ever let on. All he wanted to do was bring this deal off, make sure she wasn’t caught in the net, and slip away again.

But he’d gotten caught in a net he hadn’t seen.

Erin McClure.

Sunday night was taking on nightmarish qualities for him. Thank God, at least, she wouldn’t be in the bayou that night, since he couldn’t accompany her. But try as he might to get his head in the cold, unbiased mode necessary to pull off an operation of this magnitude, he couldn’t shake that moment on the dock when she said she wanted to know the man he was.
