Chapter 26

Reno, Brandi and Brad sat in the Lycan Link cafeteria. A spring thunderstorm was raging overhead. Wind whipped the rain against the window panes. The pounding of millions of tiny drops combined with the rumble of overhead thunder to make a cocoon of white noise that effectively blocked out the conversations from nearby tables. It would seem the gods were providing some measure of security for his meeting, Reno mused. The Anti-Fae group weren’t the only ones who could find signs in mere coincidences.

“You’re sure?” Brad gripped his fork tightly, concern evident in the way he ignored his meal.

Reno took a swig of his coffee. “Given what Rafe told me, I have no doubt.”

“We’ve been wrong before, with deadly consequences.” Brandi looked at him with concern, lines of strain showing on her face.

“This operation is a crap shoot, Babe. You know that. We gamble and hope we’re right, but there are no guarantees.” Reno met her gaze and wished he could offer her the assurances she wanted, but he couldn’t. She was too tender hearted for this kind of operation. Hell, it ate away at him too and he was supposedly a trained, emotionless Enforcer. Every time he thought of the victims they’d failed to save bile rose in this throat.

“Well, if this is our best bet, then we need to move before it’s too late.” Brandi began tapping her foot, obviously wanting to do something. Reno placed a calming hand on her arm.

“We have to move cautiously. If we go rushing in, guns blazing, we’ll scare them off. Catching some of the key players in this operation is paramount.” He could feel her muscles tense under his hand; she’d always had soft spot for Damien and would find this next bit difficult. He knew he would. Sitting back and letting things unfold as they must ate away at his gut, but this was how Captain Fielding had orchestrated the plan. And with the captain on special assignment, making sure it played out as it must was his responsibility.

“It’s the only way,” Brad agreed. “Given what Rafe told you, the fact that Damien is in the area, and a part Fae female as well, I’d say it’s highly likely that we’ve found the next target.”

“Do we know anything about her?” Brandi asked.

Brad shared what he’d learned. “Information is scant, but it appears she’s just entered the awakening phase, and possibly hasn’t even made contact with another of her kind. There’s no record of who registered her, which is a bit unusual, though it could have been some elderly family member who saw potential in her as a child. Anyway, her name’s Eve—”

“This is awful.” Brandi interrupted, scowling. “The poor girl is being targeted for what she is, and she’s barely even realized it herself.”

“Rafe is in the area. He might know her.” Reno rubbed his neck. “Thing is, do we tell Rafe what’s going down or not? He could become overly protective of her.”

“And we need the attempt to be made, otherwise all we have is speculation.
