The windows were tinted so Clint could see out, but whoever was outside, couldn’t see in. There were two cars, one blocking them from the front, another had pulled in behind. They wore military fatigues, but not American. A chopper overhead acted as their eyes in the sky.

“Rhetta?” He shook her. He thought he’d protected her from hitting her head, but she’d screamed and then hadn’t moved since. “Rhetta?” He lifted her off the floor. She wasn’t bleeding and as soon as he held her, she fought him, screaming in Russian.

“Rhetta, it’s me!” He wrapped her tightly, close to his chest with her arms crossed in front of her, to subdue her but not hurt her.

Someone knocked on the window and she screamed again. His driver got out and held up his hands, slowly making his way back, then opened the door. “I’m sorry, sir. They threatened me…”

He nodded to Patton and left Rhetta in the car as he climbed from the back, hands up. “What’s this all about?” If he could manage to just protect Rhetta, he might be able to get them out of this.

A younger man came forward. “Mr. Sage, I think I will ask the questions, if you don’t mind.”

He did mind, especially since the man knew his name, but he had no clue who he was. The only indication was the man had the same Russian accent as Rhetta, and that worried him. If this was her brother, why would the brute that burned her chase her all the way to the U.S.? How would he even get into the country? “Fine, ask.”

“How is it that you know my sister well enough to wed her? I’m disappointed that I didn’t get an invitation.”

Rhetta climbed from the back seat and he held back a curse. He’d wanted her to stay securely in the car. He’d had it armor plated, for his own safety. Expensive as hell to drive, but safer.

“Stephan, go home. I’m not your concern anymore.”

“Кохана.”

She flew into a rage, stomping toward him. “You pig. Don’t you dare ever call me that.”

The man in green fatigues and black bulletproof vest strode forward and raised his arm to backhand her.

Clint’s training kicked in even without thinking and he yanked her behind his body. “Care to try that now?”

Stephan’s arm slid to his side, but he didn’t back down. “My sister is here illegally. I’m here to take her home, where she belongs. Courtesy of our government.”

He couldn’t glance over his shoulder to see Rhetta, but he could feel her presence behind him, gripping his jacket tightly.

“She isn’t here illegally, she’s on a travel visa and headed to her wedding right now, where she’ll begin the process of becoming a citizen. You can’t take her.”

“Rhetta?” She slid her hands under his coat and took hold of his shirt behind him. “Is he the one that did that to you?” She didn’t say a word, she didn’t have to. He felt her hands shake. “Get back in the car.
