The route he took to the Arches passed without incident. Driving without the headlights was dangerous, so he avoided speeding. Encountering no other vehicles, or animals, didn’t mean they were out of the woods but he for one was happy to arrive back at the borrowed ranch house.

Jammer sent a message to his phone, a single word. “Clear.”

After he decided on the plan, he clued Hank and the guys into where he was taking Wanda. They would provide support but hang back. Ideally, whomever was after her would get frustrated enough to make a stupid mistake—like come at him directly.

He’d appreciate a direct fight at this point. Just to make sure the woman accompanying remained safe.

“Nice place,” she commented after he parked in the garage. He didn’t want her in the open, but he kept the thought to himself.

“Belongs to a friend’s…” Maybe they didn’t need the pedigree. “Friend’s place. I’m staying here for the time being, and trading some repairs for the free roof over my head.”

“Sounds like good work if you can get it.” Weariness marked every syllable and step.

As much as he would like to spend more time with her, he said, “Why don’t you go upstairs, shower—I’ll toss a couple of my shirts in your room and you can use those. I can wash what you have until we sort it all out tomorrow.” Should he offer food? “I can even make a mean sandwich and leave it on the nightstand.”

The woman pivoted to look at him, drop dead gorgeous even with the ashes smudged on her cheeks and the red veins in her blood shot eyes. “You’re kind of perfect…any flaws I should know about?”

Hondo bypassed them both when they lingered in the kitchen. He went straight for his own food and water. “I’m the kind of guy who’ll do anything he has to protect what’s his, and what he promises to protect. Sometimes that means any means necessary. I’m also the guy who gets so focused on a task, he forgets to feed his dog.”

Troubled frown easing, Wanda lifted her hand and then raised her eyebrows as she motioned to his face. After his nod of permission, she traced a finger lightly over his cheek. “You need a shower, too. And some rest. You’ve also got a cut.”

“I’ll take care of it,” he assured her, then caught her hand and pressed a kiss to it. “Upstairs, first bedroom on the right. There’s a bathroom attached, and fresh supplies in it.”

It was a testament to her exhaustion that she squeezed his fingers and trudged up the stairs without a word of argument or complaint. More surprising though was Hondo. The shepherd gave him a long look, then trotted after her. Watch her back buddy.

In the kitchen, he put together a couple of ham and cheese sandwiches, nothing fancy but it would fill the hole. He contemplated coffee, but he wanted her to rest so he grabbed one of the water bottles from the fridge.

Upstairs, the sound of the water running told him she followed his suggestion.
