Chapter 11

Hal settled next to Tracey on the bedroll. This was probably the weirdest call she'd ever taken from Mick since she had started working for her boss. Outside, yeah, that was usual when she was working a case, with the birds singing and a breeze ruffling pine needles or leaves of trees nearby. The sound of a creek in the background, sometimes. A waterfall, never. But it was the image of one hot male shifter sitting naked next to her on a bedroll while she was naked—that was what made the situation so secretly tantalizing.

She didn’t want Hal to get dressed just yet. She didn't want to give any of this up. Just yet. Though she suspected her boss was going to give her a lecture big time because she'd run off to meet with Ricky last night and got herself and him into trouble.

She figured she'd sidetrack the situation quickly. "Did the investigators find any real clues about the traffickers? Did my sister's photos show anything else of importance?"

"I need you to go home."

"What?" Now that was a real twist, but it worried her also.

"Your parents' home, I should say. Your dad asked me to call you—"

"Wait, what?" Her dad had called her boss and not her?

"Your dad called me after I asked Jessie for her photos. She's staying with them for the week."

"Yeah, okay, but if he wants me to come home, why did he ask you to ask me?"

"He figured I'd lend more weight in the matter. I want you to go home—to your parents' place. Jessie's there. You and your dad can safeguard her."

Tracey's heart began to race. "You think my sister really needs protection? That they could be after her now?"

"Your informant is right. The two of you look too much alike. And after she took pictures of the cave where the evidence was found, it appears you are one and the same person, and you're gathering evidence."

"That I would showcase on Facebook? Get real."

"To draw out the traffickers. You've been known to be rather reckless on occasion."

She couldn't believe they'd go after her sister. But then again, she could see the problem. "Why don't you put Jessie in a safe house?"

"Are you kidding? The two of you are as different as the seasons in Colorado, but this is one area that you two are identical. You and she refuse to be locked up for your own protection."

"So you've decided you want us both locked up at my parents' house instead?" Irritated to the max, she glanced at Hal. He was studying her, there for her, but keeping quiet so she could deal with this on her own, which she appreciated.

"Listen, this past Christmas, you were chasing down leads on the case of the piranhas smuggled into the U.S. You've been working nonstop since then. Take the time to spend with your family. They'd appreciate it, and you're close to them, so no problem there. And, oh, by the way, if I didn't mention it earlier, you are on administrative leave.
