Chapter Fifteen

Gabriel admired the silhouette of the woman sitting in his passenger seat through the tinted glass. He strode across the gas station lot without fear of getting run over. This early, they were the only patrons, though in an hour or two this place would be bustling with people grabbing a drink or snacks for the beach.

God, she was something else. Utterly and completely amazing. He pressed the key fob to unlock his door, opened it, and dropped into the driver’s seat. Nikki’d left her dark hair down, and dressed in a bright blue tank top and shorts, she almost looked Miami enough to belong.

“Everything okay?” she asked.

“Yup.” He tossed the plastic bag into her lap, just for the sheer joy of seeing her turn red when she realized what he’d bought.

He watched her peer at his purchase out of the corner of his eye while he shifted into gear and eased onto the street that would take them straight to the beach.

“Only three?” she asked.

Her demure tone surprised a laugh out of him. Well hell, he liked this confident and sexy side of her.

“I figured that could get us through the morning.” He winked at her.

Nikki’s eyelids slid shut. She held them closed for a second before opening them again. Was that her version of a count-to-five technique for dealing with him?

“Where are we going again?”

Ah, ignoring his teasing. That was okay, they had time to get around to the fun stuff.

“Miami Beach,” he answered.

“Why?”

“Because I think best there. And—breakfast.”

“Well, all right then.” She placed the bag on the floorboard. “Emery hasn’t been able to track down where Wilson’s people are. All of the images of their vehicles can’t read the license plates, either.”

“That could be due to anything. Hell, clear gaffer tape works in a pinch to obscure license plates.”

They pulled into one of the many parking lots along Miami Beach. A food truck was doing brisk business. He parked across the road in the free lot to avoid any kind of bank or paper trail and walked over to the vendor. The cooks offered a variety of breakfast tacos, fruit, and bottled drinks. People in suits waited next to the morning swimmers, a testament to just how good this particular truck’s food really was. They left the tablets and files in the car and, armed with only breakfast and coffee, took to the beach. It was still early enough there weren’t many people out. Good, because he wanted to be able to do a bit of brainstorming while they sat and ate.

They settled in the sand, far enough away from anyone else that he wouldn’t have to be concerned about eavesdroppers.

“What does finding out where they’re holed up do for us?” he asked between bites.

“Tells us where their new base of operations is, it could give us leads to their connections, and it might reveal something about how Wilson has established himself.” She sighed. “There’s some trigger, something that’s happened to Wilson recently that’s the inciting action for all of this.
