CHAPTER SIX

Hotel room was an understatement.

Jenna followed her GPS and ended up at a resort. There were towering palm trees along the well-groomed paths that led to the reception desk. She enjoyed the balmy breeze and the way it rustled the leaves of the trees.

“Welcome Ms. Sherlock, we have a sky suite waiting for you. We already have an account open for any incidentals. Just put everything on your room.”

Anything with the word suite used to describe it sounded amazing. She wasn’t disappointed either. She took the elevator to the thirty-sixth floor and followed the signs down the hallway to a door. It actually had a door bell and her key card opened it.

Inside, the lights came up as she entered. Softly illuminating creamy tile flooring and a sitting area with a plush set of sofas. The small kitchen area sported a complimentary basket of treats for midnight munchies and a tablet with a menu displayed for room service.

The bedroom was separate with a bathroom that came complete with a huge Jacuzzi tub.

Even Dare would have fit in it.

Stop thinking about him.

Yeah right. She took her canvas bag into the bathroom and stripped down. Everything was polished and immaculately clean. Music was just a tap of her fingertip away, and there was even a selection of spa-quality bath essentials for her to make use of.

Boy, she could get spoiled fast.

But a ping of loneliness went through her. All the luxuries in the world didn’t make up for the fact that she couldn’t count on Sam calling her up and launching into a venting session over his latest brush with the out-of-touch-with-reality clientele his business dealings brought to his storefront.

And Paul wouldn’t be along with a slant-eyed look at his husband while uncorking a bottle of wine to toast another event well done.

A touch on another tablet closed all the curtains and set the air-conditioner humming. Jenna crawled into bed, grateful for the training session with Kagan because she was tired enough to fall asleep.

Tomorrow, she’d get busy laying down the foundation of her new life.

There was nowhere to go but forward.

“Take backup.”

Dare felt his fingers tightening around his phone. “I can handle it.”

“If you’re telling me you’re going to make contact with a resettled witness and blow her cover to sherds, you’re taking a team to document,” Kagan laid out his opinion.

“She’s already back in contact with Kirkland,” Dare explained. “That’s three coincidences. Two too many.”

Kagan was quiet for a moment. “Take the team. Keep her in sight. This case is bigger than any of us realize.”

Dare dropped his phone as Kagan ended the call. Greer and Zane were leaning in the doorway, watching him. Neither agent looked like he was planning on budging.

“You win,” Dare grunted. “Kagan says the team goes with me.”

“Like I said,” Greer muttered. “You’re compromised. No way I’m letting you near that girl without eyes on your back.”

“I will perform my duties,” Dare insisted. His tone came across a little too dangerous though. Vitus caught him by the back of the neck and steered him through a doorway into a small bedroom.
