Chapter Nine

On the plane to Crystal City, VA

0430 CET

Mick didn’t want to let her go. There hadn’t been a lot of people who affected him this way, and it was hard for him be objective about Kaylee. He liked her. She was complicated and complex, and there was a good chance that if she ever saw the violence that he kept simmering below the surface she’d walk away and never look back.

But his life had never been easy or certain, and for this moment they were safe and he had everything he wanted in his arms. He didn’t want to go back out to the main seating area of the plane and remember the fact that someone there was more than likely working for Diavolos. But pretending had never been a game he was good at. And if someone on her team was working the other side, then Kaylee was in danger.

His protective instincts were sharp where she was concerned, and he felt that burning under his skin that he had to fight to keep control of. He set her on her feet and stepped away. One of the people she counted as a friend was probably betraying her.

He hoped like hell he was wrong about that.

“Why don’t you grab a shower?” he suggested. “There are some Grimaldi Global shirts and sweats in the closet over there.”

She tilted her head to the side, studying him. “What will you be doing?”

“Checking in with Cory,” he said. “Someone on your team is broadcasting a signal, and Cory wasn’t sure which one of you it was. The signal disappeared at the apartment, but then started back up when we got on the plane.”

“Oh, so is that why you brought me in here? You thought it was me?” she asked.

He wasn’t going to apologize for doing his job, or being who he was. “Everyone had to be eliminated as a possibility.”

“God, I’d hate to be you,” she said.

“Don’t do that,” he said. “You think I wanted to believe you could betray me? Of course I didn’t. There are five people in the world that I trust, and I want to add you to the list, but my instincts make that difficult.”

She shook her head. “Yeah, it is hard to trust someone.”

“And do you trust me?” he asked.

“I do.”

“Really? Then why haven’t you mentioned that patch under your breast?” he asked. “I’ve felt it twice. I’m pretty sure it’s where you’re carrying the intel for the director.”

She wrapped her arms across her chest. “It’s not relevant.”

“It is. We’re both used to doing things on our own, watching our own backs and suspecting everyone else.”

She gave him one of those wry half-smiles of hers. “Fair enough. This world we live in is making me crazy.”

“Me too,” he said. “I’m going to sit in the bedroom and watch your back while you have a shower, Kaylee. You can do whatever you have to with the intel. No one will come in here.”

He turned on his heel and walked out before he made any promises that he couldn’t keep.
