Chapter Eleven

Rhonda hated waiting, for anything. All she could do in that moment was twiddle her thumbs, metaphorically speaking of course. Damn cast didn’t exactly give her a lot of options. It made a great paperweight, but not much else. Sighing, she stared down at the hunk of plaster and tried to remember how much longer she’d have it on for. Another week? Two at the most unless she was off on her calculations. She could hear the low rumble of Vincent’s voice. She even knew why he’d decided to make the call to Shawn in the kitchen.

Not that she’d let him get away without telling her every, last, single detail. He might think she didn’t know his reasoning behind keeping the call private. Poor man, so deluded in thinking she didn’t know what he was up to. Always trying to protect her, like she was some sort of shrinking violet that would crumple at a bit of pressure or stress. Didn’t really matter, she’d get everything Vincent, and his buddy, Shawn, talked about, out of him in time. Even their plans to keep her cosseted away, and off of Moreau’s radar.

Shaking her head, she sipped her sweet tea. Men.

He was gone for maybe ten minutes. She couldn’t read his expression when he returned, which usually meant something wasn’t right in his world.

“Shawn’s got three safe houses lined up for us.”

The relief was instantaneous. “When are we going back?”

“We’ll leave tonight,” he said.

He was leaving something out. She could feel it. She didn’t press though, for the moment. “We’d better get some sleep then, or you should at least. I need to call my captain and have him pull the files. Will Shawn be going to get them?”

“No, he’s going to send Trent to pick everything up. Your boss will need to call Shawn when everything is ready.”

Taking his cell from him, Rhonda dialed her captain’s number. Resting her forehead against Vincent’s jaw, she listened to the phone ring. When her captain picked up, she identified herself and explained what she needed, gave him Shawn’s information and got off the line as quick as she could manage after getting his word he’d see to it.

“He’ll gather them once everyone’s out on the streets for the night. He thinks he should have it all together by the morning,” she told Vincent as she handed his phone back over.

“Good.” He slipped an arm around her shoulders, hugging her closer. “Let’s go and have a nap. I need some sleep, and you definitely do.”

She couldn’t argue that. Nodding, she moved off the sofa and to the bedroom. She let him help her into the bed before shucking her sweats. Rhonda had one of his shirts on, had been using only his shirts to sleep in since she’d gotten mobile, so it was more than long enough to act as a sleeping garment.

Settling onto her side, her casted hand resting on a spare pillow, she smiled as he eased in behind her. When his arms slid around her, cradling her close, Rhonda let out a small, happy sigh.
