Chapter 10

Deacon had to walk away. To hear Rafe say he had to finish things, to think it was a good idea to go home, where he could be seen and maybe hurt, didn’t sit well with Deacon at all.

For a while he paced the hall at the bottom of the stairs, wishing Mac or Sam were there. But Sam was at work and Mac was off attempting to find Felix. So far, Felix was proving elusive, and Mac hadn’t found hide nor hair of the asshole. Still, at least with Mac out there working that angle, Deacon was here, able to look out for Rafe.

He paced some more. Looking out for Rafe was a fucking joke. The man wouldn’t listen to him, so how was he supposed to keep him safe? Why wouldn’t Rafe simply agree that Deacon was the cop here – ex-cop – and that he knew what he was doing?

And why had Rafe sat in that room and looked so damn guilty, as if he knew something he wasn’t telling?

By the time Rafe came down the stairs, Deacon had worked himself up to a full head of steam, temper sparking inside him.

“What’s the fucking point?” Deacon shouted at a startled Rafe, who stumbled on the last step and had to grip the wall so as not to end up on his ass. Somehow that made everything worse, because, fuck, now Deacon could add even more guilt to the growing pile he carried around with him.

“What?” Rafe asked when he had his balance.

“I should have just let Felix kill you back at the lake, then I wouldn’t be here trying to save your ass all over again. Do you realize how many people could have died if I hadn’t shot you, if for one minute your uncle had thought I was anything else but a gun for hire?”

“Deacon—”

“The next night, my team rescued twenty-three illegals, crammed in a van – women, kids – and it was after I passed on my intel.” He stepped closer to Rafe, and could see that his words were hitting home. “My intel, because I stayed in character. And that wasn’t the last of it. Within a month I had them all arrested, a total of fifty-six souls saved, not to mention cutting the drug supply that your uncle had going to local distributors and then on into fucking schools. Kids. Right? I saved them, but to do that I had to take you out of the picture without breaking character, and I didn’t want to – I wanted to yank you out of there, break my cover, and save you alone. Never mind the others. You made me do that.”

He knew he was being irrational. But hell, irrational felt good right about now.

“I didn’t make you do anything—” Rafe began, but stopped when Deacon stepped right up into his space, hardly any room between them, so close Deacon could smell the shower gel Rafe had used that morning and see the ring of darker color in the green of his eyes.
