Chapter 14

Minutes turned into half an hour while Alexis waited for Bradley to return. She sipped the tea he had brought her, and tried to reason with herself. She’d kept the secret for months now, a decision she and Rachel had made together. If she was going to break that confidence, even if it was only with Bradley and no one else, then she probably needed to talk to Rachel first.

And that meant Rachel had to be here, safe and sound.

Before that happened, she needed to focus and not get distracted by all that was Bradley. It was so tempting to just…fall into him. In love with him. Not that she’d ever not been in love with him, really. None of that had changed. Maybe it had actually grown.

But what did that mean for them? Life had thrown them back together, whether they wanted it or not. Did God plan for them to finally have a relationship?

For so long, she’d figured their night together nothing but sin. Something to be washed away. But even despite the truth of what God had done in her life, maybe He still had a plan for the two of them. Would God do that? She couldn’t deny that Bradley had been everything she ever wanted, and still was. But everyone at church that she’d talked to had told her to let that be the past. To move on, because God wanted to do a “new” thing.

Then the video had come out, and they’d told her not to come back.

She was staring at the FBI cubicles when everything suddenly went wired. Four agents stood up from their desks simultaneously. One snapped up a phone, and another started yelling orders to the others. Alexis lifted out of the chair and wandered to the door. Had they found Rachel?

“Off the reservation…”

“Thinks he can do this.”

The snippets of conversation didn’t make any sense, until she realized Bradley was nowhere that she could see.

An agent stopped right in front of her. The frown on his face was accusatory.

She shook her head. “What?”

“You’re telling me you had no idea he was going to do this?”

“Bradley?” When the agent told her what he had done, she realized it made perfect sense. “Of course he did. He wants to save his sister.”

“At the expense of his own life?”

“If you’re worried about that, go help him.”

She wanted to do that very thing, but reality stalled her. She had no training except as an assistant. She would only get in the way of all these “professionals” running around with their guns and their operational plans. The best she could do was pray, the way she had been praying all the way through all of this. Maybe to some people that was redundant, but she figured it had saved her life many times. The only idea she’d had — that of going to the motel — had resulted in their nearly being kidnapped. And in Bradley being beaten up.
