Chapter 16

The moment Trent shut his door, he texted Merlin.

She just left.

I’m on it.

Can’t thank you enough.

No thanks needed, Zip. You know that. We’re a team.

Trent knew that well. He would do anything for his teammates, and they would likewise do anything for him, even if this time it meant following his woman back to her grandmother’s house to keep her safe.

Trent busied himself cleaning his kitchen and then sat at the kitchen table with his laptop. This entire situation was a fucking mess. He’d just lied to Destiny, and she knew it. His omissions were obvious to her. Her mistrust was in her eyes even though she hadn’t said a word.

When he thought back on everything he’d said, he groaned. He wouldn’t go out with himself again after hearing that ridiculous speech.

“Don’t call me.”

“Don’t come to my apartment.”

“I’ll let you know when I can see you.”

“We’ll meet in secret locations so no one finds out about us.”

Jesus. If Destiny didn’t know him better or wasn’t committed to making this work, she’d have to assume he was either embarrassed to be seen with her, married, or a serial killer.

He ran a hand through his hair, set his elbows on the table, and closed his eyes. He was a selfish prick for dragging her down this path with him. Why he’d ever thought it would be a good idea to bring a woman into his life was beyond him. He’d never even considered entering into a serious relationship. His job meant he would disappear on a moment’s notice and be gone for long periods of time with no contact.

And all that was before he’d added the unforeseen aspect of someone hunting him down on U.S. soil with the intent to kill him. At least until this mission, Trent had always lived in the relative comfort of believing when he was home, he was free. Now, that notion had exploded.

Even if he somehow managed to locate and eliminate this threat, there would simply be another right behind it. Best case scenario at the moment was for Trent’s team to locate Farid Demir and take him into custody or end his life. Then what? That would never be the end. Onur would lose his shit if his brother didn’t return home having accomplished his mission. Onur would send someone else.

Trent’s entire team as well as Commander Turano were well aware of this problem. It was unspoken but filled every meeting room with its ominousness. Roe’s furrowed brow when they met spoke volumes. Trent was fucked, and no one had thought of a way out of this mess.

He had no business dragging a civilian into his problems. Not his mom, his dad, or Destiny. Every time he saw her, he would be putting her at risk. Was it worth it? After all, Trent was a ticking time bomb. His days seemed to be numbered. Maybe he could evade Farid for a few more weeks. Maybe his team would find the fucker and take him out.
