Dylan watched Sarah climb up the stairs from the basement. The boy, Waqar, who slept down there, hadn’t wanted anything to do with Dylan. He hadn’t spoken or even made any type of sound, but he’d made his feelings known when Dylan had tried to carry him out of the house where he’d been held captive. Sarah had been able to calm his frantic rocking enough to explain she was there to help.

She showed a side of herself to the boy that she rarely showed others. The compassionate, nurturing side. It was the part of her that came out in her cooking and baking, and with Jalila. He suspected it was the part fostered by the woman Abuela that she’d mentioned. He wanted to know more about this side of Sarah.

Getting the boy out had been an easy snatch from an empty house in the dead of night. The lover had no security, keeping the boy in a locked room, another captured Yazidi sabaya, though a secret one. Sarah carried him on her back for the journey back to her place.

Seeing Jalila’s smile of welcome in the basement room seemed to ease the boy’s mind. Dylan decided to sleep upstairs. He’d rather the kids be safe and secure downstairs. The boy certainly needed to feel safe. His gut twisted at the thought of what he’d been through. Besides, Dylan wanted to be closer to Sarah if anything went down. He was through with hiding in the basement.

And it was time to have a little chat about teamwork. Sarah wasn’t going to get out of it.

“We need to go over the plan to get them out of here. They both have to leave ASAP,” Dylan said.

Sarah’s lips compressed before she pushed by him. She took the kettle and put some water on to boil. He was not going to let her ignore him. Not tonight.

“You need to start talking to me,” Dylan said. “I’m done with being the lackey you push around. I’m not Rakin. Tell me your plans for that boy.”

She took a cup and slammed it on the counter. “Don’t order me around.”

Dammit, how was she turning this back on him? Anger seeped through him. “You can dish it out, but you can’t take it?”

“What are you talking about?”

He gritted his teeth and tried to keep his voice lowered. He had to think of the kids. “You’re not a team player. I’m here to help and yet you don’t ask for advice or help. Hell, you don’t even tell me what the plan is, or what to fucking expect. Who the fuck trained you and why the hell are you even in E.D.G.E.?”

“Bastard,” she said, her voice low. “I’m in E.D.G.E. because I’m a competent operator, but I work alone. Rakin is here to help with my cover and to pass the intelligence on to his government. But he doesn’t plan the missions; I do. I’m just working like I usually do. I never asked to babysit you. I don’t need your help.
