Chapter 7

Noah pulled Mateo toward the door. They only had a few hours before everything would go down. As it stood, being a member light on their team wasn’t a good way to breach a house or worse, a compound. But they'd do what needed to be done. Noah couldn't or wouldn't worry about Jake. The asshole deserved everything he had coming to him and then some.

He gazed down at his husband and ran his thumb across Mateo's cheek. “Mattie...” Fuck, this had been why Noah hated bringing Mateo into his life. Shit like this could go sideways. If anything happened to him, the idea of leaving his husband alone, sucked. “There's a—”

Mateo pressed his finger to Noah’s lip. “No. We won’t talk about this now. Not when everything is tenuous.”

He snorted. “I’m trying to protect you—make sure you’re taken care of.”

“I don’t want to know about it. Not right now. Not while we’re in the thick of it.” Mateo went to his tiptoes and pressed his lips to Noah’s.

He groaned. “You’re too good for me.”

“You’re right. I am.” Mateo smirked. “Good thing you caught me, huh?”

Noah chuckled. “Guess so.” He glanced back at the screen as different buildings popped up then went dark. “Look, whatever happens, I love you more than life itself. I fucked all this up.”

“Stop. I won’t hear your goodbye speech.” Mateo kissed him again. “You’re going to do this mission then you’re going to come home to me. There is no in-between.”

“You’re so fucking stubborn.”

His husband shrugged. “Takes one to know one.”

Asher’s voice filled his comm. “Meeting in five, get your asses to the C&C conference.”

He glanced at Mateo. “Come on.”

Mateo blinked. “O-okay.”

Noah led him back to C&C while Asher gathered up AJ, Scotty, Callahan, Schoell, and Franks. When the group joined them, Asher brought up the video conference screen. A few seconds later Tex appeared on the screen. Beside him sat a hound, content to have its head scratched as Tex lounged in his chair.

“Long time no see,” Tex drawled. “Already tired of the kids and you want to send them home?”

Asher snorted. “Thought about keeping them.”

“I suppose you’ll want child support, too, then?”

AJ laughed.

I’m not calling either of you ‘Daddy.’ Not my style. Not my kink, Scotty signed.

“Kid, there are things in this world I don’t need to hear, either,” Tex grumbled then cleared his throat.

“Did you find something for me?” Asher asked, taking control of the conversation.

“I did.” Tex’s fingers flew over his keyboard. “I know a couple of people. They’re good agents and can probably lead you straight to Dario’s hidey hole. Their names are Duncan Frazier and Thomas Kaine. They’ve been with the FBI for fifteen years and both of them have worked on the Aquila Cartel case for a number of those fifteen years.”

“How quick can they be here?” Asher pressed.

“We already found where Dario is,” Noah interjected. “Hills of West Virginia. Looks like your boy Scotty, is just that good.”

Tex laughed. “That’s my boy.”

Asher cleared his throat. “You were saying?”

“An hour? They’re not far from you.
