Chapter Thirteen

Logan parked Zaid’s truck in a visitor spot out front of Jamie and Charlie’s building and jumped out just as his teammate called Logan’s cell phone.

“You there yet?” Zaid asked.

“Yeah, just pulled up. Thanks for lending me your truck.”

“No problem. Holler if you need anything. I’m gonna go by the bar in case any of the guys need a ride home after.”

That was why Zaid was so well-liked by everyone on the team. He looked after them all like they were family. “Sounds good. See ya.”

Without pause he jumped out and rushed for the condo complex’s front door. Charlie buzzed him in. Urgency beat at him as he took the elevator to their floor. Normally the stairs would be faster but there was no way his knee was up to it, and getting to Taylor as fast as possible was all that mattered.

God, Taylor had to be scared out of her mind, special agent or not. Another agent shot through the head just in front of her house. Why hadn’t she called him instead of Charlie?

When he finally made it down the hallway, Jamie was waiting at the door for him. “She okay?” Logan demanded.

“Yeah, she’s in the living room.” Jamie stepped back to let him in.

Logan limped through the kitchen, and his heart did a painful little squeeze when he caught sight of Taylor. She was on the couch next to Charlie, wearing a T-shirt and lounge pants. He’d never seen her in anything but work attire before, and with her glasses on and her hair up in a ponytail she looked impossibly young and vulnerable.

She smiled when she saw him, but it was sad. “You didn’t have to come. I’m okay.”

Not come? There was no way he wouldn’t have come. He needed to make it clear that he cared about her. “You should have called me.”

Charlie got up and muttered something about getting drinks for them as she strode for the kitchen, giving them some privacy.

“I didn’t want to drag you farther into this mess,” Taylor said.

With a frustrated sigh, he closed the distance between them, sank down beside her and immediately pulled her into a hug. “Are you okay?” he murmured against her hair. It smelled faintly of smoke.

She wound her arms around his neck and rested her cheek on the top of his shoulder, making his heart squeeze. “Yes.”

“What happened?”

She ran through the night’s sequence of events, and at the mention of the disabled smoke/carbon monoxide detector, something hard settled in the pit of his stomach.

“The agent watching my house wasn’t answering his phone, so I went out to tell him in person and that’s when I found him.”

The idea that the killer might have had his sights on Taylor while she’d stood there in the rain made his blood run cold. He ran a hand up and down her back, relieved that she was okay. “Did the cops find anything wrong with a fireplace or the furnace?” Those were the first two places he’d check.
