Del grabbed her cousin’s hand. “Ivy?”

Alex slung his rifle strap over his head, draped it across his chest. He slid one arm under her knees, the other across her back. With one motion, he lifted Ivy into his arms and stood. “Move.” The sniper hurried across the dirt and rock floor toward the entrance.

Jordan, arms crossed, shifted into Alex’s path.

Del’s stomach knotted. Stupid move.

One quick movement from Josh and the FBI agent’s back was to the wall, arms spread to his sides, leaving the path clear.

In seconds, Alex was outside, Ivy wrapped securely in his arms, her head buried against his neck. Thankful her cousin was out of range of Jordan’s ire, Del eased back against the wall to watch the showdown between Josh and the FBI agent.

“I’ll have your badge for this, Cahill. Even Blackhawk won’t be able to salvage your job by the time I’m finished with you. She’s faking. Ms. Monroe was fine when we arrived and two minutes later she’s not? If you believe her act, I’m amazed you lasted as long as you did in your off-the-books missions.”

In the shadows, his unit, almost as one, straightened away from the cave walls. Waving them off with a hand signal, Josh shifted away from the agent, seeming alert to the possibility of a physical reaction from Jordan or his teammates. She hoped the agents were smart enough not to engage him or his men. The feds would lose.

“Ivy has claustrophobia,” she said.

A sneer crossed his face. “You expect me to believe that, Ms. Peterson? How could she enter this cave at all?”

Del’s cheeks burned. Idiot. “Desperation makes you do anything necessary to survive. Whoever shot the marshal was shooting at us. This was the only shelter available.”

Jordan’s jaw hardened. “Doesn’t explain why the wheezes started when we showed up.”

“Maybe that says something about you, doesn’t it? Can’t say I blame Ivy. You don’t inspire confidence in me, either. The last time we entrusted our lives to you, a killer showed up.”

“Alex has been helping Ivy,” Josh said, voice soft. “That’s the only reason she made it this long in the cave. Look, you can argue about this with your men as long as you want. I’m taking Del and Ivy to the hospital. They’re both injured.”

“Wait a minute. You aren’t in charge of this operation. That’s not your call, Cahill.” His voice rose, echoed in the stone cavern.

“Take it up with Ethan. See you in Otter Creek, Jordan.” Josh signaled his men to vacate the cave and held out a hand to Del.

Her muscles loosened for the first time since their ordeal began two hours before. Fingers threaded through Josh’s, Del passed the three agents and stepped outside. She drew in a deep breath. Amazing. Nothing much had changed since she and Ivy took shelter in the cave, except the hill was alive with people carrying flashlights, searching the area. Seemed like the whole world should have shifted on its axis as a result of their ordeal.
