PULLING ONE OVER on Theo was going to take all of Shelby’s Miss Oklahoma charm.

“They’ll never let me inside,” Colton murmured as he pushed the wheelchair up the handicap ramp to the front door.

He and Connor had her bathroom drain flowing again, they’d mowed the lawn, and fixed her back porch step, which had started leaning sometime in the past three months. Even her sticky bedroom window slid once more with ease.

“Hush.” Shelby was already wearing her best smile. While anxiety hummed under her breastbone, the smile wasn’t entirely an act. It was nice to have a man around again, independent woman or not. She could have fixed the issues in her house, but having Colton around had its advantages.

Because, honestly, there was nothing she hated more than unclogging drains.

The wheelchair was probably unnecessary but it made for a good prop. She hated looking incapable in front of her peers, but the more helpless she appeared, the less likely anyone would be suspicious about this visit. “We already made it this far. Positive attitude, Bells.”

He snickered. “As long as I don’t end up behind bars for the next thirty years.”

This small FBI office wasn’t listed in the phone book, nor did it show up on search engines. Most people in the area believed it was a tech company that specialized in government contracts.

Which wasn’t far from the truth.

The “contracts” Shelby and her handpicked group of teammates specialized in involved investigations into the armed forces and its veterans. From the DoD on down to the VA hospital, sensitive cases came across their desks. The murder of veterans, especially those who’d served on Special Operations teams, were Shelby’s specialty.

She’d had a bright future with the Bureau and still did. She just needed to solve the serial murder case and prove to her superiors once more that she could be a shining star in their ranks.

Stealing case files from the office probably wasn’t the best idea, but she couldn’t sit on her backside and twiddle her thumbs. Not when she knew she’d uncovered something that day and the killer had come after her. Not with Connor and Colton here playing bodyguard when their boss needed them back in DC.

And not when Shelby herself had too many nagging questions floating around her brain.

She’d gotten herself and Colton through the gates with a call to the front desk. Her buddy, Mindy Hampton, was manning the phones and had been thrilled to hear Shelby was paying a visit.

Connor sat outside in his truck. He needed to go pick up his girlfriend soon, so Shelby needed to make this quick.

She had the feeling by Mindy’s reaction though, that this would not be a quick visit. The group was small and they’d shared a lot. Several of them were followers of her dad’s ministry. They thought of Reverend Jack Claiborne as their spiritual leader and his daughter was family.

That’s where Shelby hoped the wheelchair would come in handy. If she looked and acted the part of an easily exhausted, disabled agent, she could use that to beg off when it was time to skedaddle.
