On the plane ride home, I called Nick before I thought about it, and was pleased that it went straight to voicemail.

It was very early in the morning when I arrived back in Flagstaff, and even though we were a few minutes early, Croy was already waiting on the tarmac for me when I got off the plane. I had called him when I left Calexico, and he was surprised I was coming back so fast.

“It basically turned into a fugitive pickup,” I told him.

“Good,” he said. “I was worried you all were going to be digging graves in the middle of the desert.”

“Are you listening to yourself, for fuck’s sake?” I snarled at him, because yeah, when Jared went all alpha, I’d had the same thought, but I was exhausted, and he was talking out of his ass. “Your husband is a goddamn Fed. How the hell would you explain us getting rid of dead bodies to him?”

“By explaining to him that you felt they deserved it,” he replied flatly, in his unflappable Croy way. Nothing ruffled his feathers, and everything rolled off his back.

“And you think he wouldn’t just throw my ass in jail?” I growled at him.

“No, Loc, he would not,” he assured me. “He knows the kind of man you are.”

The way he was looking at me, calm, steady, like everything he said was making perfect sense…was humbling.

Him, Jared, Ella, Cooper, and Rais—all these people believing in me was a lot of positivity coming my way at once. I was definitely overdue to piss someone off.

I scowled at him, and he laughed and stepped into me like that was totally normal, and hugged me. Tight.

It was a mindfuck. Worse was when I somehow felt compelled to tell him that Ella and I missed him—Jesus—and that I was planning to visit when the job was over, and she was going to come with me.

“I’ll be looking forward to that,” he assured me with a sigh, seeming very pleased.

I shoved him off me, and he was chuckling as he left me, which didn’t help my mood one bit. I was going soft, and that was not helpful in my line of work. I really needed to go to some horrible dive bar and get in a fight. That would take the happy edge off.

Once I was in the SUV driving back, my phone rang, and I saw it was Nick.

“Shit,” I grumbled when I answered.

“Nice,” he muttered on his end.

“No, I mean—shit. Listen, I’m sorry I woke you, just go back to sleep. I hafta talk to you about a lotta things, but it’ll hold until whenever you get up.”

“No, I want to know what you’re doing at…what…five thirty in the morning?” he asked, sounding lazy, languorous, like he’d been up fucking, not like I’d woken him from a sound sleep.

“Had things to do,” I replied, clipping my words. “Go back to bed.” I finished with the order and hung up on him.

He called me right back.

“Seriously, go to sleep,” I grumbled.
