I wanted to sigh dreamily, but didn’t. I wasn’t ready to announce my wakefulness. Yet. What if Rome decided I couldn’t handle the situation and needed more rest? My hands curled into fists as anger sparked through me. Uh, can you handle the situation? Continue down this anger-path and you’ll set the room on fire.

True. I forced my thoughts away from Rome and his actions. My crack team had already erected a tripod and had several computer monitors set up at the desk. How could I have missed all of that, drugged or not? How embarrassing, that I was such a liability. Worse—depending on how you looked at it—pretty Lexis was an asset.

Jealousy summoned the earth, and I didn’t want to find myself buried in a mound of dirt, so I forced my thoughts away from Lexis, too. Had there been any sign of Desert Gal? Cody?

“When are we going to see some action?” Sherridan grumbled, reminding me of Tanner.

Tanner. My heart lurched in my chest. How was he? Hopefully awake and raising hell. Had his doctor called me? Maybe there was a voice mail waiting for me.

“Soon,” Lexis said. “I feel it. There’s something…menacing in the air.”

Rome stopped and eyed her. “You don’t know what?”

She shook her head, dark hair swinging over her lovely face. Her emerald eyes were slightly dulled.

“Means it’s going to happen to you,” Rome said. He pinched the bridge of his nose, a sure sign of his exasperation. Good. I wasn’t the only one who antagonized him. “Fucking great. One more worry is just fucking great.”

Yep, was he in a mood.

“Maybe not.” Lexis brushed a piece of lint from her shoulder. “The fact that I know something bad is going to happen suggests that it can’t be me who’s the target.”

More danger. Wonderful. I wanted to curse as Rome had done.

“Belle, do you think?” Sherridan’s hand fluttered over her heart.

“Belle will be fine. I’ll make sure of it.” Rome straightened, features blank. “I’m going to check the perimeter, place some cameras in the hall, lobby. That way, if we’re found out, we’ll know someone’s coming for us before they reach us. I want you to stay here, keep an eye on things.”

“I will,” both women said in unison.

Rome rolled his eyes. “You, too, Belle.”

So much for my career as a spy. Gingerly I sat up and frowned over at him. My hair fell around my shoulders in complete disarray. “You take the fun out of everything.”

“Not everything.” He crossed his arms over his chest and stared down at me. “You gonna stay here and be a good girl like the others, Wrinkles?”

Wrinkles? I gave myself another inspection. Sure enough, my clothing was a mass of creases, and still stained from the car chase. No telling what kind of grass and dirt smudges I had on my face.
