Chapter 18

Cash had no idea what came next in this adventure. He was already so far out of his depth that he couldn’t begin to predict anything. But one thing he knew—he had to protect Ella. She wasn’t precisely fragile, but she was feeling the psychological bruises today. That’s why he called up Hawk and told him they were staying in. Cash didn’t particularly want to spend an entire day cooped up with Ella, but it would be cruel to drag her out to deal with more reporters when she was still absorbing the fact that her relatives had lied to her for so long.

While Ella curled up in a chair by the window with a book she’d found on one of the shelves, he surfed through TV stations, looking for something mind-numbing. He landed on NCIS and kept it there. That show was fun even if it was cheesy as hell and inaccurate about a lot of shit that he and his kind did. Gibbs made him think of Colonel Mendez, except that Gibbs was a bit older. Still a badass though.

He kept the sound low so as not to disturb Ella. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d seen anybody so engrossed in a book. She had no cell phone, so she wasn’t constantly picking it up to check her social media accounts. It was strange and refreshing at the same time. He’d been out with women who were tethered to their devices, who had to glance at it every chance they got. Some even picked it up after sex. One had Instagrammed the rumpled sheets and her bare legs. When she’d tried to snap his abs, he’d taken the phone and tossed it onto the floor before giving her a reason to forget all about Instagram for a while.

A couple of hours into his NCIS marathon, his phone rang. A glance told him it was Camel.

“Hey, dude,” Cash said.

“That was one hell of a fishing trip you went on,” Camel said.

Cash snorted. “Caught something I didn’t expect, that’s for sure. If you’d come with me like I asked, maybe this wouldn’t have happened.”

Though that meant that Ella would currently be in Sheikh Fahd’s harem somewhere in Qu’rim. She wouldn’t be a virgin anymore. And she’d probably be crying.

“I’m allergic to fish.”

“I’ve seen you eat shrimp and striped bass. You are not allergic.”

“Fine, I’m allergic to fishing. Who wants to stand around and throw a line in the water all day? Give me a rifle and let me hunt.”

“Is that really fair to your prey? You’re a fucking military sniper. You don’t miss. Bambi doesn’t stand a chance with you.”

“Hey, when I shoot a deer, I take it to be processed and donate the meat to the homeless shelters in town. It might not be fair to the deer, but it’s good for people who need to eat.”

“Fine, you got me there. So what’s up back at HQ?” he asked, knowing this was more than a simple shoot-the-breeze call.
