CHAPTER TWELVE

Gina’s feet felt rooted in the sand, and her jaw dropped open. The handsy newlywed couple, the enemy?

“What did you do to them?”

“Slipped a little something in their margaritas.”

“You’re a regular walking pharmaceutical repository. People are just dropping in your wake.”

Completely sober, he took her arm. “I’ll explain on the way to their room. Tara conveniently left her key card in the little envelope with their room number. She’s no pro.”

When they reached the hotel, Josh took her hand and they skirted the restaurant. No sense in having anyone wonder where the other drunken couple went.

As they raced through the lobby and into the elevator, Gina asked, “How did you know?”

“Tara let it slip that they were from New York. When she did, Roger shot her a look that could kill. Seemed odd, so I brought up something about New York later and it was clear they’d never lived there. Something you said earlier struck me as odd, too. A honeymooning couple that stays at the pool all day, and then the beach and then back at the pool where you said they hardly spoke to each other, let alone kissed?

“Wouldn’t a honeymoon couple who were all over each other like these two were want to spend more time in their hotel room than at the pool? And why were they going down to the water just after we’d been ambushed? To see that the job had been done on me and to help out with you?”

Gina shivered and hunched her shoulders. “But they seemed so…normal.”

“And did you catch the mate business from Roger when the drug started taking effect on him? No New Yorker I know uses mate.”

“Do you think they were working with the red tie man on our flight?”

“I don’t know, Gina.” He squeezed her waist.

Her blood ran cold, and she tripped to a stop as they exited the elevator. “You think both groups are here, don’t you? Los Santos and the terrorist organization. They’re both after us at the same time.”

“Could be.” He rubbed a circle on her back. “C’mon, we’re almost there.”

She scooped in a deep breath and hooked two fingers in the belt loop of Josh’s shorts. They didn’t see anyone else in the hallway.

When they reached the room, Josh slid the key home and held out a hand to keep her back. “Hang on. We don’t know what we’re going to find in here.”

She hung back in the hallway until he waved her inside. The faux newlyweds’ room was much like their own with one interesting detail—two beds.

Josh pointed at the beds. “An odd sleeping arrangement for a couple of honeymooners, wouldn’t you say?”

Gina nodded. Either Tara and Roger weren’t as committed to their deception as she and Josh were…or they weren’t as attracted to each other.

“I’m going to search their suitcases. You look through the closets, drawers and bathroom.”

Gina tiptoed to the closet even though she knew Tara and Roger were out cold on the beach with little chance
