Heading back to the beach house where SEAL reserve team 11 – now mostly civilian SEArch & Rescue – kept its office, Knox rode with Tanner in one of the Humvees while Angel and Jake followed in a Toyota 4-wheel drive pickup.

"Good job out there," Tanner said. The road they were following was pockmarked and dusty but didn't take special attention to navigate. He steered with one hand, his other hand out the window.

Knox leaned back in the seat, feeling a couple sore spots where he'd gotten too close to his charge. "Not really anything out of the ordinary. Other than the special brand of stupid. Who goes back over the cliff they've already slid over once?"

Tanner grinned, wolfish. "You really want me to answer that?"

"Not so much. Nice day for falling off cliffs."

That made Tanner laugh. "Taylor's making pizza tonight. Want to come over? I'll have beer."

Knox rolled his head across the back of the seat and stared at his partner. "I offer to take on the dangerous client, the going-to-thrash-in-the-harness-and-kick client and what thanks do I get? You want me to eat Taylor's cooking?"

"She's improved?" Tanner hazarded. Tanner and Taylor had been together several months, having met when Tanner pulled her out of a wildfire in a wilderness area using the team's Chinook chopper. She was cute, bubbly, blond and a threat to life in the kitchen.

"Yeah, even you can't say that with a straight face." Knox turned back to staring out the passenger window, watching as the canyon dwindled to low hills and the city became apparent through gaps. "I've got something else in mind for tonight." Feeling Tanner's eyes on him, he added, "Running. I've been doing a lot of running."

Tanner nodded, pursing his lips as he pretended to consider that. "Right. Because running always gives a man that just fu—"

"Do not go there."

Tanner sobered instantly. "Sorry, man. This is serious?"

Fucked if I know, Knox thought. We might really be friends who just accidentally slipped and fell into each other once.

He hoped not.

"How do you even know it's a – "

"Oh, blow me. It's a girl. Are you serious? I've known you how long?"

Knox shrugged. "We're going running." At least they'd been meant to go running. Maybe she'd have taken to the beach. It made him nervous to think she might be out in the hills alone – the same way she had been doing for years before he'd met her. Damn, he needed to chill about this.

"Is that what the kids are calling it these days?" Tanner quipped.

"Skunk ahead," Knox said and Tanner slowed the big vehicle, doing some pretty fancy driving to avoid a huge, lazy skunk. It looked less than worried about them. Neither of them let out their breath until they were well past the animal, then Knox said, "What's up with Mike? Haven't seen much of him lately," and the conversation switched, to work and the business, and his mind almost left off thinking about Hannah.

Almost.
