"Let's talk about what needs doing when the shit hits the fan."

"When?"

"Trust me on this, jungle girl. There's no if about it. We need contingency plans," he said dryly. "Okay, here's what we have to do…"

He didn't like being cornered, didn't like being hemmed in with zero options. He was not a happy man.

Soon after liftoff, Delanie had taken a wide roll of electrical tape out of her bottomless purse and taped up the window beside her. Her head rested against the silver X, and she'd fallen asleep, having fought off exhaustion for hours. She rested in a sort of alert doze. A technique he'd often used when there was danger about. As a civilian Delanie shouldn't have acquired that knack. Nor should she ever have had the need for it.

He glanced over at her pale face in the gathering dusk and the muted lights of the instrument panel. Her eyelids were slightly swollen. It was as though she allowed herself only so much emotion before burying it.

He might have known, despite their wild lovemaking, her defenses would be firmly back in place the moment it was over. As for her telling him she trusted him, hell, he'd never heard a lie emphasized with such veracity.

He wanted to tell her what a fool's mission she was on. If Montero did indeed hold her sister, there wasn't a snowball's hope in hell the girl would be salvageable. That was providing she was alive. The odds were stacked against Lauren. And if Delanie allowed herself to acknowledge what she already knew about Montero, she'd pray her sister had died quickly. Damn quickly.

Something about Delanie reminded Kyle of his grandmother. Not in looks, but in temperament. Grammy had had the same stick-to-it-ness as Delanie did. Martha Washburn had also been stubborn, opinionated, and pigheaded. She'd also loved her family above all else. Hell, Kyle bet Grammy would have killed to keep her loved ones safe. And if anyone had dared to kidnap a member of her family, his grandmother would've been here on Izquierdo just as Delanie was now. Without question.

Kyle rubbed his jaw, and heaved a sigh. Yeah, two peas in a pod. God, he missed the old broad.

He took a turn over San Cristobal's two airports in the hope the dogs had been called off. They hadn't. An assassination attempt was grounds for instant death in this neck of the woods. No questions asked. Both small airports were crawling with soldiers and police, spotlights and dogs.

Out of options and out of time, with just enough fuel left, he woke Delanie, and reluctantly headed back toward Izquierdo.

He had a bad feeling. A very bad feeling.
