“That’s good, right?” Audrey gripped his hands.

A rush of warmth traveled up Nathanial’s arms at the contact. He should have told her about the memory back at the IBETs headquarters, but the sudden flood of images and sensations he’d experienced had made him feel too raw, too vulnerable. Still did. But it was a step in the right direction toward regaining his past.

Blake lurched forward. “You remember what happened to you on that rooftop?” Blake’s urgent, hopeful tone twisted bitter regret within Nathanial.

Nathanial flicked a glance at the agent. “No, unfortunately.”

Blake blew out a frustrated breath. Nathanial didn’t blame Blake for his frustration. Men had died, and the key to bringing those men’s killers to justice lay locked within Nathanial’s skull. If only they could hook him up to some sort of machine that could pull out the memories.

Nathanial focused on Audrey. “I remembered something from my childhood. An image of a Christmas tree.”

He didn’t know what had triggered the memory, but Dr. Pembley had been able to draw out more of the details of the tree, with dangling homemade ornaments and the house filled with the scents of wood smoke and gingerbread. They agreed this was probably his childhood home. As for the yelling voices, the doctor speculated it could be from that time or another memory that was trying to come through. Hopefully the memory of what had happened to him on that rooftop. “The doc suggests I travel to my childhood home, since that seems to be where my mind wants to go.”

Audrey tilted her head. “In Saskatchewan?”

He shrugged and turned his attention on Blake. “You said that is where I’m from. Do you have an address for my family?” His heart bumped. Were his parents still alive? Did he have brothers or sisters? A wife? He slipped his hands from Audrey’s and stuffed them into the pockets of his jacket. Why couldn’t he keep a distance from this woman?

“I do. I’ll take you there,” Blake offered.

Anxiety knotted his chest. He didn’t want to go with Blake, even though it would be the wisest decision. A decision he had to make, because he needed to release Audrey. Though from the way her lush lips pressed together, he had a feeling she wouldn’t cooperate. She’d made it clear that she would see this, whatever this was, through to the end.

“I appreciate the offer,” Nathanial finally said. “No offense intended, but Audrey and I can make it there on our own.”

“Not happening.” Blake stepped closer. There was no mistaking the hurt beneath the man’s hard exterior. “If you don’t want me to accompany you, fine. But you need a team with you. I’m sure the Kelleys wouldn’t mind the trip and would provide more protection.”

“The Kelleys?” Nathanial felt as if he should know who they were, but the knowledge was just out of his mind’s reach.

Blake huffed out a breath rife with exasperation. “Drew and his wife, Sami.”

“The Mountie?” Audrey asked.

Barely sparing her a glance, Blake nodded. “Yes.
