Rhy drafted Tim once again the next morning to distract Alex when Nicky balked at the plans he laid out for the trip to Prescott. She’d reluctantly accepted his presence, but insisted having a team from Global Shield accompany them all the way to Arizona was sure to draw unwanted attention.

“One man doesn’t make a team,” Rhy argued when the door closed behind Tim and Alex. “But I’m sure Lyndsay will appreciate the compliment.”

“You’re purposefully missing my point!”

“No, I get your point. In fact, I happen to agree with you, but there’s no way in hell I’m heading cross-country with the two of you without some kind of backup. Whether you like it or not, we’re going to need the intelligence Global Shield can provide. We’ll be hitting a line of winter storms over the next forty-eight hours, which will slow us down. If we’re lucky, we’ll reach the ranch in three days. Add another half day if I don’t like what I see when we get there, and I have to stash Alex in an alternate location before we head to Flagstaff.”

Rhy raised a brow, daring her to comment. Her mouth twisted in mulish disagreement, and his frustrated sigh was more like a grunt. “A trail can turn mighty cold in that amount of time. If Everson doesn’t take the bait at your cabin, do you really want to give him such a big head start?”

Nicky remained stubbornly mute.

Rhy fisted his hands on his hips. “My brother is already dead. For me there are no time constraints on finding Everson. He’ll surface eventually, and maybe you can take care of yourself when he does. But what about that little boy? Don’t kid yourself.” Exasperation collided with the guilt knotting his gut and made his voice sharp as he pointed toward the closed door. “That ring was a promise. Everson will find you sooner or later. Are you willing to condemn your son to a life on the run?”

Pink flags of anger flared on Nicky’s cheeks. “I’ve agreed to help you trap Jonathan, haven’t I? I don’t like it, but I’ve agreed.” Her fingers curled into fists at her sides. “As soon as Alex is safe, I won’t rest until Jonathan is either captured or in the ground, but I know him. If there is the slightest leak at Global Shield, he’ll find it.”

Whether intentional or not, Rhy took the insult to him and his team personally. Yeah, he’d fucked up, but his complete faith in the employees of Global Shield was rock solid. He’d put his life on the line with every one of them over the years and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again. They were pros. The best. Her disdain for their abilities slashed at more than his pride. Her comment suggested they couldn’t be trusted. Rhy had acted on his own going to her cabin, so while he deserved her instinctive distrust, his team didn’t.

He shoved aside his guilt and narrowed his eyes. “I trust these men with my life.
