CHAPTER 18

“I’M in position,” P.J. said into her receiver.

Out of habit, she took a wide, slow sweep from left to right with her scope and took in any

potential problem areas.

“There‟s a weak area to the west of the house. Three large trees connected by a mass of

honeysuckle so thick you can‟t see through it. Someone could hide in there and never be seen.”

“Should I break out the chain saw?” Cole drawled.

P.J. rolled her eyes. “You probably couldn‟t handle that much power.”

“I‟ll show you power,” he muttered.

“Children,” Dolphin reprimanded.

P.J. grinned and mentally counted to three. Yep, Steele broke in with his dry, no-sense-of-

humor voice.

“Cut it, you two. We have a job to do here. I‟ll take a look at your problem spot, P.J.,” Steele

said. “You and Cole stay in position. Sam will be rolling in soon.”

P.J. pulled her field glasses up and watched, curious as to whether she‟d actually be able to

see Steele in the area. She knew she wouldn‟t, but it was a game she never tired of. The man

couldn‟t always be that good, could he?

After several long minutes, Cole chuckled in her ear. “You won‟t find him, P.J.”

She frowned. “How the hell do you know what I‟m doing? I know damn well you can‟t see

me.”

“I could mess with you and say I can, but you‟re predictable. I knew you‟d be looking.”

Prompted by his needling to take him down a peg or two, she raised her rifle and did a

meticulous sweep of the area where he‟d taken position. She‟d find his ass and nail it to the wall.

Then he wouldn‟t be so smug.

It took several sweeps and intense concentration, her eyes nearly crossing as she looked for

any pattern that didn‟t fit. She would have missed it if she‟d so much as blinked, but there it was.

A shoelace. Just the end between two leaves.

“Gotcha,” she whispered.

“Who you shooting now?” Cole asked in amusement.

“You. Just found you.”

Dolphin‟s laughter broke in.

“Bullshit,” Cole said in a terse voice.

No Place to Run

But there was a pause, and then the shoelace disappeared, and the foliage surrounding it

shifted slightly as if blown by a breeze.

She laughed. “Nice move, but I‟d have already nailed you. You gotta watch those huge feet

of yours, Cole.”

“Son of a bitch,” Cole muttered.

“Is it true what they say about men with big feet?”

“Come down here and I‟ll let you find out.”

She snorted. “You dream big.”

“As amusing as I find you two, I want radio silence and I want it now,” Steele ordered.

P.J. complied with the order and went silent. But she was still smiling as she went about her

surveillance.

THE safe house was a large cabin ensconced in a wall of trees and buried in the foothills of

the Appalachians. The area surrounding it was wide open and gently sloping. She could see its

appeal from a protection standpoint. No way anyone could sneak up on you here.

Still, Sophie nervously surveyed the terrain and wondered if it would be safe. If her uncle

would find her here, and if he did, would Sam and his team be enough to protect her?

Sam touched her hand, and she turned to look at him.
