CHAPTER SIXTEEN

“Well, you two look…rested.” Jack had his feet propped up on the conference room table and his hands folded over his stomach. He’d been waiting for Gabe to walk through the door ever since he’d gotten the call that their plane had landed at Heathrow.

“I didn’t know you missed me so much,” Gabe said. “Your adoration is making me a little uncomfortable.”

“Up yours. Your ugly face is the last thing I want to see.” He turned to Grace and gave her a wicked smile. “Hello, beautiful. Did you miss me?”

“I could hardly think of anything else. What happened to your arm?”

Jack sighed and let his feet hit the floor. The sore ribs were a nuisance, and he did his best to ignore them. “I ran into a couple of friends while you guys were off globetrotting.”

“Oh, yeah?” Gabe asked. “Anyone we know?”

“Not in the flesh. I was able to get a name out of one of them. I’ve had Ethan doing a little background check for me, and I think you’ll be interested in seeing what we’ve found.”

“Let’s go then. I’ll put my stuff away and meet you at Ethan’s.”

“I’ll take it,” Grace said, grabbing the black bag he carried. “I’ve got to take mine anyway. See you in a few minutes.”

Jack waited until she got on the elevator before he spoke. “Things seem a little easier between the two of you. I’m glad to see you scratched your itch. It’s not so obvious now.”

“I wouldn’t say things are easier between us,” Gabe said. “We’re still feeling our way. There are a lot of things we have to work through.”

They waited for the elevator to come back down and got on, hitting the button for the third floor, where Ethan’s apartment was.

“Just be patient, my friend. At least she still loves you.” Jack knew better than anyone what it felt like to love and have that love thrown back unwanted. If Grace still loved Gabe, then Gabe was sure to come out on top.

“I want you to keep an eye on Grace,” Gabe said. “I’m worried about her. Really worried.”

“What’s going on?”

“I don’t know. But I don’t want to be waist deep in shit while we’re in Iran and have to worry about her too. Just stay close to her if I’m not around. She might need you.”

“Is it her health? Her personality has changed a bit. She’s harder than she was, and not as easy to laugh. She’s not hiding her feelings as well as she once did, either, but I haven’t noticed anything alarming.”

“She’s holding on by a thread. She’s got a lot of guilt inside. And I have a feeling she hasn’t really given herself the chance to grieve.”

“We can’t take her on a mission like that, Gabe. You, of all people, know it as well as I do. She’ll be a liability to all of us.”

“She needs to go, and I need to have her there. All I’m asking is that you keep an eye on her.
