CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

Two years ago

Eagle regretted it. Even seven years later, the memory of that night wormed its way into his conscience daily. An unbidden, unwelcome reminder of his betrayal every time he looked at his best friend.

Almost as soon as he’d left his old apartment the next morning, he’d wished he could take it all back. Succumbing to his feelings for Hannah while she was overcome with grief was the worst thing he could have done. Besides the fact he potentially ruined his relationship with Hawk, it just confirmed that he and Hannah would never be more than they were. Friends. And after all this time, they might not ever be that again, either.

The entire encounter was awkward. Hannah cried the whole time, and he felt like a prick for stabbing one friend in the back while taking advantage of the other. In the end, he became the coward he’d accused Hawk of being. He’d run away after having his tryst and never looked back. Instead of trying to reach out to Hannah again like he’d promised, he’d assuaged his guilt by holding strong to the pact he’d made with Hawk to leave her alone and keep her safe.

All those thoughts raced through his head as he drove to the General’s office. It was Eagle’s first time back on American soil in he didn’t know how the fuck long, years, at least. His team—including their new recruit Devil—were nomads and underdogs in the fight against human trafficking.

There seemed to be no end in sight, despite the fact they’d been picking off supposed ringleaders left and right. The trade was insidious, like the heads of a hydra. Every time they cut off one organization, two more syndicates would crop up.

And now that General Smithers had asked him for a secret, private meeting, it was time Eagle brought his team home, for good.

His friends didn’t know his plans, yet. He’d been afraid to tell them prematurely, just in case the meeting blew up in his face. But he was hoping the latest bit of intel would put him in a good negotiating position against the General.

“A little blackmail never hurt anybody,” he muttered.

Years ago, pre-MF7 Eagle would’ve been shocked to hear he was going to go toe to toe against his hero. The Eagle today, however, didn’t give two shits about the bastard. Eagle would do whatever he had to in order to get his team home. He hoped to fuck it wouldn’t have to come to that, though.

Their missions had become more and more dangerous, to the point that the team had a recurring joke that the General was trying to get rid of them. After what he’d learned during their last job, Eagle was beginning to suspect they were right.

They’d gone after a low-level pimp, rookie shit after the years of training and missions they’d endured, but one of the girls they’d saved had triggered something in his mind.

She’d looked a hell of a lot like Hannah.

He and Hawk had
