A SHARP elbow nearly caught Simon in the side of the head. He growled in irritation and shoved the offending limb back onto its own side of the car and got a shirt-muffled apology from Jacob, who was halfway through getting changed into the clothes Simon had brought for him. Glancing sideways he checked out what was really putting his temper on edge—the bare line of Jacob’s arm down to the fuzz-tufted hollow of his armpit, the slice of skin between hip bones and groin, exposed by the unbuttoned fly of his jeans.

He was a liar. He was a criminal. Simon glanced to where Fozzy was lying on the backseat. He was possibly a dognapper. And he was leaving. None of it mattered. Simon still wanted to drag him into his lap and kiss him until he stopped being an idiot. Although that would probably take more time than they had.

“Let me get this straight.” He averted his eyes and scowled out the window at the perfectly manicured gardens and expensively uninteresting houses. Christmas decorations that side of town were apparently minimal—just twinkling lights in the garden and tasteful wreaths on the doors. The gaudiest was a neighborhood anarchist who had a wreath of red, green, and gold baubles on the door. “Your plan is to walk up, try the door, and hope no one stops us?”

Jacob pulled the polo shirt down over his head. He reached around and scratched the back of his neck as though being that close to respectability brought him out in a rash. “I’m not a cat burglar,” he said. “The only house I’ve ever broken into was my family’s when I came home late from curfew, and I’m not going to try climbing up the ivy to crawl in the bathroom window here. So we act like we’re meant to be here, walk up to the door, and try to get in. If we can’t, we think again. But hey, you’re the Marine. If you have a better idea, let’s hear it.”

Cut the power, go in under cover of darkness, do a hard reset on the alarms—after they’d cased the location, either in person or by drone. He’d go in armed—with info as well as artillery. He’d also have the US government backing him, not planning to throw him into jail.

“We’ll try it your way,” he said.

Jacob snorted, hitched his hips up off the seat, and buttoned his fly. “Gee, thanks.” He slid a business card into a lanyard, strung it around his neck, and turned it so the PeaPod logo was visible.

“And what am I supposed to be?” Simon asked.

“Cop.”

Simon gave him a dirty look. “I don’t look like a cop.”

“You look more like a cop than anything they’d expect to see,” Jacob said as he got out of the car. “You look dangerous.”

A chill wriggled through Simon’s chest at the casual statement and made him hesitate on his way out of the car. Most people—his doctor, his bartender, his dad—said dangerous, but they meant broken.
