Chapter Eight

Mo filed his reports and was on his way out of the office to stop by the jail again, this time to talk to the driver they’d caught by the border, when Ryder came in.

“Can I see you for a sec?” Mo gestured with his head toward the interrogation room, the only room in the office that had a door. The rest was open space with enough desks for the six-man team.

“Sure.” Ryder followed him.

He was looking at Mo with expectation. “Everything okay?”

Mo scratched the back of his neck, not entirely comfortable. “So, about Molly Rogers.”

“You got something on her?”

“She has nothing to do with anything. Thing is...” He paused, then bit the bullet. “I moved her and her son to my place at the hotel.”

Ryder’s eyebrows slid up his forehead.

Mo thought how to best word his explanation. “She keeps getting night visitors. She has an eight-year-old son. They’re out there alone.”

“She could have gotten her own room at the hotel.”

Mo cleared his throat. “She’s not that well-off financially.”

“She has to have some friends.”

She probably did. Although some of the people in town looked down on her, there were plenty of nice folks in Hullett. “If whoever keeps searching her place decides that whatever he’s looking for is not there, they could come after her. She’s safest at my place.”

Ryder raised an eyebrow. “With you?”

Right. Slippery ground. “I’m never at the apartment. I’m either here or looking for crossing points on the border. For the next few days, I’m going to spend as many nights as I can at the Rogers ranch, see if I can catch whoever keeps going back there.”

Ryder rubbed the bridge of his nose. “I know there’s a certain irony here, considering Grace and me, but I have to ask...do you have an interest in Molly Rogers beyond the professional?”

Mo shoved his hands into his pockets. He wasn’t used to talking about stuff like this. But Ryder was team leader and he had a right to know where this was going, if it would distract from the mission. Oh, hell. He filled his lungs.

“I don’t really know. I want her and her son to be safe. And then—” He shook his head. “I have no idea what she wants.”

Maybe Ryder could give him some tips. Ryder had managed to win Grace over, and Grace Cordero was one tough cookie.

But all he gave Mo was a sympathetic look. “Rather go into armed combat myself than try to figure out a woman.”

Mo nodded. At least Grace was a soldier. She and Ryder had that in common.

Molly Rogers seemed like a whole different world to Mo. He was pretty much a killing machine, usually surrounded by violence on a daily basis. She was a mother, surrounded by chickens.

What did he know about women anyway? His birth mother had tried to drown him. His foster mother had died when he’d been a kid. He never had sisters.

But he knew enough to know that Molly was special. She would be worth any effort to win.
