Chapter Ten

Quinn was out of bed and halfway across the room before he woke up. His five years in counterterrorism meant his phone could ring at any hour and he’d jam the buttons before opening his eyes.

“Langston.” Shit, it was fucking freezing in this room. Even the padded carpet was cold against his feet. The fire in the living room had died in its hold hours ago, and now that he was no longer in Ev’s warm arms, he felt a chill down his whole body.

“Oh good, I caught you.” Lydia Brandenwell made Ev’s ice queen impression look like a Disney movie. His boss was brash, rough and a woman who had been crossed far too many times in her life to let anyone else ever do it again. She was nearly seventy, if Quinn had to guess, and had spent more than half her life in the United States military before retiring to the much more subdued position of director of the FBI’s counterterrorism fly teams.

“What’s going on?” Quinn spied his briefs from under a pile of clothes and shoved the phone under his ear to yank them on. Speaking on the phone with his boss, one of the most powerful women in the country, while buck-ass naked wasn’t a new phenomenon. After all, he’d been called into work from a dead sleep more times than he could count. But doing it while he was buck-ass naked after a raucous erotic night with his two best friends felt like a horse of a very, very different color.

“Cool your jets,” Brandenwell said. “No national emergency to speak of at the moment. I just wanted to be in touch about those Cordell files. I know I gave you until you got back, but I’d like them today, if you could.”

Quinn glanced over at the clock above the bed. It was early. Though it was difficult to gauge the time of morning with all the snow outside, he was still surprised to find it was only just past six. Good, I have the time I need.

“The Internet is a little spotty out here,” he told his boss, yanking on a pair of jeans that might have been Lucas’. It was dark in the room, lit only by the light of new-fallen snow, and he was too tired to give much of a damn. “I’m going to head down to the main house and work on it there. It shouldn’t take more than two hours.”

Curth Cordell had been on their radar for months now, and a small cache of new information had come in that might or might not prove interesting.

“That’s fine,” Brandenwell replied. “I know how much Sam and Aimee mean to you and I don’t want to pull you away from their wedding. But it’s important this gets done today.”

“It will.”

She gave him a curt acknowledgment then they hung up without ceremony, plunging the room back into complete stillness. Quinn interrupted it only long enough to yank a sweater over his head and dig around for the wool socks he was damn happy he’d packed.
