Three hours later, Elizabeth closed the communicator and barely resisted the urge to hurl it across the room. She straightened and clenched her fist around it. “That asshole. I can’t believe he’d even think to do this to me.”

She stood and returned the offending device to its drawer.

“Not to mention get away with it. Respect, my ass.”

Her expression cold, she stalked out of the office and ignored Amy and Elle who immediately attached themselves to her trail like two shadows. She was still furious when she arrived at the team’s training room.

Most of them were out on the mats. Lars was taking Frog and Marcus through a serious of complex maneuvers, and Vishlog was sparring with Avery and Brenden. Johnny was working through kata designed to strengthen his damaged leg.

As she came through the door, Lars’s lesson with Frog and Marcus turned into a sparring match. Marcus swept the team leader’s legs out from under him and Frog tried to pounce. He missed and their intended victim rolled clear of the attack and pushed to his feet to face them.

They fought hard and fast and Elizabeth stopped to admire the sheer fluidity of it. In the end, Marcus fell when Lars’s fist caught him on the side of the head, and Frog ended up in an elbow lock that made her wince.

The smaller man slapped the mat in defeat and they ended the match. Lars caught sight of her as he helped Marcus off the mats and settled him on the bench. “Frog—”

“Yeah, yeah. Take him to medical and see how badly you broke him?”

He managed a sheepish grin. “Yeah, and—”

“And don’t tell Steph,” the man finished for him before he inclined his head and regarded his boss with a sly grin. “How much is it worth to you?”

Elizabeth cleared her throat and the grin faded.

“Don’t go anywhere for a minute,” she told him and ignored the faint look of alarm that crossed his face. She turned to Lars. “Have you decided to go out this Saturday?” she asked and he blushed a faint shade of pink.

“Yeah,” he admitted sheepishly. “Steph reminded me that we all kinda need some downtime.”

She gave him a sunny smile. “Sure,” she agreed. “By ‘downtime,’ I hope you mean an opportunity to destroy your enemies and eat their hearts, right?”

He stared at her in bewilderment. “Uh—”

Ms E didn’t let him finish. She turned, clapped sharply, and drew everyone’s attention but continued to smile as they walked toward her. “I have some news.”
