Chapter 23

That looks like my letter opener.

Josh played Trish’s words over again in his head as he led her through Charlie’s warehouse that had turned into Law Enforcement Central. Granted, she got points for being truthful, but what the hell? If not for Josh having told Vickers that Big Charlie and Trish were part of an ongoing FBI investigation, Trish would be on her way downtown to be held until the fingerprints were run.

Gaining her freedom had involved a second conversation with Vickers, and Josh’s claiming he was taking Trish into his custody.

Now Josh just had to convince Sabrina that Trish was more valuable to them free than locked up. He couldn’t hand her over to anyone, not like this and not now, when his insides were screaming that she was not the enemy.

That she was the one in danger.

When he’d found Trish on the floor, with blood oozing out of a head wound, his first thought had been to get her out of there and to safety. He’d had a moment of total disregard for his mission, something that had never happened before.

If Ty was standing here today he’d tell Josh that the last person to trust was a woman. He’d point out that everything Trish had done to this point was suspect.

He’d also warn Josh against letting his dick make decisions. That had been an ever-present mantra on the long list of Ty’s advice.

Don’t let the small brain convince you to do something stupid.

Like convincing the detective that Trish was part of an investigation when there was no FBI investigation involving her or Big Charlie.

If Vickers discovered that before Josh got a chance to talk with Sabrina, who could hopefully work some kind of magic to fix this, the task force mission would be blown to pieces.

When Josh reached the loading area at the rear of Charlie’s warehouse, hair prickled along his neck. All of his instincts sharpened, on alert. Could the killer still be around?

More law enforcement spilled into the building, moving in the opposite direction that Josh guided Trish. He kept his arm around her body since she shook from shock and injury, but she was determined to leave under her own power.

She wobbled every couple of steps. Face colorless and eyes glistening with unshed tears, she was holding herself together pretty damned well for what she’d been through.

Who had killed Big Charlie and why?

Was there a chance Big Charlie had something to do with the DEA mole?

Or was his death a message to Trish?

Josh’s curse came out half growl.

Trish turned to him, said nothing, and made her way down the steps outside. After all she’d been through in the last hour, oddly enough it was the sight of the gurney being rolled in for Charlie’s body that buckled her knees.

She stumbled and his heart caught on the next beat.

Fuck this. Josh caught her behind her legs and lifted her against his chest.

“Put me down,” she hissed, too miserable sounding to have any punch. Then she swallowed.
