Raider hurried down the hallway until he found an empty office. He went in, closed the door, and pulled the burner cell phone from his boot. He dialed a number and waited.

“Yo,” the voice came down the line.

“Lane, it’s Raider.”

“Raider, I don’t have a lot of time, what’s up?”

“I’ll be quick. Piper is doing an undercover thing and I got dragged into it⁠—”

“Aw hell, you okay?”

The urge to say hell no welled up in him. He wasn’t okay but now wasn’t the time to get into all the touchy-feely shit romping through him. “It’s fine. Listen, there’s a group of weapons dealers operating in the US. Apparently, they’re huge and moving some serious equipment. Including stolen military stuff. You hear anything about this? Have any ideas about it?”

Lane whistled. “I’ve heard rumors. No one says too much, and when they crack open their yaps about it, they only whisper it when no one is around. Whoever is behind it has serious high up government pull. Think top-level decision-makers. This is not the stuff you want to get involved in. Retired means not getting involved.”

Raider grinned. “And what are you doin’ right now? I saw how you shot out of the room when that woman was on the screen. You lit up like a Christmas tree. Dude, retired means choosing when to get involved.”

“Christmas tree?” Lane snorted. “Asshole.”

Raider’s grin broadened. “So, do you know anything helpful?”

“Yeah, stay out of the way and don’t get shot.”

“Right. I hadn’t thought of that. Thanks.” Raider chuckled. “Seriously though, you know anything?”

“Nothing concrete other than their complete lack of fear or hesitation over taking out anyone who creates problems for them. Just be careful. It’s a big network. My best advice; trust no one”

“Thanks, Lane. I hope Christmas comes early for you.” Lane hung up swearing.

Raider smiled. Calling the guys always helped him. Even if they had no new information, just touching base made him feel like he was in control, whether that was the truth or not.

He looked around the sparsely furnished office. There was nothing in it. Just an old desk and a chair. He sat and took stock of his attitude. He was a mess, no question. Seeing Piper had thrust him back a few steps, but holding her and kissing her had rocked his world. The path ahead would be long and dark if he let himself go down that particular rabbit hole again. He’d be better served to cut off one of his own limbs than to try to chase that dream again. God knew he’d tried to move on. There’d been other women. But none had measured up to Piper. He’d never seen a future with anyone else. Only Piper. And look where that landed him: right in the middle of a goddamn shit show.

Swearing, he leaped up from the desk. Focus on getting the job done and then getting the hell away from Piper was the name of the game. He wouldn’t let her go in alone because
