“What about Travis? He drives the Com Van.”

“He's on his way to the flat spot before Capital Peak. It's you they really need on this one, Kat. Got another call coming in.”

Before she could say anything else, Rand hung up. Kat ran into the bedroom to change. Grabbing her coat and keys, she disarmed the alarm and hurried out the door. The snow had stopped and as the day started to break, she saw only a few inches on the ground. That wasn't so bad.

She jumped into her Xterra and stuck in her earpiece in case she got any calls on the way. No sooner did she activate the Bluetooth than her phone rang.

“Kat Davis.”

“Hey.”

“Spence?” Her heart skipped and she both loved and hated that she still had that kind of reaction whenever he called. He didn't normally call while out on a find so, of course, she assumed the worst. “Is everything okay?”

His voice trembled. “No.”

Her stomach clenched. “What is it? What's wrong?”

He drew a shaky breath. “We lost a guy tonight. He...” Spencer's voice faded and pain seeped through the line, straight into her.

“Spencer? What happened?”

“I ran over.” Another shaky breath. “It was too late. Gabriel Lyons. Been on the team longer than any of us.” His voice cracked.

“Oh, Spencer.” Kat brought her hand to her mouth. She'd only met him on the Miller search. Spencer spoke of him often. He really cared for him, almost as a son would a father.

Oh God. No. Her heart ached. Yet another father taken from him.

“I'm so sorry.”

“We have another one barely hanging on. Just a kid. They air vac'd him out. He's in surgery to remove the bullet.”

“Bullet!” she cried and white-knuckled the steering wheel. “You were shot at?”

“Yeah. No one else was hit.” After several ragged breaths, he went on. “I just had to hear your voice. Jesus, Mary is going to be devastated when TREX tells her. This will destroy her. This is why I won't... I can't do this to you.”

Her heart stopped, the pain so intense she couldn't take a breath. “Spencer, don't say that. Don't you dare say that.”

“I'm sorry.”

“No,” she begged as her emotions got the better of her. Her eyes swelled with tears and her voice quivered. “You promised me. Please don't do this.”

“Kathryn, baby. Don't cry.”

“Don't make me cry.”

“I just—” He swallowed a groan. “I can't. I just can't, Kathryn.”

“Tell you what,” she said, bargaining for more time. He was clearly in no state to talk about their future and she needed to stay focused on the upcoming search. “Let's just talk about this later, okay? We don't need to talk about this now.”

After several stressful seconds of silence, he answered, “Okay. I have to go. Please promise me something.”

“Anything.”

“If you get a call from Weber, don't take the job.”

“I'm actually on my way there now.”

“Sweet Jesus. Turn around, baby. Don't come up here.”

“I'm coming,” she told him, determined to do whatever she could to end this. Whatever this was. She couldn't stand hearing Spencer in so much pain.
