Kenna hadn’t uttered a sound in hours. Drake and Geo worked. Bobby returned without any information on Trent’s recent whereabouts. He knew better than to ask Kenna.

Drake controlled his burst of anger when Bobby told him Trent also lived in Kenna’s condo complex.

Why hadn’t she told him?

Because you’ve been a bully and she’s got a reason not to trust you.

Shit. He’d fucked this up every possible way.

“Takes me awhile to get ready so I should go get started,” Kenna said.

He rose to his feet. “I’ll come with you.”

“Not necessary.”

Their gazes met. Clashed.

Defiant, she lifted her stubborn chin higher. “Relax, Agent March. I won’t run out on you. I’m fully versed in the consequences.” She held out her hands. “You gonna cuff me again?”

The little snot had the audacity to throw that in his face? “No.”

“Then the key, please.”

Drake fished the old-fashioned fob from his pocket and tossed it to her. “I’ll be over in a little bit. Don’t go anywhere.”

“I know you don’t trust me, boss. But remember the sooner you get your information the sooner I can get back to my real life.” With a haughty toss of her head, she exited the room.

He sagged against the paneling, somewhat reassured to see her temper had returned.

“You stupid son-of-a-bitch. Did you have to sleep with her?” Geo demanded.

“Yes,” Drake snapped, “I did.”

Silence.

“Shit, Drake, this ain’t no run of the mill case. You’re in deep trouble with her, aren’t you?”

Drake merely nodded.

Geo stared at Drake thoughtfully. “What are you going to do?”

“My goddamn job.”

“But you’ve never messed around with an informant. You’ve never stepped over that professional line. What is so special about her that makes you act so—”

“Drop it. I’ll deal with it—and her—later.”

The toilet flushed.

Bobby stepped out of the bathroom. “Did I hear the door slam?”

“You’d better deal with it now. If your judgment is off even a little, you could be putting us all in the middle of a shitstorm.”

Confused, Bobby asked, “Deal with what? What’d I miss?”

Geo sighed. “I’ll tell you when you’re older, kid. Let’s get back to work.”
