Chapter Eleven

Fuck! Hostages were missing.

Not what any team leader ever wanted to hear in the middle of a rescue.

“I need everyone on the initial breach to search the house…again. Every closet, every dark corner, under beds. Rip this place apart.” Dex had wanted to shout the order but held his emotions in check.

“Silas, check the—”

“We’re already on it, Dex,” his current boss affirmed. “Pulling live feed now.”

The screech of tires and rumble of powerful vehicles turned his focus to the nine girls and three chaperones. “Rayne, I know your job is the Sedgewick family, but I want you to escort the women and children to the helicopters. They know and trust you. Help get them off the island.”

Her nod and lack of argument surprised and pleased him.

When she grabbed his bicep, heat exuded from her touch. “Keep me informed. Let me know where to meet you.”

He leaned in close to the opposite ear from her comm unit and whispered as softly as he could. “Stay safe. We’re not sure how many men Jaja has working with him on the island.” He watched her beautiful backside as she strutted into the kitchen. He couldn’t bear to think she might get hurt.

Dex shook his head to clear that horrible idea from his brain and focused on the hunt for Callie and Angelique Sedgewick. His mission wasn’t over until all the hostages were safe.

After twenty minutes of searching, he flipped personnel to gain new eyes. Dex sent the active duty SEALs through the interior of the house and his breaching team to check the exterior. The rain had returned with vengeance, washing away any possibility of tracking them.

Stepping out onto the massive porch, he watched the three helicopters silhouetted against the gray dawn as the pilots took advantage of the lighter rain. In the morning haze, Dex scanned the houses nearby. Both teams had already searched every inch of the empty homes.

Where the fuck would that damn terrorist have taken them? Jaja had a two-hour head start. With a tired sigh, Dex knew they were back to square one. He dropped his chin to his chest.

He felt her presence before he heard her light footsteps.

“That was a deep sigh.” Rayne rubbed her hand up and down his back. “In the famous words of Dex Carson, team leader extraordinaire, we’ll find them.”

“I should be the one comforting you,” he confessed as he wrapped his arm around her and mirrored her movement.

“Yeah, but you’re the one with the perfect rescue record. That’s why I have faith we’ll find Jaja and the Sedgewicks.”

Her confidence in him bolstered his conviction. “Back to the War Room,” he ordered. Dropping his hand from her back, he strode to the SUVs.

On their way down the hill, his secure cell phone rang. “Dex. This line is secure.”

“Silas here. Sorry, Dex, but you’re losing your SEAL team. They need to meet the choppers at the baseball fields and bug out. The admiral of the fleet off Venezuela is running away from the hurricane, which is now a category two with indications of intensifying.
