He waited until she’d drifted off to sleep before he made the call. She was curled up like a kitten on the well-worn sofa, tucked in beneath an old afghan crafted from yarn whose colors he was certain hadn’t been in fashion for at least four decades. Lying there with one hand beneath her cheek and her blonde hair falling loose around her face, she was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen. She was lovely, sweet, and braver than he could have imagined. He remembered the moment he’d realized she’d swum out to him despite the risk. The way she had latched onto him while challenging the ghost of the man who’d hunted and hurt her. She’d risked her life out there, just to save his. That was a woman worth dying for. That was a woman worth fighting for, he amended and picked up his cell phone. He needed to make this call before he gave in to the urge to assess the feelings that filled his heart as he watched her sleep. As he hit the first number on his speed dial, he focused his mind on the task at hand. He had to protect Michelle.

The phone was picked up on the second ring. “Remington here. I thought you wanted me to leave you alone to lick your wounds for another week, Sinjin.”

“I’ve got a client for us.”

“How the hell did you find a client in the middle of the forest? Are you rescuing tree nymphs now?”

“Long story, sir, but I’m serious. I’ve got a client who needs our help, badly. She’s been followed up here, and there have been two attacks, one on her, and one on me.” He winced at the long silence that preceded his boss’s next words, knowing what was coming.

“So she needs protection, and you got attacked? Do I even need to guess? How many times do I have to tell you guys? Rule number three, never get involved with a damsel in distress!”

“It’s not that simple, sir.”

“Yeah, I know. It never is when a woman’s involved. You can give me the details when you get back here, I’ll send a bird along shortly to pick up you and your new client. It’ll bring you to Sea-Tac airport. I’ll have a car waiting.”

“Thank you.” Sinjin breathed a sigh of relief.

“You don’t ask for favors lightly, so I’m taking you at your word. Get your ass back to Seattle, man. We’ve missed you.”

Sinjin grinned and was about to reply when Remington added, “And, Sin, if you tell anyone I said that, I’ll kick your ass.”

“Yes, sir.” He chuckled as he hung up the phone. His boss was one of the toughest men he’d ever met, but underneath all the bluster, he was a good man, and a close friend.

He sat still for a moment longer, enjoying watching Michelle sleep. Soon he’d have to wake her up and tell her it was time to pack her things. He couldn’t protect her here.
