Chapter Twelve

Rand stroked Sarah’s shoulder and stared at the ceiling.

They weren’t talking, and for the first time…that was fine. Because if he opened his mouth, he was going to poke the problem. That wasn’t solving things. He wanted something he couldn’t have, and instead of getting upset about it, he needed to accept that in this, Sarah was right.

They were what they were, and pinning a name to it wasn’t important.

His phone beeped in the silence. A single, solitary tone, but it was enough to stop him breathing for the span of a second.

“What was that?” Sarah muttered, half asleep.

He rolled out of the bed and snagged his boxers from the pile of clothes as he dug for the phone.

“Get dressed.” He didn’t have time to explain why, and he didn’t know the reasons yet, but that sound couldn’t be good.

To Sarah’s credit she, too, rolled out of bed and went straight to the bag of clothing, no more questions asked.

“Someone just tried to hack the laptop. Our cover’s likely blown.” He tossed the phone on the bed. “We need to be out of here in less than five.”

“I knew we shouldn’t have…” The rest of Sarah’s statement was lost in fabric.

They dressed in a rush. Rand kept one eye on the door, watching for shadows, the hint of movement, something that would tell him they’d been spotted.

“Dress to move. Put what you can carry in the black bag.” He’d prepared a bug-out bag just for this instance, though unlike Seoul, he had next to zero bolt holes and none of his contacts had hit him back yet.

They were flying blind.

In less than five minutes, they were both dressed and the essentials loaded. Rand secured his shoulder holsters and two pistols under his coat. They weren’t playing around anymore.

He took a clip holster out of the bag and held it out to Sarah.

“No, I don’t have a license to carry. I live in China most of the time. Owning a gun there is a red flag.” She glanced from the weapon to him.

“They wouldn’t put you in the field if you didn’t know how to use it. Take it.” He grabbed her by the waistband and jammed the holster on her hip. “Ready?”

She flipped her jacket over the weapon.

“I go first. We go to the stairwell, go down a floor, assess where we’re at.” If someone had attempted to break into the laptop and failed, they’d start asking around. It wouldn’t take long to make the assumption that Sarah was a good place to start pointing fingers.

Ultimately, his gamble of hiding in plain sight had failed, but they knew one crucial piece of the puzzle.

The briefcase was on American soil.

“We’re going to be okay, Sarah.”

She nodded.

He hefted the bag higher on his shoulder, placed one hand on the gun at his side, and pulled the door open. Using a firearm in a hotel was a bad idea. The walls weren’t all solid, people could get hurt, innocents could die. Which was why they had to run.
