Chapter Twenty

The creak of swings provided a familiar sound for Kaylan’s frayed nerves. At the park, the innocence and joy of childhood collided with carefree moments spent with Nick. Megan dove into a book, Kaylan into her memories. She just wanted an escape. No, she just wanted Nick. But You’re here, Lord. You heard every word. You knew before they were said. And you love Nick more than I do. Keep him safe. Help me trust You with him.

Every time she missed Nick and committed her relationship to the Lord another piece of armor fell from her heart. But now more than ever, she needed to talk to him, know he was okay. Even now, he could be headed into a snake pit, the kind you didn’t walk away from unscathed. And she couldn’t do a thing. It would almost be better if she didn’t know when he would be in danger, although Nick seemed to attract it. For that matter so did she.

Logan and the guys had left and would take care of what was necessary on their end, and she could only wait and pray. She knew the SEALs would stick close to her until Nick came home. If the Russian approached her again, she was to leave wherever she was and call one of them. She wanted to be strong for Nick. She didn’t want to live bound by the fear of her kidnapping months earlier. Truth be told, she was still quaking in her boots, but she just didn’t want to respond in fear anymore. Kaylan knew her man. He wouldn’t run from danger, didn’t turn from fear. He would run toward it in pursuit of victory. She would stand firm, too. But she would be smart about it. And that meant asking for help.

“So let me get this straight,” Natalie said from the swing to Kaylan’s right. Her feet traced patterns in the mulch. “A terrorist fixated on you, had you and Megan kidnapped, and Nick is now trying to catch that little weasel’s boss?”

Kaylan had told her everything. Everything short of releasing a national security secret and revealing anything personal about Janus or her relationship to Nick and Natalie. But Natalie knew enough.

“You know about as much as I do now.” If Kaylan had learned anything in the last hour, it was that Natalie didn’t panic, another indication of her military background. She took in the facts, mulled them over, and then came to a conclusion.

“I’ve never really been around SEALs, but I know this isn’t normal.”

“Nope. This person made it personal.” Because of biology. A genetic connection that Kaylan worried might now affect Natalie. The man had known.

“How did he even know I would be here? I didn’t even know I was coming until I pulled up.”

If Natalie kept asking questions, she would identify every hole Kaylan had desperately attempted to navigate around. “I don’t think he knew you were here. Just knew who you were. I really can’t answer how he knew.” But she could use logic, and that logic scared her.
