“Well?”

Caleb knew Bartok was standing there, but his voice made him jump slightly anyway. Caleb was jumping a lot lately.

“I told her to stay away.”

“And?”

“She’ll come anyway. She’s stubborn that way.” Caleb couldn’t keep a small smile of pride off his face.

“And the girl?”

Caleb shrugged. “Emma’s with them. Tiernan, too.”

“We’ll deal with Tiernan.” Sloan crossed the hotel room and poured himself a drink from the minibar. “We make our move once they reach the Colony. You know our orders.”

Caleb nodded curtly. “And you swear Ava won’t be hurt?”

He chuckled. “Nobody wants to hurt your little girlfriend, Caleb. That’s kind of the point, isn’t it?”

“How will they know where to go?”

Bartok took a sip of his drink, the ice tinkling as he eyed him over the rim of the glass. “Well, you’ll need to leave a trail, of course. But don’t make it too obvious. Wouldn’t want to make Tiernan suspicious.”

Caleb turned away, staring sightlessly out the window. “And then?”

Bartok sighed, obviously bored with the conversation they’d had several times already. “Then we get Emma . . . and Ava. And when this is all over and things are settled, the two of you can go wherever . . . and do whatever.” He waved a hand dismissively. “Do your part, Caleb, and everything will be the way it should be. The Council’s time is over. It’s our time now.”

Something teased at Caleb’s memory. Something that made him feel as if what the man was saying wasn’t exactly right, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. When Bartok slapped a hand on his shoulder with an encouraging smile, Caleb smiled back.

He was just nervous . . . worried about what was coming. But it would all be over soon, and he and Ava could be together without Protectors watching their every move. The Council would no longer be looking over their shoulders, and they could live in peace.

Yeah. That was what he was fighting for.
