When they exited the cabin, Matt growled a curse. Not only had Cooper taken the SUV, he’d punctured the tires of the other vehicle. He turned to Vixen with a frown. “Looks like we’re on foot.”

She nodded and readjusted the bag on her shoulder. “Yeah. And I’m guessing Cooper is waiting down the road for us.” The exchanged a glance. “How well do you know this area?”

He shrugged. “Been here a few times on WitPro. It’s mostly scrub. Maybe a few hunting cabins. Closest town is Salvation, about ten miles thataway.” He thrust his thumb to the west.

“Feel up for a hike?” Her grin was dauntless. He liked it. Liked her fearlessness. Her pluck. It was going to be a hell of a trek through the wilderness, and avoiding Cooper—and any of Don Reymundo’s minions who might be lurking—was only one of their worries. It was hot, deserted and there were rattlers.

But he nodded. “Sure thing. But we should switch out our gear.”

“Right.”

“There are survival packs in the car.” He popped the trunk and pulled out a backpack filled with water, MREs and other emergency supplies that were SOP on every mission. To his surprise, she grabbed one as well. “That’s heavy,” he said, but before the words were out, she’d hefted the sixty-pound pack and whipped it onto her back and then proceeded to tighten the straps like a pro.

“Ready?” she asked. Again, he was gaping like a turkey in the rain.

“Um, yeah.” But he took the time to transfer some of his stuff from his bag. Not that he’d need a toothbrush in the bush, but he’d never leave his journal behind.

“I think we should head out the back way and circle around to town,” she suggested before he had a chance to. And then, without speaking and in tandem, they both cut leafy branches off a shrub to scour away their footprints. It occurred to him that her training had been eerily similar to his. He ached to ask her about her background, but they both knew this wasn’t the time for a chat.

They had to get away, and far, before Cooper returned. And he would. With backup.

Even though she insisted she was here to protect him, he was determined to keep her safe too. Whether she liked it or not.

They made their way to the crest of the hill and then wound down to the valley below, following a natural ravine. They could use it for cover if they came under fire. Matt scanned the flatlands before them and grunted. “We should probably stick to the tree line,” he said.

“Yeah, and I think I see a river there.” She pointed to the left. “We can use it to disguise our scents.” He shot her a surprised glance and she tipped her head to the side. “You know. In case they bring in dogs.”

“That happen a lot in your profession?” It was probably a bad time to crack a joke, but he was still stinging over the fact that she’d lied about her identity.
