Chapter 9

Nik drove him back to his Jeep, but they didn't exchange much in the way of conversation. Joseph had to get his head around everything that had been told to him. Elisabeth had never mentioned Robert in any of her emails; well, those that got through anyway.

"The offer of a room still stands," Nik said as Joseph climbed out of the car. He stopped and took a few seconds to consider then looked back in.

"I work best on my own," he offered. He was lying; he worked best with the team around him that he trusted with his life. These guys he had met tonight weren't his team—they were nothing more than a means to an end. Morgan too vulnerable, Nik way too focused on Morgan and Dale… Hell, he was like tinder in a dry storm waiting to ignite.

"For Morgan's sake…" Nik's voice trailed away, and he closed his eyes briefly. "I've kept him safe from them. Please don't kick the hornet's nest and bring all the shit down on him."

Joseph frowned and stood away from the car. "What is it you think I am going to do?"

"I'm not an idiot, Joseph. You would do what I would do for my family. Just… remember there are other people involved."

"Nik—"

"What is it you SEALs say? The execution of my duties will be swift and violent?" Joseph's stomach turned. That sentence on its own was harsh and black on white. Nik missed out the rest of the sentence about SEALs being guided by the very principles they served to defend. Joseph wasn't going to add it. "We need to get this family through legal means." Joseph bristled.

"I can't—"

"Promise me you will stop and think how this impacts others."

He didn't answer. He couldn't promise anything. Morgan meant nothing to him beyond any other civilian he needed to protect. Not only that, he had information to share with Dexter and Fuentes.

New names for the list.

And one in particular. Robert Bullen.
