CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Tracker

“You sure you want to go back in there?” Gordon eyed me from the seat of his Harley as we pulled up in front of the building. “I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”

The same blond sergeant had been stationed at the military barricade just outside of the city when we’d arrived. He’d let us through without question. I think he was afraid of us. I was just glad he wasn’t giving us any trouble. We had enough to deal with without having to worry about the military hunting us as well.

The dregs had brought my Ducati back to the garage and fixed it up. Luke and Ryan were mechanics and kept everyone’s vehicles operable. They’d repaired my bike so it was rideable again, though it was still scratched and scraped from sliding on its side down the road. Not as pretty as it once was, not that it mattered. It ran.

Most of the street lights here had been shot out, casting an eerie darkness over the empty parking lot. Jessica had ridden on the back of Gordon’s Harley the entire way. His bike had room for a passenger, while mine didn’t. I’d encouraged her to ride with him—welcomed it, even—not wanting her pressed against my back distracting me the entire way. Not that it helped. She still distracted me the entire way. I thought of her behind Gordon instead, pressing up against him, and that caused jealousy to spear through me. I ignored her now, trying to push her out of my head, looking only at Gordon.

“Yeah. This is where I got a visual of the girl. In the stairwell. I just need you to help watch for threats while I’m focusing on any leads.”

Gordon nodded. He knew that when a vision hit me, it took me out of the present for several seconds and made me vulnerable to attack. “Okay, then. Let’s do this.” He turned his bike off and flipped the kickstand down. I did the same. He checked his weapons and I checked mine.

I glanced over at Jessica as she dismounted and removed her helmet. She ran her fingers through her dark hair before setting her helmet on the seat. God, she was gorgeous. How could she be so unaware of her own beauty? I closed my eyes, trying to block her from my mind. Bringing her here was a bad idea. Last time, she’d almost been kidnapped by a guy high on drugs. This time, something worse might happen to her. But Gordon was here. He would protect her with his life.

Gordon turned to Jessica. “Stay close to me, girl. My job is to protect you, and I can’t do that if you go running off. Whatever happens in there, you stay with me, got it?”

She glanced over at me. “What if Tracker needs my help with something?”

Gordon snapped his fingers in front of her face, and she flushed, pulling her gaze back to his. “Tracker can take care of himself. If you get hurt, it’ll be my ass he kicks.
