CHAPTER TWELVE

The tension in Jude’s shoulders was so tight you could bounce a coin off them. He and the team had been watching the front door of Chan Yu’s building for the last hour, and there’d been no movement at all. Not even a client that had walked in or out.

The one person they wanted to see walk out hadn’t either. Chris Swanson, the contact Steve had, held Sienna’s life in his hands. If anything happened to her, Jude wasn’t going to be responsible for what he did to the other man.

“What the hell is going on? Why is it taking so long?” He drummed his fingers on the table. He should be used to waiting.

How many times had he had to wait for action to happen on a mission?

Too many to count, and he didn’t have a problem there. This was different though. This was more personal. This mission involved Sienna and his sister.

“This is a good sign, mate.” Andy pointed his water bottle at the building. “If they’d walked out two minutes after they’d walked in, then we’d have a problem. Trust Chris. He knows what he’s doing. He’s solid.”

As much as he wanted to believe Andy, he didn’t know Chris and had only briefly meet him after they arrived. He didn’t have a chance to sit down and have a good talk to him. “How did you guys know him?”

Andy pressed his lips together, as if he didn’t want to say anything. It did nothing to ease the tension inside of Jude, if anything it made it worse. After a few moments he nodded as though he’d reached a decision to let Jude in on a little that was the mystery of Chris Swanson. “Let’s just say when we needed it, he’s helped us out on numerous occasions. He’s never let us down once. I’d trust him with my life. He knows what he’s doing, and he’s very good at his job.”

“Right.” As hard as it might be, Jude had to trust what Andy was saying. This group of guys had worked together for years. It was why he’d contacted them in the beginning. Of course, they would’ve made connections with people from other agencies or other security groups.

Being here, the hunger to get back into doing the type of things he’d done when he’d been in the Army had returned. He did miss the adrenaline rush of jumping out of a plane to land in the designated drop zone. To be in the thick of things when taking down their target. While this mission had some of those elements, it didn’t have all of them.

And as much as he’d love to get back into it, he couldn’t. His responsibilities had changed.

Jude sat a little straighter as the door opened, and Chris walked out—alone.

A mixture of being happy and pissed off coursed through him—Sienna was in.

God, Sienna was in.

The reality hit him harder than he thought it would. He wanted to race into that building and pull her out.
