Chapter Fourteen

Daryl studied the woman beside him. Even sleeping, she was tense, huddled into herself. Her arms were crossed in front of her, her hands tucked under her armpits. A frown creased her face and she shook her head, just once. Several strands of hair fell across her cheek and his fingers itched to brush them away. To pull her into his arms and coax her into relaxing against him, the way she had their one night together.

The way she had a few hours earlier, when she stumbled to the side of the makeshift trail they'd been forging and become sick.

He needed his fucking head examined. Relaxed? He didn't think the woman he couldn't seem to look away from knew what the word meant. Could he blame her? No, not after learning what she'd gone through the last few years.

As far as comforting—you needed to trust someone to let them comfort you. Like her father had warned, Kelsey Davis wasn't one to trust.

He eased his bulk from the seat and moved two rows back. The plane they were on was another small private charter, big enough for eight people. Theoretically, there should be plenty of room for the five of them.

There wasn't.

He wedged himself between Mac and Chaos, nodded at the phone in Mac's large hand. "Did you make the calls?"

"Yeah, everything's going to be handled. Bodies will be disposed of, no questions asked."

At any other time, the words would have reassured Daryl. Not this time. There would be questions. Maybe not from the authorities—their contact would make certain of that—but no way in hell would Grady Byrne not notice three of his men missing. No way in hell would he not question it.

He turned to Chaos, nodded to the secured laptop opened and braced against his legs. Daryl had already told all three of them what was going on. At least, the abbreviated version:

Kelsey was Davis's daughter.

She'd been running from Byrne for three years.

Her daughter was Byrne's granddaughter.

She'd given her daughter to Davis six months ago to hide and hadn't seen her since.

Abbreviated version? Shit, that was pretty much all he knew.

"Find anything?"

"Yeah, enough. And you're going to fucking love this. It's ingenious. I'll give it to your friend—he knew what the hell he was doing."

Daryl clenched his jaw, had to control the urge to punch the man in the mouth just to see that cocky fucking smile disappear from his face. "Care to elaborate?"

"To start with, you were right about the coordinates being flipped." Chaos turned the laptop to the side so Daryl could see it and pointed at the enlarged map on the screen. "If anyone got hold of them, they'd end up near Oelrichs, South Dakota."

Daryl leaned forward, frowned at the screen. "Where the hell is that?"

"Yeah, exactly. But—if you flip the latitude, you end up here." Chaos typed something into the computer and brought up another map. "Portales, New Mexico. Just like you said. Want to know what's an
