Chapter 13

Two hours later, Brynnon had given the welcome speech, they’d eaten a meal that wasn’t that great, but probably cost a month’s pay per plate, and the two had spent far too long walking around the large crowd.

After introducing him to a bunch of people whose names he’d already forgotten, the pair made their way over to the bar. Grant was sitting on a stool next to Coop while Brynnon, Mac, and Brynnon’s friend, Angie, chatted it up a few feet away at end of the bar.

Just like at the hospital, Angie or Mac would glance his way and soon, they’d start giggling like schoolgirls.

He should probably be annoyed by their juvenile behavior, but Grant found it oddly endearing. Although, he was sure to suffer some hardcore ribbing from Mac later.

As Alpha Team’s one and only female member, the woman looked about as girl-next-door as they came. In reality, she was one of the best damn snipers he’d ever seen.

“You talk to the brother yet?”

Grant turned to Coop. “Yeah. Saw him earlier.”

“And?”

“Claims Wright is full of shit and the materials Cantrell Construction used on the bridge near Kunar were the same as every other bridge the company built overseas.”

“You believe him?”

Grant sighed. “I don’t know. He seemed taken off guard by the question.”

“Could just be because it came out of nowhere.”

“Maybe. Part of me feels like he knows more than he’s saying.”

“Why’s that?”

Grant took a sip of his whiskey. Normally, they didn’t drink while on duty, but since Brynnon and her father wanted them to blend in with the crowd, the two men had each ordered one to help solidify their covers.

“He seemed sort of nervous at first,” he told Coop. “Then again, the guy’s a bit odd, so who the fuck knows?”

“How’d Brynnon take you questioning her brother?”

He shrugged. “Fine. Not like I grilled the guy. Plus, she wants to find out if Wright was telling the truth, so there’s that.”

Coop thought for a moment. “Well, if there’s any truth to Wright’s allegations, D will find it.”

Grant nodded. “Yeah. I talked with him earlier today. He left a message for the P.I. and is just waiting to hear back. Derek said Trevor also put a call into Ryker.”

Jason Ryker was the Homeland Security agent in charge of a special task force. He was also R.I.S.C.’s handler and often hired them for ops the government couldn’t officially become involved in.

“Hopefully Jason can get his hands on the investigation file. That should shed some light on the whole deal.”

With a nod, Grant and Coop continued to keep an eye on the girls. A few minutes later, they watched as a man about Grant’s age approached them. He was six-one, maybe six-two, head full of dark, brown hair, and a winning smile.

The stranger introduced himself to the other two women, but the guy’s focus was clearly on Brynnon. Every muscle in Grant’s body tensed.

“Who’s that?” Coop asked casually, sipping his own drink.

“No idea.”

Coop gave the man an assessing glance. “He seems really familiar, but I can’t place him.
