Chapter Seventeen

Fallon

It’s coming up on four in the morning by the time we decide to get some sleep. I’m wrung out and emotionally exhausted. Blake just looks beat. Even though I feel completely spent, there’s a part of me that just wants to stay up and continue talking to him. I just can’t seem to get enough of him.

“So, where were you tonight, anyway?” I ask.

“Out with my old lady.”

His reply is so casual and deadpan that I stare at him for a long moment, trying to wrap my mind around it. Hoping I didn’t hear him correctly.

“Your old lady?” I ask. “So, you’re seeing somebody?”

He stares at me blankly for a minute, and I feel a violent churning in my belly. But then the corners of his mouth slowly creep upward and then the dam breaks. He can’t stop himself from laughing, and I realize he was just screwing with me.

“You are such an asshole,” I say and throw one of his couch pillows at him.

He keeps laughing like it’s the funniest thing in the world. “Your face,” he wheezes. “Priceless. Just priceless.”

Blake wipes his eyes then drains the last of his beer, still chuckling to himself. He gets to his feet and looks down at me.

“I’m glad you’re here,” he says.

“Yeah. Me too.”

“To answer your question, Adam and I were up in Oakland Hills. We were running surveillance on Zavala,” he says. “Trying to gather intel—specifically what his plans were regarding us.”

“And did you hear anything?”

He shakes his head. “It was a bust. We’re looking at finding his office. We might be able to plant some bugs in there,” he says.

“Why don’t you guys just leave him alone?”

He frowns. “Because he’s not going to leave us alone. He’s coming for us,” he replies. “And I, for one, would like to know the hows and whens of it before he does. We need to be ahead of him before he strikes. So, gathering intel is critical.”

I appreciate that he’s leveling with me. For the most part. I can tell there’s something he’s not telling me. Something that will probably freak me out if he did tell me. But I can’t help myself. I’m an inquisitive girl, so I point at his nose.

“So, the busted nose,” I start, “that from gathering intel?”

“No, that’s from somebody who didn’t appreciate us gathering intel.”

He drops it at that, and I don’t feel compelled to pursue it. Yes, it scares me, but there’s nothing I can do about it. All that’s important is that he’s alive and here with me. At least, that’s all I care about right now.

“I really need a shower though,” he says. “And then some sleep.”

“I hear that.”

“If you want to clean up, there’s a second bathroom down the hall. There’s extra toothbrushes and whatnot in the cabinet,” he says.

“Great. Thanks.”

He nods then walks to the master bedroom, leaving me kind of in limbo out here. Is he suggesting that he wants me to sleep in the spare bedroom? I hadn’t planned on that when I asked if I could stay the night.
