CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Rubbing his temples, Jared continued to pace Sugar’s living room. Kip was dead, Sugar was pissed, and he’d had about enough of all the random headaches tied to what should’ve been a tidy operation. His skin prickled. Sugar was being set up by someone close. There were too many coincidences, and too many sure things had fallen apart. Overly aware of the tingle racing the length of his spine, Jared tossed his phone from one hand to the other. His heart thumped in his ears. Think, think, think. The beats pushed his mind to position the puzzle pieces.

He didn’t have many options to consider. Either GSI had eyes and ears on his team, or…

His heartbeat still spoke to him. Think, think, think. Its demand grew more impatient when he wouldn’t admit the possibility staring him in the face. Someone within Titan had screwed him.

He dialed Parker. Gut feelings were worth investigating, even if it meant the worst-case scenario could exist. Jared checked his watch, oh dark thirty. He gave Parker an extra minute to answer the phone before irritation fueled their conversation.

“Boss Man, what can I do?” Parker’s voice splintered with sleep-heavy dryness.

“Get to a computer, and light up everyone’s phone signals.” He cracked his knuckles, not believing he had to ask this. “Locate everyone on the team.”

Jared heard a shuffling in the background, which he could only guess was Parker getting out of bed. “Give me two, and I’ll hit you back.”

“I’ll wait.”

A blasting noise screamed from the driveway. His breath caught in his lungs. Surprise, then concern jumped his blood pressure. Car alarm? What the hell? He put the phone on a side table.

“Sugar,” he yelled up the stairs.

No answer.

He ran to the closest window, ducking for cover, and peeked out. Va-voom, rumble, rumble, rumble. The hood to his Expedition was up. Sugar’s car floored into reverse, screeching out of the driveway as the lights flipped on.

“Sugar!” Jared ran up the stairs, then kicked open every door.

Each was empty. Instinct said he was alone, but his mind couldn’t wrap around it. Jared scrambled down the stairs, swiping his cell phone, and then out the front door, keys in hand.

He barked at Parker, “Locate Sugar’s phone.”

“Okay.”

How someone had slipped into her house and taken her was a question that should’ve made him question his chosen profession. If he couldn’t pick up on an intruder who was an imminent threat to his woman, then he needed to pick up a new gig.

Still keeping Parker on the line, Jared walked outside, pocketed the phone, and withdrew his sidearm. His eyes scanned the perimeter, his senses honed for any danger. Nothing. All alone.

Why would Baer’s team grab Sugar, knowing he was there? At the very least, someone had been there. They’d gone to the trouble of screwing with his truck. That didn’t make sense. None of it did.

Gun in hand, Jared slammed down his hood and silenced the alarm. He opened the driver’s door and slid in. His gut tightened. Why’d
