CHAPTER EIGHT

Rhodes

“Not bad,” Rhodes admitted thoughtfully, studying the gear laid out before him.

“Yeah, we have good sponsors,” Redmond chuckled, one hand on the last row of seats as the airplane dipped lower, almost causing him to lose his footing.

Rhodes flipped through the mostly unopened packages, mentally going through the equipment list he usually used during missions. None of his brothers were smokejumpers, but they sure knew how to gear up for it. All the equipment was top of the line, in triple sets and Rhodes got the feeling that there was more stashed away.

Scowling, he looked at Redmond. “Who’s this for? You gone through training without letting me know? Because I know Ragnar isn’t about to jump out of any airplanes anytime soon.”

“Well, I thought maybe you would be the sacrificial bear,” Redmond said with an easy grin, leaning on the back of the chair now.

Looking at Redmond was like looking at a slightly older, less-damaged version of himself. Hell, could he ever get that kind of a grin on his lips, like he was convinced that everything would work itself out eventually? Rhodes doubted it.

“Right. Because when you look at me, you think—model citizen, pillar of small town Idaho. I don’t think so, bro.”

“Worth a try,” Redmond said, though the way he said it made Rhodes think that this conversation wasn’t quite over yet.

Redmond peeled himself off the seat, carefully walking toward the cockpit and Rhodes followed his lead.

One of the bigger fires had happened there and out of the window, Rhodes could see the damage it had done. It would be a while before the woods bounced back. It always made him sick to his stomach to see stuff like that.

Probably why I became a smokejumper, he thought wryly.

They were the guys who got sent into the most dangerous wildfires, parachuting in instead of working their way through the woods. The job needed fit, capable individuals who could rely on their own strengths and think clearly under stress. As messed up as Rhodes had always been, he was one of the best in the business when it came to his work.

But there was always that slightly masochistic side to him that loved jumping into shit like that, thinking that he might not come out of it. Like watching the tall, proud trees burn exactly the same way they had that night when he pushed Jonathan into the forest. The bastard had tried to get away in wolf form, but he’d caught him. And then he’d hit him and shook him between his jaws until there was nothing but a lifeless carcass between his teeth.

So he’d done what he knew he shouldn’t, but he was also sure that it would hide all the evidence. The underbrush had taken the flame like it was primed for it, burning with a high, open flame. An acre of land went
