CHAPTER 8

Talk about a shitstorm…

Callie wasn’t sure which part of the mission was the most screwed up because they’d been dodging one catastrophe after another since they’d landed. First the car chase, then the helicopter. She’d thought they’d faced the worst of it until her damn boss had turned out to be the asshole who’d set her up. Even falling down the mudslide and nearly drowning in the river seemed oddly comforting compared to realizing her entire career had been a lie.

Or at least, the people in it.

That’s what stung the most. That she’d looked up to him. Considered him a mentor. Hell, a friend. Discovering he’d been playing both sides for god knew how long had her questioning if she still believed in what the DEA stood for. If she’d be able to find her way back once this op was over.

Assuming they didn’t die from exposure or get swept away by the damn storm threatening to tip a tree over on top of them at every turn. While she’d survived tropical storms and hurricanes before, she’d never been hiking through the forest during one. And knowing she might be the reason Booker didn’t make it…

No, she wouldn’t think like that. Booker was tough. More than tough. The man was a machine. Even now, he was leading the way, breaking branches and ensuring nothing surprised them while keeping them moving when she knew they both just wanted to sit down and sleep. Right there in the jungle, the tropical storm raging around them. Every inch of them soaked and shivering.

But after all he’d done — following her down a freaking embankment — she wouldn’t be the reason they didn’t find someplace to wait out the storm. He’d been right. There was no way Keith or any of his men would be out searching for them, now. Sure, if they hadn’t disappeared, she had no doubts the bastards would have trailed behind them until they’d run out of rainforest. But whether she wanted to acknowledge it or not, nearly dying falling down that stupid escarpment had stayed any confrontation until the worst of the storm had passed.

Booker stopped in front of her, and she nearly plowed into him before she caught herself — managed to only knock into his back. He didn’t say anything, holding up one first before crouching behind some trees. Waiting for her to copy him then waving at something off to their right.

Callie scanned the forest, squinting in an effort to see anything amidst the rain and leaves, only to inhale when she saw the wall hidden within the brush not far off. What she assumed was another shack the cartel used to store drugs or weapons. One of the ways they avoided capture if local law got too close.

Booker glanced at her, making more hand signals. He’d go left while she went right. She nodded, slinking around to one side as Booker disappeared in the opposite direction. She moved slowly, checking every direction before taking another step.
