Chapter 10

Elaine sat in the waiting room at the ER in Bozeman, Fig sitting beside her as her brother Brent was examined and treated.

Most of his injuries were superficial, other than a couple of fractured ribs. He’d needed eleven stitches to close cuts on his face, and there was going to be considerable bruising and swelling for the days to come, but otherwise, he’d gotten off light, considering the alternative.

She couldn’t stop reliving the moments when she’d first spied him via Cage’s camera feed tied to a chair, his face nearly unrecognizable due to the beating he’d taken.

Then she’d looked on as Cage had laid down his weapon and turned his back on the gunmen to march down that long hallway… She’d held her breath the entire time, expecting another spray of bullets to take him down.

Watching as Cage had knelt in the dirt, then the crazy slip to the side as he’d rolled, raised his weapon in front of him, and shot the man inside a second… Well, she’d known Cage was a former SEAL, but she hadn’t really known what he was capable of doing.

The fact both gunmen had been dispatched so quickly, and that no one else had been injured or killed, impressed her. Cage was where he belonged—working with this crew of rough and capable men women, taking down bad guys.

Too bad there was no place for her in his world.

At last, Reaper and Cage walked out of the double doors leading into the ER, Brent between them.

Brent’s eyes weren’t nearly as swollen as they had been, and he gave her a crooked grin—which shocked her because he was missing a tooth in his formerly perfect smile.

Reaper’s glance went to Elaine. “I’m taking this guy back to the motel in Dead Horse. I don’t think he’s gonna be safe on his own until the law gets Whitcomb in custody. They have a warrant out for his arrest for extortion and kidnapping. His people rolled on him as soon as the Feds showed up.”

Elaine nodded. “Thank you for looking out for him.” She drew a deep breath. “So, I guess this is it, right? I don’t suppose Cage can come along for the trip to the detention facility in Bozeman, could he?”

“About that…” Reaper said. “It’s the damn middle of the night, and I need some shuteye. We all do. Let’s convoy back to Dead Horse and get some rest. In the morning, the team’s meeting up at the diner in town. Then we’ll figure out who’s escorting you to jail. In the meantime…” He gave her a narrow-eyed stare. “Can I leave you in Cage’s custody for the night without you trying to escape?”

Relief flooded her. One more night of freedom—a night spent with Cage. “I promise I won’t attempt to escape. I’m ready for this nightmare to end.” And she was speaking a very heartfelt truth. Whatever the outcome, however long the court decided to lock her away, she was at peace.

Reaper clapped a hand on Brent’s shoulder, causing her brother to wince.
