Trey was waiting for her in a cubicle farm at the end of the hallway. ‘Well?’ he asked.

‘You don’t want to know,’ Cassie said.

‘I’m your husband.’

‘That’s why you don’t want to know.’

The C.I.A. lady, Eason, came up to them. ‘The Fury just attacked Witness Protection headquarters in Denver. Grabbed Walters. She didn’t talk so he killed her.’

Cassie gasped. ‘Connie-Anne? Holy shit.’

‘But then he found a computer guy, Emmett something. Tortured the poor kid till he pulled up your file. The Fury knows everything about you, what you look like, where you work, who you married, and your home address here in L.A.’

‘Jesus,’ Trey said.

‘He knows where we live . . .’ Cassie said. She began to hyperventilate. And he’d murdered Connie-Anne. Gruff yet kind, the U.S. Marshal had stayed loyal to Cassie to the end, till he killed her.

‘Cassie, you okay—?’ Trey said.

Cassie was breathing faster and faster. ‘I can’t—I need—I’ve got to go somewhere I can—’

She was losing it.

Trey took her firmly by the arm and looked her squarely in the eye.

‘Hey,’ he said. ‘I got you.’

Cassie blinked uncomprehendingly.

Trey added, ‘I may not have any superpowers, but I got your back. Come with me.’

He said it with such calm assurance, she settled down a bit. He guided her gently down the hallway toward the elevators.

As they walked, Cassie regathered herself and threw a sideways look at her young husband.

‘You do have a superpower, by the way,’ she said.

‘What’s that?’

‘Bravery.’

‘Yeah? When was I brave?’ Trey asked.

‘When you met my mother the first time,’ Cassie said.
