Chapter 10

“How do I look?” Laurie tilted her head so she could peer at Cameron from beneath the oversize baseball cap she was wearing. Her hair was tucked up inside the hat and she wore one of Cameron’s sweatshirts over her jeans.

“Disturbingly sexy.” He ducked his head and kissed the tip of her nose.

They had reached the lockup storage and were waiting for Bryce to meet them. Cameron had managed to get a phone signal here and had called his brother with instructions to bring them a rental car. To Laurie’s relief, Cameron had been right when he said Bryce wouldn’t ask any questions. Instead, his brother had promised to be with them as soon as he could. Before long, they heard the crunch of tires on the track outside.

“Wait here.” Cameron went to the door and looked out. He nodded. “It’s Bryce.”

Laurie trailed behind him out into the bright sunlight. She wasn’t sure how Cameron’s brother would react to this situation. Even if he didn’t know the details, it must be obvious there was a problem and that she was the cause.

Bryce brought the SUV he was driving to a halt and jumped out. He regarded his brother thoughtfully before his eyes moved to Laurie. “Is there any point in me asking what this is all about?”

Cameron held up his car keys. “I need you to take my car and give me that one.”

“That tells me what we’re doing. It doesn’t tell me why.” Bryce waited, and when Cameron didn’t elaborate, he sighed. “This makes me think you don’t want to be recognized by your vehicle. But that would just be odd, because who would be following you around the state highways...and why?”

Cameron placed a hand on his shoulder. “If I told you, you wouldn’t believe me.”

“That’s unfair.” Bryce shot the words back at him. “You’re my brother. You know I’ll believe what you tell me because I know you wouldn’t lie to me.”

Cameron held up his hands in an apologetic gesture. “Let’s just say, I don’t have the time right now to explain it in any way that would sound credible.”

Bryce exhaled, releasing some of the tension from his frame. For the first time, Laurie appreciated just how close the two brothers were. Bryce’s genuine concern for Cameron shone through in his expression. “Promise me you’re not in any danger?”

“I promise I won’t put myself in unnecessary danger.”

Bryce’s handsome face clouded over even further. “Goddamn it, Cam, that’s not the same thing. You know it isn’t.”

“I swear I’ll give you the full story when I can. I just can’t do it now.” Cameron held out his hand.

“But you’ll come to me if I can help in any other way?” Reluctantly Bryce handed Cameron the documents and keys to the rented SUV.

“Absolutely.”

Obviously feeling something more was required of him, Bryce turned to Laurie. “Nice to see you again.” Even though she got the feeling he had to work at injecting a note of enthusiasm into the words, she appreciated the effort.
