FRIDAY. SAFE HOUSE, Albuquerque, New Mexico.

By the time Brenden plodded up the stone walk to the safe house it seemed as though a month had passed in one night. He hadn’t seen or heard from Priscilla since putting her in the ATV. No one had mentioned her in all the back and forth with cops and first responders, so it stood to reason she was fine. And yet, he’d be lying to himself if he didn’t own up to that anxious part inside of him that needed to know she was okay.

What he wanted was to hold her, reassure himself it was all another bad chapter. But he couldn’t. There was still too much to do before anyone could rest. According to Nolan the first half of the team had only arrived at the house half an hour ago. Which meant they still had to brief, set up surveillance, make a plan, figure out who the hell those people were. Just because they’d reached a waypoint in the journey didn’t mean they were safe, that they could let their guard down, or anything.

God, what he wouldn’t give to just sit in a comfortable chair for fifteen minutes though. He wouldn’t sleep, but at least he’d get a chance to rest.

Nolan slowed his pace until they were side by side. “You know, in most jobs, if you’d just survived a plane crash you’d get a few days off to recuperate?”

Brenden replied, his brain not fully engaged. “Go find that job and tell me if you’re happy.”

Nolan chuckled then grinned at him. “You’re chatty. You sure aliens didn’t abduct our Brenden?”

He presented Nolan with his middle finger.

Ahead of them, Vaughn opened the front door to the spacious home and gestured for them to enter. “Come on you two.”

The safe house was done in a southwest style with a square structure, flat roof and brown exterior. He was vaguely aware of rocks and cactus outside before following his team inside.

It was too bright.

That was his first impression.

Light gleamed down, only to be reflected up by shiny tiles. Mirrors graced either wall of the entry and even the table was made from a reflective metal.

“I’m starving,” Vaughn muttered and moved farther into the house. “Yo, Grant? Melody?”

Brenden set his bags down then shut the door and locked it.

The smell of food, something with spice, wafted to him and his stomach growled.

Had Priscilla eaten? Was she okay? Comfortable?

He scooped up the bags and followed the other guys around the curved entry into the heart of the home. A couple white, furry rugs helped dampen the light reflection. To his left the kitchen opened up, done in miles of stainless steel and wood. Beyond that an eating area was set up with boxes bearing name brand electronics. New laptops, tablets, probably even phones.

“Fuck,” Brenden groaned.

“What?” Riley stopped in front of him holding a plate and a bottle of water. “Here.”

“The EMP fried all the surveillance gear, didn’t it?” Brenden set the bags down and took the offered food.
