15.

ALEX DROPPED HIS SHIELD onto the tailgate and tugged off his helmet. The others were similarly peeling their gear off, dousing their heads in water and hydrating while they could. Jenna handed around extra bottles of water, doing her best to keep them all in tip-top shape. He forced his gaze away from her, to keep his attention on the guys. There would be time to tell her about his interview later.

Right now, they had to address the mess that was their intended approach.

“That was sloppy.” He stared around the circle.

Sean in particular dodged his gaze.

Alex strode to the prop pieces they were using to run through tonight’s operation. A couple free standing walls, a door, and they had their house. Their practice set up was located inside the yard behind the station, out of sight and under a large, metal awning. It shielded them from the direct glare of the sun and random observers.

“When we go in, keep it tight. I know you’re thinking Trevor’s right behind you, Liam, but he isn’t. Keep that shoulder in.”

Liam nodded and stared at his boots. The sniper might put on the good ‘ol boy act, but he took his job more serious than most. Alex had to handle criticism carefully with Liam, or else the man would take responsibility for everything that went wrong and start second guessing himself. Liam was best when he operated without doubt.

“Sean, when we go for that door hit it harder. I want in on one swing.”

“How sure are we they’re cooking meth?” Casey eyed his unopened bag of gear.

“Plain clothes say it wreaks of egg, so I’d say pretty certain.”

“Damn.” Casey sloshed water on his face. And of course he’d be disappointed. If it weren’t for the flammable chemicals, Casey could load the house full of non-lethal gas to ease their entry. One spark would spell the end of everything.

“Take five then we need to go through it again. We have to clear the front of the house faster and get to those rear rooms where intel said the cook is working.”

The group of men dispersed, some to the bathroom, but most for coolers of sports drinks and their cell phones. Jenna hung back, glancing over her shoulder.

He remained rooted to the spot which was the only reason he didn’t snatch her up and kiss her right there. Somehow, someway, he was more focused and on his game today. As if knowing that she would be in his bed tonight meant he could focus on the operation better. It didn’t make any sense, but whatever.

Alex grabbed a water and tugged at the neck of his shirt to let some air in. There was just enough of a breeze to tease him with the promise of cooling off, but in reality it didn’t do much. He couldn’t wait to get home and take a cold shower. Maybe he could convince Jenna to join him.

“Myers?”

Alex turned, jerking his thoughts back on track. He scrubbed a hand across his face to hide the undeniable heat he felt whenever he glanced at Jenna.
