Holy hell. Casper? Wade had been Roxanne Bowman's father's best friend. All this time he'd been helping them. Roxanne had never said anything about Wade being Casper. Even after Roxanne and Hawk married. Maybe she didn't know. But, now that Addy knew, she had to tell Tate. He could tell his dad, Gaige. That would likely create a silence in the building like they had in this vehicle now. What did you say to something like that?

"I'd appreciate it if you'd say something." His deep voice broke the silence.

She turned to face him again. "I'm speechless I guess. We never tried to find out who Casper was. It didn't matter and we felt he had a reason for staying hidden. He's always been good to our firm and each of us. I'm shocked to hear this. And, now you're going to be the new Casper? Why are you telling me that?"

"Wade wanted it out in the open with all of you. Since his family has now been threatened, he's worried our silence will get some of us hurt or killed. And his identity was hidden for all these years because his job at the DoD would be compromised. I’m sure the DoD wouldn’t appreciate knowing the Secretary of Defense hired special operatives to do the work the DoD should be doing. There are rules and laws. All of which have been broken."

She swallowed the enormous lump in her throat. "Do you want this? To be Casper? It's against the policy of your job, isn't it?"

"But it's for the greater good. What you all do, is what the military and police can't do, because of some of the stupidest regulations and laws. There shouldn't be a gap between the two entities and yet there is. Good people get caught in that gap. It's against Wade's moral compass to let them perish because of it. That's why he got involved in the first place. Before GHOST he had another group who ceased to exist about a year after GHOST was formed. He...We need you. You need us. And the people caught in the middle need both of us."

Addy sat back and digested this explanation. He was right, of course. The people caught in the middle needed someone to help them.

"I agree."

She blew out a breath as Rafe turned the SUV onto the street behind the Bowman home. She pulled her phone up and texted Catalina to notify her they were coming home. After what she'd been through earlier, surprises weren't likely welcome.

As they approached the garage behind the home, the door began to open and Addy smiled. Catalina.

Rafe pulled the SUV into the garage next to his vehicle. She saw him grimace after looking at his vehicle and she chuckled. "It's all good now."

He shook his head. "It's not good. I'm happy it's rectified, but good is not how I'd describe it."

She shrugged. "Suit yourself. There was no way you could have known about the tracker or the app. We've neutralized both of them and now we move on.
