ASHTON LAY still for hours, holding Ben as he listened for trouble, expecting it to come knocking at any moment. It didn’t help that his leg ached something terrible. Eventually he got up and pulled on boxers and a T-shirt so he didn’t flash everyone, and took a painkiller. A few of the pups wandered out behind him, and Ashton gave each of them a scratch, let them out the front door for a fast pee, and then followed the glow of a computer screen to the kitchen table.

“See anything?” Ashton scratched his head and yawned.

“It’s been quiet.” Guy lifted his gaze with a sigh. “We have the ranch buttoned up, but this is only half the job. We need to know what’s going on in town, if anyone is hanging around. I could bring in someone to do that, but they would be a stranger, and no one is going to tell them anything. Heck, whoever we brought in could raise suspicions themselves.”

Ashton sighed and nodded. Guy was right. He could hole up on the ranch as long as he wanted, but if the threat was going to come from outside, he needed to have ears there too. “Let me think on it and we can talk about it tomorrow. Where is Reg?”

“The rest of the team is sleeping. I’ll sit up as long as I can and then wake one of them in a few hours. We all need to sleep while we can so we don’t get worn out.” Guy stood and poured a mug of coffee from the pot. It must have been the last, because he started making a fresh pot. “You may as well try to sleep too.”

Ashton nodded. “I keep wondering if all of this is for nothing. We have this place locked down tight. But what if they come at us differently… or leave us sitting here watching our backs while they do nothing at all.” Henderson had to know by now that he wasn’t going to get what he wanted. Of course, after their talk, he could get more desperate….

“Get some rest when you can, and thanks,” Ashton said to Guy, then patted Clay, one of the recently arrived surveillance officers, on the shoulder as he walked by him on the way to the bedroom.

“Brown-noser,” their compatriot Lisa said as she scrunched her nose and bumped his shoulder.

“When you’re the best,” he retorted, puffing out his skinny chest.

Lisa shook her head. “If you’re going to preen, at least have something to preen with.” She rolled her eyes but didn’t look away. Those two sometimes bickered like an old married couple.
