By the time they reached Djibouti, Miranda was more than ready for a hot shower and some decent sleep. She’d tried to nap on the trip, and there had been plenty of seats to stretch out and do so, but it hadn’t been easy with the whine of the engines and the utter lack of heat. Flying in a military plane wasn’t like flying commercial. The temperature control was practically nonexistent, though they claimed to have heat. The blanket she’d been given hadn’t been enough to warm her up, and she’d spent much of each flight shivering.

And now she was hot. Djibouti wasn’t exactly an alpine nation. With average daily temperatures between ninety and 106, this place was smoking. The terrain was flat, dusty and dirty and rocky, and the base was a combination of military tan, dirty white, and stacks of what looked like shipping containers but were really barracks or Containerized Housing Units. The base shared a runway with the Djibouti airport, so at least the trip wasn’t far from landing to lodging.

They weren’t taken to the CHUs though. They were taken to a special compound much like the HOT headquarters back in DC where they had to pass through layers of security. Though not as sophisticated a facility, it was still heavily guarded. Lucky sidled up beside her as they walked down a hallway and told her this was a HOT facility. Then she smiled reassuringly and Miranda smiled in return.

She wasn’t scared, but she wouldn’t turn down a gesture of friendliness from one of the women on this mission. She wondered about the other woman’s scars, but she knew better than to ask.

“Have you been here before?”

“Once or twice.”

“I didn’t realize we had women in Special Ops.”

Lucky shrugged. “Not enough of us, that’s for sure.” She stopped at a door and opened it. “This is us in here.”

Miranda stepped into the small room. There were four bunks inside, a light, and a table. To say it didn’t even compare to the worst budget hotel in America was probably an understatement.

Lucky slung her bag to the floor and sat down on one of the mattresses. “Jesus, I’m so tired I could sleep in my clothes. Hell, I just might.”

Miranda set her bag down. “Is it just us in here?”

Lucky opened an eye. “Victoria will be here as soon as she finishes copping a feel of her husband.”

Miranda blinked. “Husband? She’s on a mission with her husband?”

She thought of the big dude sitting next to Victoria in the briefing and the way he’d squeezed her leg.

Lucky laughed. “We both are. Victoria’s married to Nick Brandon, Alpha Squad’s sniper. Kev MacDonald is my husband. Also Alpha Squad,” she added. “Kev’s the second-in-command.”

“And you and Victoria are Alpha Squad too?”

“We’re freelancers, so to speak. We go when needed.”

“Isn’t that a little difficult? Working with your spouse, I mean?”

“Sometimes. Mostly we just do our jobs.”

The door opened and Victoria walked in, looking as cool as a cucumber even in this heat. Miranda wondered how she did it.
