Chapter 14

Sam

OUR TRIP TO HAWAII was fantastic. It was romantic, full of stress relief, and filled with warm sun and beautiful views. It was a place I didn’t want to come back from, where all my worries seemed to rot away. From the sex to the crystal-clear waters to the music we danced to, everything had its confined space, and everything seemed perfect.

But now, we were back.

Our week together made everything seem so far away. The ordeal with Jacob. All the high-alert moments and guarding Derek's home. Getting away for the week and being able to unload that stress and allow everything to fade to the back of my mind made everything feel so distant and strange. Coming back to San Francisco was almost an out-of-body experience. Getting back to the role I was supposed to play and the job I was supposed to do proved harder than I initially thought it was going to be.

And that wasn't good.

“Report,” I said.

“Welcome back,” John said. “How was the vacation?”

“Wasn’t a vacation, John. It was a getaway so Derek could get his head back in the game. Now, status report.”

“Things were fine here. No perimeter breaches and no suspicious characters. Same with his company. No trouble. No fires to put out.”

“And no Jacob,” I said.

“Yep. No Jacob.”

“How the hell could he disappear into thin air?” I asked.

“It’s a question that’s been rattling around in my mind once I was able to deal with the fact you weren’t going to tell me where you and Derek went.”

“I had our location locked down,” I said. “The fewer people who knew, the safer he was.”

“I’m your second in command. You can let me know your locations.”

“Not this time, John, not unless it's necessary. You know this. You know why.”

“It was frustrating, that’s all. You didn’t check in often.”

“You’re lucky I checked in at all. We were in an area with sparse communication signals,” I said.

“At any rate, it was annoying. Had you needed backup or had something happened, more information than necessary would’ve needed to have been communicated. There were too many risks with that decision, especially since you went alone.”

“I understand your concerns, and I have logged them. Now, have we gotten anywhere with Jacob’s accounts?”

“No activity on his company card, and his other assets are frozen. The man can’t make a move, so it's doubtful he’ll do much. Plus, he’s got half the world looking for him right now. If he pops up anywhere, we’ll know about it.”

“I don’t get it. How does he pop up with a gun, try to shoot Derek, and then disappear off the face of the planet?”

“Derek?” he asked.

“Mr. Steele has a first name, yes.”

“So, you’re on a first name basis with our client,” he said.

“Doesn’t that usually happen when we take a long-term job like this?” I asked.

“It does. It’s just that when that happens, I can usually expect the man to try and make a move on you. Want me to give him a rundown of how this works?”

“Not necessary.
