SHE HAD TO be here.

Cash blinked to keep himself conscious, but he was losing the battle faster than he expected. He couldn’t recall the turns he’d already taken or how long ago Tiny had finally collapsed. There were too many hallways, and he was on his own, but he wouldn’t stop. Not until he put Bear and Elena in his sights.

His shoulder made contact with the nearest wall. He took a second to clear his head, but the only image his brain could come up with was of Elena. Of her passed out in the back of his SUV, then the horror on her face as he told her she’d mistaken Bear’s allergy meds for an Oreo. Of her smile and the way it’d tunneled past his guard as he’d invited her into his personal space. A space he hadn’t let anyone else—not even his team—step foot in.

Hell, she’d taken on a fight no one had ever won. Just imagining the trouble she was giving her ex and the soldiers in this very building was enough to make him shove away from the wall and keep going. Elena Navarro was everything he’d tried avoiding over the past year and the one person who could drive him to keep going. She challenged him in ways that messed with his head but strengthened his moral code. The kind of woman who protected those she cared about, who stood alone against an army determined to tear her to pieces for the chance to do the right thing. Who carried everyone around her with her strength. Because that was how she quietly survived. That was how she kept moving forward. And he needed a healthy dose of that strength now.

Pain arced through his back as he pushed along the corridor. His right leg dragged behind him. He was getting close. He could feel it, and with two more turns through the maze, he froze.

Barking.

Incessant. Distant. Undeniably familiar. Bear.

“I’m coming, little lady. Keep it up.” Cash picked up the pace. For as much pressure squeezed the oxygen from his lungs at the thought of putting off finding Elena, he wasn’t going anywhere without his dog. Bear had been there. Suffered at his side after the explosion that got her kicked out of the DEA. Even temporarily blind and through the painful nights following her injury, she’d refused to leave his side. Because she’d known. She’d known his loss. She’d felt it herself when they’d recovered Wade’s body miles from the raid site where he’d died. The Colombian cartel had done a good job of making his brother unrecognizable, but he and Bear had known the moment they’d seen him. The whine of a K-9 that’d lost her handler would stay with him for the rest of his life. He wouldn’t put her through that again. He wasn’t walking away.

An alarm sounded overhead.

Piercing agony ripped through his head in a swirl of red lights and sirens.

Covering his ears, he made out heavy footfalls coming down the corridor.
