Chapter Twelve

Twenty-two hundred hours arrived. However, their planned excursion didn’t happen as scheduled.

It seemed treacherous Frederick had left them another surprise in the form of sand in the gas tanks of the vehicles available to them. It took the fuel filters on a few of the vehicles they first started to clue them in. The sergeant called a temporary hold on leaving while they dumped the contaminated gas in the tampered vehicles.

Since this process took time, it meant they got a few hours of sleep. Or, in Travis’ case, restless tossing and turning as he relived the kiss with Jess.

He’d expected some level of fireworks. No man could lust after a woman as long as he had and not want to combust. Yet, he could have never truly expected the raging inferno that consumed him.

Every sense ignited as soon as their lips touched. She enthralled him so deeply he almost turned into a wild bear when their kiss was rudely interrupted.

Wouldn’t that have gone over well, him chasing after the human private as a grizzly, all because he’d finally gotten somewhere with Jess.

One step forward.

A half-dozen back.

It didn’t take a genius to guess she probably regretted it already. Never mind she’d enjoyed it. He knew she’d find an excuse to deny what they shared. What was meant to be.

Didn’t she yet grasp and understand that she meant everything to him, which was why it was driving him nuts that she insisted on coming. Bad enough that Boris and Brody appeared a little green around the gills still, but their determination wouldn’t let them back down. Gene was in fine form today, if his enthusiastic scowl was anything to go by. The sergeant didn’t seem affected at all. Then again, sunglasses could hide a lot.

As for Jess, the circles under her eyes spoke of a sleepless night. Caused by her worry over this mission and who they chased, or dare he hope that he played a small part in her mental turmoil?

As they clambered into the various Jeeps, their rugged four-by-four capability a must for the terrain they would have to travel through, he ensured they shared a seat.

Jess didn’t say a word, didn’t glance at him once, but she did allow her thigh to rest alongside his. Given the seat provided more than ample space for them both, he took it as a sign.

The miniature convoy of three headed out, waved through the security checkpoint by guards toting rifles.

The sun blazed down on the vehicles, hot and merciless. Despite the helmets and visors they wore, the wind from the open-top vehicle barreled in. The hot air held hints of dust, a fine grit that settled on everything. It tasted especially vile on the tongue, especially when washed down with a sip of tepid water.

The landscape proved different, much different than Alaska. The dry heat and lack of greenery bothered his bear. It grumbled, ill at ease in this strange land. At home, for all that the older guys ribbed him, Travis felt confident, in charge.
