Chapter Twelve

Though Summer had promised herself she wouldn’t compromise Mike by giving him information he shouldn’t be privy to, she had done exactly that. But the DTRA and Kevin were doing little to help Joe, and she needed answers and she needed them fast. As far as she could tell, she would only get them by bringing Mike into her inner circle. Sure, she could potentially lose her job if they found out she had divulged government secrets, but right now she trusted Mike far more than anyone else.

No one cared about Joe as much as they did. No one would fight as hard as they would. Kevin had proved just that by blowing her off and telling her to just sit still when her son’s life was at stake. If he found out about what she’d told Mike, he only had himself to blame.

She pulled her car to a stop about a half a block from their first suspect’s house. The man was nowhere to be seen, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t inside with Joe, holed up like the criminal he potentially was while he waited for the ransom demands to be delivered. Well, he could keep waiting; she was done playing Rockwood’s games. Right now, she was the one in control, hunting down the people who wished her and her loved ones harm.

This was her game now.

She glanced over at Mike; he looked at odds with everything. She didn’t blame him.

He’d always had the power to bring her back to reality and make her feel like she was nineteen years old and completely adrift. Had she told him too much? Was he thinking she was a security liability to him? Was he thinking she was untrustworthy? Had she made a mistake in telling him anything?

Damn, she needed to get out of her head. But ever since she had dropped the info bomb, Mike had been silent. No doubt, he was thinking about all the things she’d said, piecing it all together with whatever his group already knew. He was also probably thinking about how he was going to tell Zoey and his teams at STEALTH about this newly acquired information.

She didn’t want him to go to them with the details, but at the same time, she was almost sure it would be exactly what he would do.

“The nanotech they are working on right now at ConFlux is called Mayfly.” She felt bad feeding him a fake code name, but if she heard it from another outside source, she would know if Mike and the STEALTH team used it.

Here was hoping she never heard the code name Mayfly again.

She hadn’t wanted to bring Mike in this deep, but the people who had taken Joe had struck low and had left her with no other cards to play. She’d had to call him in; he was one of the only people she knew she could trust. At least with him, she could understand his motives and his driving forces. Understanding those meant she also understood his weaknesses—and his strengths.
