Chapter Five

Dag ran his hand through his hair. He was tired but knew that was how he was going to feel for the next few weeks…until the navy brought in a replacement and that person was brought up to speed with operations. Dag would work himself to the bone if it meant making sure the SEALs he was ultimately responsible for were safe.

His thoughts turned to Brenae. Once again grateful that she never complained when he had to put work before her. Never got bitter when he missed important anniversaries. Never blamed him when things didn’t go as they’d planned…curtesy of the US Navy. She just kept on keeping on. It was one of the million and one things he loved about her.

Lately, a hell of a lot hadn’t gone as they’d planned, the least of which was their dream house not being completed on time and them having to move into an apartment for a few months. In the scope of life, it wasn’t a huge deal, but he knew how much Brenae had been looking forward to moving into the house they’d designed together.

He was lost in thought about what he could to do surprise her, when Dag’s office door flew open. The door cracked against the wall behind it, and Dag was up with a knife in his hand before he’d even thought about what he was doing.

Standing there was Blake Wise…known as Rocco to his friends and teammates. “Sir! Have you heard from your wife in the last fifteen minutes?”

Shocked at the interruption and confused at the question, Dag said, “No. Why?”

“Shit! There’s a hostage situation at our apartment complex. I haven’t been able to get ahold of Caite. Her phone just rings before going to voicemail.”

Dag immediately pulled out his cell phone and clicked on Brenae’s name. He stood tensely as it began to ring, and then went to her voicemail. Usually hearing her recorded voice message soothed him, but today he impatiently waited for the beep then said, “It’s me. Call the second you get this message.”

“Sit-rep,” he barked at Rocco as he walked toward him, grabbing his keys on the way.

Turning, Rocco headed out of the office and the two men strode down the hall toward the stairwell, side by side at a fast clip.

“One of my neighbors called and told me that SWAT and San Diego PD were headed for the apartment complex. They were being told to shelter in place inside their apartments and not to let anyone inside until the cops showed up. He was watching out his window and saw the unit being surrounded. I called a contact I know in the PD and he said there was a report of a hostage situation near the lobby.”

Dag’s heart almost stopped beating. He had no reason to think his Brenae was involved, but the hair on the back of his neck was standing straight up, a sure sign something wasn’t right.

Without another word, the two men burst out of the building on the naval base and jogged toward Dag’s Land Rover.
