FROM WHERE HE sat, Frisco could see the light coming from an upstairs window. This window was smaller than the others—it had to be the bathroom.

Mia and Natasha were on the other side of those panes of glass. So close, yet so damn far.

As he watched the infrared scanner, the reddish-orange spots that were the Alpha Squad moved closer to the house. Two who had to be Lucky and Cat moved up onto the house.

The other four—Blue, Bobby, Wes and Cowboy—were motionless now, waiting for Frisco’s command.

Inside the house, according to his scanner, nothing had changed. Dwayne and his men were still in the living room. Mia and Tash were still upstairs.

Mia and Tash.

Both of them had given him unconditional love. Funny, he had no problem accepting it from the kid, but from Mia…

Frisco hadn’t believed it was possible. It still seemed much too good to be true. She was filled with such joy and life while he was the poster model for despair. She had such strength of purpose while he was floundering and uncertain.

He hadn’t told her he loved her. He could have. But instead he’d attacked her, attacked her avocation. He’d pushed her away. Yet still she loved him.

Was it possible that she’d somehow seen the desperate, frightened man that hid beneath the anger and pain of his verbal attack? Thomas had told him she’d done the same with him, making a critical difference in his life, altering his destiny, shaping his future.

Those who are taught, do. Those who teach, shape the future.

Frisco could picture Mia telling him that, her eyes blazing with passion and fire. She believed it so absolutely.

And right then, as Alpha Squad waited for his signal to move into Dwayne Bell’s house, Frisco knew just as absolutely that he wanted a second chance.

His entire life was full of second chances, he realized. Another man might have died from the wounds he’d received. Another man would never have made it out of that wheelchair.

Another man would let Mia Summerton get away.

He thought of that list that she’d posted on his refrigerator—all the things he could still do. There was so much he could still do, although some of it was going to be extremely hard.

Like not being an active-duty SEAL. That was going to be damned hard. But it was going to be damned hard whether he spent the rest of his life drinking in his living room, or if he signed on as an instructor. His disappointment and crushed hopes would be a tough weight to carry, a rough road to walk.

But he was a SEAL. Tough and rough were standard operating procedure. He’d come this far. He could—and he would—make it the rest of the way.

“Okay,” Frisco said into his lip microphone. “The three targets haven’t moved. Let’s get this done. Quietly and quickly, Alpha Squad. Go.”

There was no response over his headset, but he saw the shapes on the infrared scanner begin to move.

Blue clicked once into his lip mike when the downstairs team were all inside.
