CHAPTER ELEVEN

Eli kissed Ava goodbye, handing her the keys to the rental.

“What’s this?”

“I’m having a rental brought for me to use. I thought about it, and I realized that you’d need something to drive while I’m off working.”

“I don’t think I need to go anywhere,” she said.

“Trust me. You don’t want to be stuck out here without a way to get into town.” He produced a map printed on a computer paper, complete with little icons. “If you go this way, there are tons of little restaurants and your typical chains without all the Dallas traffic. The closest grocery store is over here.” He circled it. “And the nearest hospital is here.”

“Why would I need a hospital?”

“You won’t, because we’re prepared. Cell service here is sketchy, so I have a landline in your office and in the kitchen. The address is nearby both phones in case you need it.” He handed her a credit card. “It’s not in your name, but it’s a company card, and you’re an authorized user. Anything you need, don’t hesitate.”

“Even if it’s paying Uber Eats an arm and a leg to bring a pregnant woman her latest craving?”

“They’ll do anything for the right price,” he said, laughing. “I have a card coming in your name, but it probably won’t be here until Monday.”

There was a short honk outside. Eli looked over his shoulder and back at Ava.

“I’ll be fine,” Ava assured him. “I’m sure I’ll just spend the day working and resting up from yesterday. I still have clothes to hang.”

Eli slipped his finger under the strap of her dress and smiled. “It was worth it. You look amazing.”

“I feel amazing. And these shoes are crazy comfortable. I’m glad you talked me into it.”

He pulled her into his arms as the horn sounded again. “I hope to talk you into a lot more when I get home tonight,” he said, kissing her quickly, then hurrying out the door.

He waved as he got into the passenger seat, then closed the door and settled in. “You’re a little impatient this morning, Gideon,” Eli said.

“How did you explain who was picking you up?”

“Rental car company so I could leave her the Q3.”

Gideon smiled. “Smooth.”

“It was,” he said. “If you’ll drop me off at the rental place on Conveyor, I’ll grab the car I reserved and meet you at the office.”

“Sounds good, Boss,” Gideon said, his Jersey accent barely noticeable. “The background checks on everyone at the firm are in the glovebox there. Everyone comes back clean, even McBride. Their IT guy is the only one I’m worried about.”

“Were you able to get the details of his service?”

“No. That’s why I’m worried. Matt Lewis is a ghost, which only means one thing. How a man like that ended up working IT for McBride industries is beyond me.”

“Everyone needs a job when they get out of the military. Elite Forces is no different.” He cleared his throat, going through the background checks while Gideon drove. His eyes were still on the reports when he decided to lay his cards on the table.
