CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Hazel brushed back her hair and tied it up into her signature ponytail. The hair below was nearly to her shoulders now. It looked strange when she saw it in the mirror, but it was to the point where she could pull it all up into an elastic. With Tiger gone, she’d had a chance to gather some new clothes and arrange the spare bedroom closet for herself. She’d be sleeping with him, but she needed some closet space all her own.

With the cool breezes of fall coming at her, she stepped out onto the porch with a sweater and wrapped it around her shoulders. Waving at Lena and Kelsey as they headed to the early shift at the clinic, she spotted Wade and Sam and ran to catch up with them.

“Good morning,” she called.

“Morning, Hazel,” smiled Wade, turning to greet his brother’s girl. “Is my brother behaving himself, or do I need to kick his ass?”

“Well,” she laughed, “if he were still injured, I’m quite sure you could kick his ass right now, but fully healed, I’ll call it a tie. But, no. He’s being a perfect gentleman. Actually, he’s wonderful, Wade. I’m not afraid to tell you that I think I love him.”

“I’m glad to hear that, Hazel, because I think my brother loves you as well.” Hazel blushed as two more teammates joined them. She knew Jalen, but the other man she’d never met.

“Hazel, this is Milo Abbott. Milo was on my team with Garrett. They’re all at the mansion house now,” said Sam.

“It’s nice to meet you, Milo.”

“Same,” he nodded.

“I was headed for breakfast. Anyone joining me?” she smiled.

The group fell in line, following the delicious smells of breakfast coming from the cafeteria. With plates full, they joined other team members to enjoy the morning meal.

“Any word from Tiger?” asked Milo.

“No, nothing yet. They should be back today or tomorrow,” said Hazel. Her phone rang, and she frowned at the number, looking up at the others. “It’s Freebird. Hello?”

“Hazel? It’s Howie Adams from Freebird. We need to talk.” Hazel stared at the table and placed the call on speaker as Sam silenced the cafeteria.

“What is it we need to talk about? I sent my things back that belonged to you. I have nothing else of yours.”

“Just meet with us, Hazel. You may have seen some things on that last mission that could be valuable to us,” said Adams.

“Valuable? Your intel was for shit. You sent me on a mission with no end in mind. My contact didn’t show. There was nothing for me to find or do there. I never found whatever it was you sent me there for because there wasn’t anything,” she said.

“No, you found something far more valuable than an item or an asset,” he commented. Hazel froze. He knew. He knew that she had found Tiger.

“I didn’t find anything except an American who was in trouble. As an American, you’ll have to forgive me, but that bothered me. As a Marine, it fucking annoyed the shit out of me,” she said calmly.
