Steele gri to call you up"

"So what’s going on, boss man?" Dolphin asked "Why did you call us up so quickly? Must be soht?"

Steele turned and ive you the report with the others We don’t have a lot of time"

CHAPTER 6

THEY stepped inside the spacious foyer of Steele’s home, and PJ curiously took in as much as possible as he walked the two steps down into the sunken living rooed and outdoorsy It had the look of a hunting lodge Rustic Soside a trout streae stone fireplace There were several taxidere elk over the fireplace to thethe elk

A bear rug covered the floor in front of the fireplace, and several other ani the backs of the furniture

It looked like a hunter’s paradise And, well, Steele was essentially the biggest badass hunter there was He just happened to hunt ame he hunted

To her surprise, when they entered the living room, Donovan Kelly was seated with Baker and Renshaw on one of the far couches

Van, as he was called by those close to him, ran KGI with his brothers Saer brothers, Ethan, Nathan and Joe, had joined their ranks, but the three older Kellys essentially ran the show

Donovan was the coeek, and while so Neanderthals for brothers and ih PJ had a lot of respect for hiet his point across Plus he was s sexier than a smart man And if he happened to be a coe

"Hey, there they are," Baker called out as he scrambled off the couch

There was aof hands as the team reunited One would think they’d been separated forever instead of just three days But they also knew that in their line of work, there was always the possibility that one of them wouldn’t come back from a mission

It was a reality they lived with, and it ht of having people close to her, this was essentially her fa brothers Well, except for Cole She’d prettyNot that she ever had anyway

Steele and Donovan were both looking at her oddly, and she couldn’t shake the sensation that soht before was on her face for the world to see

Donovan ri to do with any silly self-consciousness she was feeling Donovan wouldn’t be here at all if this weren’t a pretty damn important mission

"Have a seat," Steele told everyone

He and Donovan both re as the others slouched on the couch and in the chairs PJ rab the only available spot left on the couch next to Baker and Renshaw, forcing Cole to take one of the unoccupied armchairs across from the sofa

Steele took a deep breath PJ honed in on his asted her, because he wasn’t the hesitating type Steele was nothing if not to the point

"I apologize for calling all of you up after you were pro"

PJ and the others leaned forward Everyone had gone completely still at his announce to elicit this kind of reaction

Steele turned to Donovan, who stepped forward, his expression one of utter seriousness

"Carter Bruest traffickers of children in the world He likes theht to twelve, and he deals exclusively in females"

The hatred in Donovan’s voice was evident to all, and now it made perfect sense to PJ why he was here and why the teas, Donovan had a soft spot for children Women and children, but particularly kids

He had a hand in every single , exploited or kidnapped

"He’s public eneotten close, but no one has been able to take him down He’s smart, but he’s also lucky and he hasafter him?" Dolphin asked

Steele silenced hi, yes," Donovan said grimly "An opportunity has presented itself that we can’t pass up But in order to get close to hi to have to use unorthodox means"

PJ’s broent up at that

That hen both Steele and Donovan looked directly at her

"Bruht-hand s He likes them toned, small busted Not too small, but not overly endowed"

PJ had the sudden urge to cover her chest with both arms as she stared at theher charms in front of God and everyone

Her lips curled in disgust She was being such a goddauys Not a one of the about each other’s dick size

"He also has a big ot a tip from a prostitute he had an association with that he’s a talker With enough alcohol and encourage"

PJ was starting to get a very bad feeling about this

"Ruirls The specific order is for blondes Eight to ten years old Blue eyes Long hair The buyer was very exacting"

"Jesus," Cole said in disgust
