Jay handed her a set of keys as he pal in his hand "It’s about damn time you moved in here Wyatt’s been a bear to work for this pastto help "You didn’t even wanthim" Well, she didn’t know it for certain, but he’d definitely been wary after they’d gotten etic as they strode toward the line of six SUVs currently being guarded by another Red Stone e to plant boht you tere but I wasn’t sure what your end gaet in touch with you I knew things were serious for hio?" She had no clue what he was talking about

Jay looked at her then, his green eyes suddenly going blank He pressed the keyfob, unlocking the closest vehicle "I’ll follow you, but I knohere you live so if we get separated I’ll just iven her "Are you serious? You’re just going to ignore ed and headed toward his SUV By the set line of his jaw she kneouldn’t be talking right now, but she planned to get it out of hio Sure, they’d been friends and their coht around then, but she’d never been out of contact Maybe he wasvery specific and she would find out what it was

As she started to slide into the driver’s seat, the sound of screeching tires had her ju her weapon from her ankle holster

Jay was out and by her side in seconds, his own custom-made SIG drawn "Shit," he muttered

"What?" A dark blue extended cab truck was pulling down the drive

"That’s Keibler Wyatt said to let hiates I just heard it on the radio" He tapped his earpiece

Clearly Jay was still staying on top of things even if it was his day off "Wyatt is letting hi Jay wasn’t ?" It wasn’t a question so uys at the gate at least check him for weapons? Check his vehicle?" All the hairs on the back of her neck stood up She knew she couldn’t stay objective on the protective tea to stand back and be co her earpiece back and at least staying informed

"Yes to all of the above" Jay looked just as pissed as her, which made her feel better This was a stupid move on Wyatt’s part He didn’t need to be anywhere near Keibler until they figured things out

"Where’s Wyatt?" She asked

"Still on a phone conference call He wants Keibler to wait out here" Jay’s voice was tight

She kept her weapon out as Keibler parked a few feet away fro toward the vehicle, spreading out as they walked One of the guards fro the vehicle Everyone had weapons drawn too She had to rein in her anger as she spoke to Jay because it wasn’t directed at hio have a ith Wyatt?" Okay, she was barely checking her annoyance through her gritted teeth She wasn’t part of the tea way

He nodded "Yeah Keep his ass inside"

Relief punched through her that Jay was as angry as her What the hell could Wyatt possibly be thinking? Sheathing her gun once she reached the front door, she barely refrained fro it as she hurried across the h research on hiauilty as far as the laas concerned, but he had to be involved in the attempts on Wyatt’s life The man’s date had tried to poison Wyatt

As Iris turned at the end of the first hall, a new rush of annoyance popped inside her when she saw Wyatt striding toward her "Why are letting that man on your property?" she practically shouted, her voice echoing

Still wearing the same pants and shirt from earlier, he looked darkly handso He looked tense as he stopped in front of her, but his expression was soft "Iris, he’s here because--"

They both froze as so and a sonic boo out of control, she sprinted back the way she’d coht next to her She’d heard her fair share of gunfire and bombs before, but there was no way that hat she’d just heard
