“I’ll give you toht and won’t come back here from work the next day”

“But Dr Barth had to go out of town He can’t come tomorrow”

Kelly’s gaze shifted toward the door just as a voice behind Trey said, “Mr Wentworth”

He whirled, furious at the interruption

Jason’s on-duty bodyguard stood at the door, shifting frorave expression

“I need a moment, sir”

“What is it?” Trey demanded

“There’s been an unauthorized docking at the marina You and your family need to move into the panic room immediately”

“AND THEY ALL lived happily ever after The end”

Kelly closed the book she’d just read to Jason and glanced down to the kid Eyes closed, breathing regularly, he leaned against her shoulder where they sat on a sofa in a claustrophobic twelve-by-twelve roo to determine if he was asleep

Trey stood at a bank of fourpeople enter and exit the view Tension flowed off hihtly

Kelly itched to be out there with the security team on the hunt She was a cop, for God’s sake But oh, no She was stuck with Trey and Jason, stashed in this vault-like rooave the all-clear

For her own protection? What a bunch of BS This was not hoas supposed to go

Jason e Not asleep, but close

“Come on, Jase,” she whispered, and carried him to the crib in the corner This rooer, but he still fit in the old bed just fine

Trey turned from the monitors

“This is a baby bed,” Jason fussed as she placed him down

“It’s just for fun tonight,” Kelly said

Jason’s lower lip stuck out “How long do we have to stay here?”
