It’s right there on the street she shocks the living shit out of ht now, she visibly backs down, all because she trusts ht down tomy heart to race for a whole ’nother reason
“Please be safe and get back tofor war andback before she slides into the back seat
I shut the door after her, and I watch the cab fade off in the distance before I take off running to my truck When I reach it, I jump inside and click the map that Alex has sent to ht location
The streets she’s taking ht, but that’s no surprise to me Alex keeps me neatly away from law enforcement
When I reach a fork in the road, my GPS indicates I should take a hard left, and after I do, I discover Alex has broughtnear the sailboats parked by the dock
As I park my truck next to Lee’s Hummer, I force my heartbeat to slow and the adrenaline to quiet with a couple long, deep breaths I exit quickly,to the back of his Hummer, where I see Lee with five other Blackwood team members “Alex toldoffwith my bow tie, into his trunk
He handsholster “The hacker is in that boat there”
Once I strap on the holster, unclick the safety on un, and place it inside, I accept the colance to where he’s pointing and find a motorboat Other than that, most of the area is quiet, except for a few other boats out on the water off in the distance “Any recent movement?”

“Any intel on this location?” I ask, taking the bulletproof vest that Lee’s offering and slipping it overthe Velcro sides
Lee shakes his head, hisin there blind”
I understand his concern We don’t work this way But tiet’s history?”
“No cri in next to Lee, as the four otherin his youth that would lead us to believe he’s dangerous”
Lee adds, “He’s only a year out of high school”
Which confir, and I suppose that explains why Alex didn’t know of hi that code A lesson that after tonight he will learn, and if he tells et a slap on the hand instead of the criminal record the cops would smack down on him
