Order?I think sometimes he forgets he’s not my commander.

“Yesss…?”

Where’s he going with this?

“Scratch that. Tomorrow morning at seven a.m., unless we have a breakthrough and find something we need to pursue, you’ll get your first lesson in how to handle a gun.”

I stifle a squeal. I’ve wanted to learn how to shoot a gun forever but haven’t taken the time to do it.

“You have a trainer?”

He frowns, those glacial eyes glancing my way before he looks back to the road. “Yeah.”

Joe chuckles softly. Is this an inside joke or something?

“Did you find anything before all this happened?” Cain asks, and his eyes meet mine in the rearview mirror. Something like camaraderie flashes between us, so quickly I wonder if it’s my imagination.

He doesn’t like that I was alone in the apartment and attacked. He wishes he was there.

Why does it excite me to imagine what would’ve happened if he was?

I should be appalled that he shot a man today. Without remorse. Without hesitation.

I’m not, though. In fact, quite the opposite.

It’s the single most attractive thing he’s done since I’ve met him. He’s the man who could help me, and will.

What on earth does a guy like him find attractive about a girl like me?What?

Maybe I need to play into this. Maybe, if he were attracted to me…

No.

No, no, no.I’ve gotten this far without whoring myself out, and I won’t start now.

Something tells me he’d make it worth my while…

“You mean, did I do any research? Damn right I did, and I have a list of leads we need to pursue as soon as possible. Has anyone contacted you about your sister?”

“No.”

“Have you checked all your social media accounts and email and phone number?”

Again, the flash of stunning blue in the mirror. “Check my social media?”

“Do you… have social media?”

“No.”

“Well, that makes things simpler.”

I look out the window and Joe chuckles again, so softly I barely hear him, but the sound is unmistakable. What’s so funny?

“When we get back, you’ll see the doctor and we’ll make sure you meet with my team. We’ll combine what we’ve found so far.” He glances in his rearview mirror again, but he doesn't look at me this time.

“Someone following us?”

A long gaze in the mirror again, and he finally shakes his head. “No.”
