“Um…so is looking at her in the shower.”

“She’s in the shower?” I lifted the binoculars and zoomed in, but I couldn’t see anything since she was behind closed doors.

“FNG, you take the back. I’ll take the front,” Rae ordered.

“We’re not doing this,” I argued.

Rae got up, running through the brush. I chased after her and FNG, knowing I had to stop them. This was going too far. A minivan was parked not even a quarter mile from the house.

“You took the company vehicle?”

“My husband does the work on them. Do you know how easy it was to sneak this bad boy out?”

“You got Duke involved?”

She cocked her head at me. “I never said I got him involved.”

“You stole it? Rae?—”

“Relax. I thought you stalked people for a living.”

“I don’t stalk people,” I argued as she tossed a pack at me. I caught it, dropping it to the ground. “That was one time. She was my ex-wife!”

“Not according to Fox,” she grinned.

“Oh, we’re listening to Fox now?”

“Hey! I got it!”

I spun around, shaking my head at what I was seeing. Fox was dressed from head to toe in camo, carrying a bag of bright yellow Funyuns. “What are you doing?”

“Stalking your woman. Isn’t that what we’re all doing here?” he asked in confusion.

“No,” I said, stomping forward and snatching the bag out of his hands. “We’re not stalking anyone!”

“Really? But Rae said?—”

“Hey, don’t put this on me. I may have mentioned what was going on. That didn’t mean you should all follow me up here.”

Fox shot her a funny look. “You said, Fox, you should come with me. Nick is gonna stalk this lady. And I did.”

I slowly turned and faced Rae. “Why are you doing this to me?”

“Doing what?”

“You know what,” I said angrily.

“Oh! You mean Fox,” she grinned. “Yeah, I thought it would be good for you. A bonding moment. You haven’t really had a chance to get reacquainted since you joined the company.”

“There’s a reason for that,” I muttered.

“Anyway, we came prepared. We’ll know everything about her in a very short time.”

I grabbed the bag she was holding and tossed it on the ground. “I don’t want to find out everything about her. At least, not like this.”

FNG snorted. “Oh, man. He’s in love with her!”

“How can I be in love with her? I don’t know her,” I retorted.
