“Yep. Molly has it under control. I’m just assisting with the phone.”

Burke chuckled. “Let’s keep it that way. No playing the hero.”

Gabe wasn’t promising anything. “I’ll talk to you soon.”

Molly shot him a knowing glance before returning her gaze to the road. “You planning something, Gabe?”

“Only if I have to. I’m not bad with a handgun. Like I said, I went to the target range with my dad a lot.”

She was quiet for a long moment, then said softly, “There’s a pistol in a lockbox in the console. Combo is four, three and two together, then one. It’s a Glock, unloaded. Full magazine is in the glove box. Better be ready in case you have to defend yourself. But unless everything goes to shit and someone takes me out, you let me lead. Okay?”

He did not like the thought of anyone taking her out. “Okay.”

She frowned. “Promise me.”

He hesitated. “I promise.” To keep you safe if we come to that point.
