She would need to let him know that Kam didn't kidnap her. He had saved her. They all had in some way. That realization made her heart squeeze. It wasn't because she couldn't take care of herself. She just wasn't worth all of these heroics.
When she and Davin chased after Paul when he went dark, that was different. She was trying to save a fellow agent. A friend. Someone who was teaching her more about God.
Maybe they were just doing the same. An obligation of duty to a fellow agent. She wouldn't know why else they'd chase after assassins for her. She wasn't sure when she'd see those two again. She'd only pray that they sorted out the whole mess she found herself in before she was sent to jail. Or the next assassin was successful.
She settled back in her seat. It was time to make a plan. Get her life back. "Where exactly are we going?"
Kam could sensethat Taylor was struggling. She wore her emotions on her face, whether she knew it or not.
He reached over and squeezed her hand. "Davin and Paul kept you safe. We'll figure this out."
She ripped her hand from his. "No. They will figure out who framed me and I…"
"You what?"
"Stay alive."
She stared out the window. She may wear her emotions, but he wished that he could hear the thoughts buzzing through her head.
"Where are we going, Kam?" She turned toward him.
"Some place safe."
"I was already at a safe house."
"It wasn't safe enough." Kam squeezed the steering wheel.
She stiffened. "Do you think there was someone who leaked where I was?"
Kam shrugged one shoulder. "Or someone hacked into your system."
Taylor snorted. "I'm not saying it's impossible, but finding a meadow of only four-leaf clovers would be easier than hacking our system."
Kam smirked. "Sounds impressive."
"It is. I should know. I helped build it." She crossed her arms and leaned against her door so that she could face him.
He knew that she was good with computers, but she might have also gained more than defensive moves over the last three years.
"When we get there, you'll have to ask him how he did it then."
"What? Someone hacked the FBI? Someone you told to do it?" Each question got louder and higher-pitched.
"Relax. He is one of the good guys." Kam glanced her way. "Let's just say he works for the government."
"You know if you want me to trust you, you're going to have to stop giving me vague answers."
"It's hard to tell you everything given the oath you swore as an FBI agent."
He didn't mean the words to sound angry. He was proud of who she had become. She was tough and strong and determined.
"Well, you're in luck. They suspended me until the investigation is over."
Kam drew his brows together. "I thought Schulz got them to reconsider."
Taylor tilted her head. "He did, but Hollands still filed the report saying I was suspended. They were hoping this would keep whoever was framing me satisfied until they could figure it out."
She leaned in, arms uncrossed, eyes steady. A pause hung in the air. Then she sat back, like she’d heard enough without a word spoken.
