“Yep, she’s going to lose it.”
Oh, he was aware.
For the last hour, she’d been locked in her office, alone, and they hadNOclue what she was doing. MATE wouldn’t tell them, and they couldn’t access the cameras in there without MATE’S assistance.
She was in locked-down mode for a reason.
Ethan made the decision since this could affect the outcome of this case. That was theONLYreason why they should.
“We tell her. She needs to know.”
Oh, well, how could this go wrong?
Chris took one for the team.
“I’ll go do it. I suggest everyone vacate,” he said. “Go back to the office, and work. I’ll handle it.”
Gene whistled.
“You want to do that alone?” he asked.
Yes, yes, he did.
Why?
Because he knew his wife. He’d been with her longer than anyone else. Yes, they broke up, but they had a decade before Ethan ever came into her life.
They would do it with him if he wanted, but no one was fighting to die on that hill.
“If she needs us,” Callen began, “call. I don’t want her hurting more. What went down with Caspian was rough enough tonight.”
Chris hadn’t been there.
Now, he was curious.
“What happened?” he asked.
They’d planned on telling him, once he was done with Rayna, and out of the locked-down morgue.
So, now was as good a time as ever.
Gene told him.
“He shoved her twice and put his fist through the drywall by her head. It was touch-and-go. She finally had to control the situation, put him in an arm lock, and then locked herself in her office.”
Chris didn’t like that.
Not.
At.
All.
“Oh, Jesus.”
Oh, but that wasn’t all.
“Then, she told us she’ll divorce us if we try to stop her from going withThe Hunters,” Callen stated, finishing up for Gene.
