Tess grinned. “He’s changing Melissa’s diaper, and it’s not going by the instructions. She keeps crawling away.”
The women erupted in laughter.
Addy smiled as she glanced at the table with all these lovely women. She missed out on two years of this, and she refused to let it happen again.
CHAPTER 32
“They’re here,”Leo said into the coms. “Team Hawk, SITREP.”
“We’re at the ridge. The dogs have alerted twice. We’re stopped.” Saint replied.
“Shit,” Leo muttered. “Why are their dogs alerting then?”
“Maybe to throw them off,” Saint replied. “None of our new friends came with the unit. They won’t let us lead. We’re in the back. There’s no sign of anyone.”
“Hollywood and Cole, how are the packages?” Leo asked.
“Cool as a cucumber, boss,” Hollywood replied.
“They’re setting up for the ambush. Lag behind them a bit. You don’t want to be on top of them when it goes down,” Leo ordered. “Shadow move into position.”
“We’re moving ETA ten minutes,” Saint reported.
Leo moved into position where he could see his team when they arrived and provide cover for them.
“Stopped again,” Saint informed them.
“Got movement over here. Sergeant Ford poured something on the ground,” Shadow said. “He’s leaving in another vehicle. My guess, he’s hightailing his ass back to the training facility for an alibi when they get the call.”
“Asshole,” Taco growled.
“ETA five minutes,” Saint said tensely.
Leo took a breath and readied himself. He trained this team himself and knew them capable of taking down these assholes. Then why did he feel his gut churning?

Back at the base,Sparky stood up as Ice let out a low growl.
“Ah, they left the blind lady here to guard their stuff,” Hayworth said mockingly. “Do you know you’re pretty?”
“Get out,” she demanded. “You’re not supposed to come in here.”
“What will you do about it?” he asked.
“I’ll kill you,” she said calmly. “Didn’t you come in here to do the same with me?”
Ice shielded her, and she signaled for him to lie down.
“See? We can play nice,” he said, moving to her left.
Sparky kept her head straight, listening to his exact location.
“Who’s we?” she asked.
“Jones, Billings, Sullivan,” he called. “She’s in here. They left her alone.”
“Don’t you want us to sweep the rooms?” Jones asked.
