Logan looked behind him. Although he couldn’t see much through the snow, he didn’t notice any headlights. Where was HRT? They should be right behind them. Why did it have to snow today? For crying out loud, it was March. Where was spring?
He slowed down so he wouldn’t miss his turnoff. His GPS showed it was just ahead. He couldn’t see a sign, but he trusted what he saw on the screen and turned. Sure enough, he was soon driving slowly through Woodbridge, and thankfully, the industrial area was on this side of town. With Monty directing him, it didn’t take long to find the empty warehouses.
He pulled over, trying not to get too close to the final building. “How are we supposed to see anything in this storm?” he asked.
“Well, it’s kind of a blessing, isn’t it?” Monty asked. “Because he can’t see us either.”
Logan looked over at him. “You’re right. Sorry. I’m just—” He started to say frustrated, but he decided to be honest. “Frightened.”
“I am too,” Noah said.
“We all are,” Bethany said. “That doesn’t mean we’re not skilled agents. It just means we’re also human. And that’s okay.”
Logan was moved by what she’d said, but he forced himself to concentrate on what they needed to do next. “I’m going to back up and park around the corner. That should keep the car hidden. Noah, why don’t you and I scout things out? The rest of you just stay in the car. If we need you, I’ll send Monty a text. If it says nine-one-one, it means I want you to join us. If I text the letter H, it means get out of here. Get backup. The police are on the row of buildings behind us.”
“Leave without you?” Bethany said. “We can’t do that.”
“You can and you will. I’m in charge. You’ll do what I tell you to do.”
No one said anything. Logan knew their instinct was to come to his and Noah’s aid if they needed help, but he didn’t want them walking into a trap. He took his phone from Monty and quickly texted Chief Barfield to let him know they were here.
“You ready?” he asked Noah.
“Let’s go. I want to get this guy. And I want him to pay.”
Logan should have told him to check his attitude and concentrate on securing their agents, but he couldn’t. He felt exactly the same way.
