“X trusts Grant with this operation, and he trusted him in the field. Grant is a damn good strategist.”
Rogue nodded. “I might not have been in the marines with them, but I know that’s true.”
“Your brother’s already had plenty of chances to impress me. If you think he needs to know, why didn’t you tell him already?”
“Because that’s for you to do.”
“Me? The guy you hate, a killer of innocents?”
“I never said you killed anyone innocent.”
“I haven’t, but Franco sure as hell has.”
“Then we need to bring him down.”
TJ shook his head. “There’s no ‘we’ in this.”
“Yes, there is,” Rogue said. “You’re here, you’re under our protection, and you’re in danger; therefore, it’s also our problem, and X is ultimately responsible for this place, so if you’re working with him, you’re working with us.”
I stepped over to the window, looked out, then glanced at Rogue.
“Grant and Jacob just pulled up,” he said. “There’s no time like the present.”
TJ glanced between the two of us. “Sometimes I don’t know what to think about the two of you and your psychic communication.”
“I think you know damn well what to think about my brother,” Rogue said. “But I don’t need the details.”
I glared at him. “That’s cute coming from you. How many of your hookups have you described to me in full detail?”
“I was younger then, and I thought you needed an education.”
“Stay out of my personal business.”
“I will unless you get on my nerves, then I’ll go find TJ and get him to tell me your secrets.” He winked at TJ and turned to leave.
I knew what Rogue really meant, but all I could think was how there was one secret TJ definitely didn’t know and neither did Rogue. I could only hope he never found out.
TJ started to follow Rogue then froze. “Fuck, I’ve got to get dressed.”
“Just don’t waste time.”
He saluted me. “Sure thing, marine.”
“Or,” Rogue said, giving him a once-over, “you could just come like that. It wouldn’t bother me.”
I was going to kill my brother. “Get out.” I pushed him toward the door.
TJ just smiled. “That is an idea.”
“No, it’s absolutely not.”
He winked at me. “You hate admitting how kinky you are.”
“I heard that,” Rogue said, reappearing in the doorway.
