"I tagged her. It'll ping the satellite wherever the fuck they are."
“Are you sure that shit will work?"
"A hundred percent,” he said. “I may have fucked up here, but with that tech, I don't think they’re capable of disappearing completely. We'll get her back."
I frowned at him. "Iwill get her back. You just stay out of my way."
Rook laughed. "Oi, mate, I see how you look at her. Especially her arse. I must say it's a very nice arse. I also noticed how quick you were to jump in and offer to be her fiancé for cover. I see what you're doing. And she's smart, she'll see it too."
"Shut your shitty face."
"What, are you going to make me?"
"I mean it. Shut your pie hole. You don't know a single bloody thing."
"I think I do. You want her. But here's the thing; she’s alsochecking me out. She likes what she sees. And there's not a damn thing I can do about that if she decides she likes me better than you."
What I wanted to do was lunge at him, put my hands around his neck and squeeze. It was his fault that she was gone. Except, why didn't she just call me when she was planning something?
As we pulled up to the hangar, he whistled low. "I found them."
"Where the fuck are they?"
"Croatia."
I frowned. "What the fuck is she doing in Croatia? Did someone take her?"
Rook shook his head. "No. I went over every piece of video footage after we realized they were gone. No one took her. She went on her own. The videos showed Kaya and Gemma, each with one small bag, enough for overnight, or at least it looked like it. No one took them unless her friend isn't who she says she is."
My stomach cramped again. I thought back to meeting Gemma at the gala-turned-engagement party. She was nice. Bubbly. Did she have another motive? She seemed to really care about Kaya. She even tried to threaten me if I hurt her friend. People don't go to those lengths if they’re just pretending to be concerned. So what was the angle here?
"I swear to bloody God, Rook, just fucking find her."
"Right, but aren't you asking yourself what the fuck she's doing in Croatia?"
"I'm asking myself a lot of things. Most importantly, is she safe and how do I get away with killing you if she isn’t?"
Rook groaned. "I fucked up, all right? I know I fucked up. I'm working on it. We'll get Kaya back, damn it."
I sighed. "She's our mission, mate. It's our job to protect her. We need to get her back because we can’t lose her, too."
He sighed as he studied me. "You are so obvious, mate. Will you just take a moment and admit to me, let alone yourself, that you want her?"
I scowled at him. "Don’t start with me on this shit, too. I see the way you look at her."
"Well, she's fit. I'm definitely going to look. I’m a male, alive and kicking, you know. "
"I prefer you don't look in my presence."
He chuckled low. "If you want her, then do something about it. Or I will."
I narrowed my gaze at him. "She's not looking at you, Rook."
"Are you sure about that? I see her checking out my arse. I have a very fine arse, indeed. You know, kind of like Captain America's arse. I am England's arse."
"You most certainly areanarse."
Rook's brow furrowed. "Oh, did you just try and take the piss? It didn't land mate. I'm so sorry."
