I don’t remember falling asleep but it’s morning. Logan’s draped over me before he rolls onto his back with a big yawn.

“Morning,” he says sleepily. I kiss his cheek, only half-awake myself.

Asher kisses my neck on the other side. “Sleep well?”

“Yes, but I’m dying for some coffee,” I say, trying to stifle a yawn of my own.

“I can make some,” Logan says.

“No.” Asher reaches across me to pin Logan down, although he isn’t making a move to get up yet. “Julian’s doing that. You don’t need to scare Elena away with your inability to produce something drinkable.”

Before Logan can retort, Julian rushes into the bedroom and right away it’s obvious that something’s wrong.

“What is it, JJ?” Logan asks, taking in his friend’s pale face and wild eyes. Asher sits upright, instantly on high alert.

“I got a message from the head lab tech. Our data has been stolen. It’s in someone else’s hands right now.”

“How?” Asher asks sharply.

“I don’t know yet.” Julian’s eyes stray over to me. I go hot and cold. Not me, I want to say, but my throat’s gone completely dry. Asher and Logan are tensed up beside me.

“Elena,” Logan says in a strained voice. “Where can we find your ex?”
