“Not much of a threat, Bond.” Her voice was thick.
“Jet, dammit.” A harsh breath. “I need to know you’re safe. If I know you’re safe, it makes everything worthwhile.”
“You know I’m not very good at following orders.”
The drone dipped and she gasped. She was nearing the boathouse.
A guard on the ground saw her and fired. With a gasp, she closed her eyes, but thankfully no bullets hit her.
She tightened her hold and looked ahead.Almost there.
“I won’t let you die, Cain. I’ll never give up on you. Never leave you.”
She flew toward one of the large windows and lifted her feet.
Time to save the man she loved.

There couldn’t bemuch time left before the explosives went off. Cain felt like he could hear the ticking countdown in his head.
He dragged in a harsh breath. What the hell was Jet doing? His chest was so damn tight. He gripped the bars above his head. He’d already searched the hole. It was solid concrete. No way out.
At least it was too far away for Jet to reach him.
He closed his eyes and saw her face. Smiling at him. Sassing him.
She’d be safe. She’d be okay. Killian, Devyn, and the others would look out for her.
A crackling sound caught his attention, and he glanced over. He saw the flicker of flames.
Shit. The fire from the other half of the boathouse had spread. He blew out a breath. Soon, it wouldn’t matter.
Suddenly, there was a crash of shattering glass.
His head jerked around.
Then his mouth dropped open, and his body locked.
Through the bars of his prison, he watched a large drone crash through one of the windows.
With Jet hanging off it.
No. No.No.
The drone hovered and Jet dropped.
She caught her balance, and scanned around. She spotted him and ran over.
“Get out!” he roared.
She shot him a feisty look. “Not without you.” She drew a handgun, aimed it, and fired on the padlock. She kicked the lock aside, then grabbed the grate and heaved.
She grunted. “Oh, fuck, that’s heavy.”
It swung open.
“Condor, home,” she yelled.
