“Why would we have an issue with that?” Jagger asked.

He of all people knew that sometimes, you needed to get a little help and walk through your trauma.

In fact, most of them needed shrinks.

Look at Zayn.

He was loco.

Elizabeth clarified.

“A shrink needs to come HERE. As in visits to ensure Gamble begins healing.”

Oh, well, that changed everything. They really minded that because this was their safe space. Artemis was gunning for them, a Russian mob man was heading their way, and she wanted to let a stranger into that inner sanctum?

They didn’t bring anyone here.

No.

One.

This was their workspace, and it was attached to Jagger and Maura’s home.

That was like giving a fox the keys to the henhouse and during this dangerous time…

Nope.

People talked and could be bribed.

That meant their safety could be sacrificed, and no one wanted to bury their family.

“Uh, is she kidding?” Zayn asked, not sure if she was or not. That suggestion was…absurd.

Even to him.

At that very moment, Violet, Dianna, and Michael were in the house attached to this one with Marsha, their gun-toting Cajun nanny. Everyone else would be there later.

They planned on hiding there the next couple of days and tucking in for the shitshow that was coming their way.

That was a little too close to the fire for them.

“She’s serious,” Maura admitted.

That was all it took.

“Yeah, no,” Zayn said.

She knew this was going to be the outcome. Only, she had no choice.

“You can’t take him to the office and back. You guys are like walking targets on a good day. On a bad one, you are all being killed. Remember?”

Oh, they did.

She wasn’t done.

“A Russian is coming, and all the mercenaries are bought up. You have a rogue CIA operative selling your information to the highest bidder, and that’s a problem. You want to have him leave this building and one of you escort him? And you think Tommy joining the police force is the only act of lunacy?”

Okay, she had a point.
