“GENE!” Ethan said, horrified. “Not that story! I was drunk!”
Elizabeth giggled.
Finally, it wasn’t her past coming up in drunken tales from Christopher to the other men.
“Oh, this is going to be hella fun, and awkward all at the same time. I do love awkward.”
Blackhawk shook his head.
It looked like he was going to be patching Gene up, and it wasn’t lost on him that he’d done the same thing all of those years ago, but for him.

W hat he excelled at was moving around without anyone even noticing him. Then, he’d pop up, take a life, and be out of there before anyone was any the wiser. It was just how he liked to work. Being a Reaper wasn’t easy.

When the government contacted him to come work for them tied to the CIA, he’d willingly jumped Marine ship.

It damaged him.
The torture had been bad, but knowing that she’d sacrificed something so valuable and precious to buy them time…
Lewis knew that he couldn’t watch it happen again. How Jagger even stayed with her for the countless missions after…
It befuddled him.
Someone was a masochist.
That was for damn sure.
