At the same time he spoke, Julius and Jennings reached up tugged their hat brims, offering heads bowed. Clay placed his hat back on his head, tugged the brim and gave a nod back to the team.
Dove’s gaze shot to Quaide. In her eyes, he read what everyone here was feeling—that the moment was a turning point for the Sentry team. A new bond forged.
One he was missing out on. As soon as he got the chance, he intended to stop by the local outdoors store and pick up a new one.
Lark entered the room late. She buried her nose in her own mug of coffee. “Who made this pot? It’s so good.”
“I did.” Dove offered her a smile.
Lark’s attention landed on the table. “Oooh! Are we doing the hats too now? Like the WEST team?”
Clay’s mouth twitched. “Guess we are.”
“Then Quaide needs one. I’ll get your hat measurement and make sure I get one for you today.”
“I’d appreciate that, Lark.”
Rain slumped in her chair. “I don’t get this whole hat thing. I thought we were here to discuss me going to the ranch. Does that mean I need a hat too?”
“You don’t need anything,” Quaide said. “We’ll take care of everything. We are here to discuss how to move you. As soon as WEST gives the green light, we’ll go.”
“How worried are we about interception?” Julius finished his biscuit and brushed a few crumbs off his shirt.
“Interception sounds bad,” Rain uttered.
Clay sent a look around the table. “It’s definitely something we need to take precautions against. We can’t be too safe in this case.”
“I can shoot,” Dove interjected. “I can help protect my sister.”
Quaide was already shaking his head. “You’re not going with her, Dove.”
She lifted her jaw only a fraction but he knew her body language like he knew the cold steel of the weapon tucked against his spine. She didn’t like him giving her orders.
Except in the bedroom.
At that moment, Jennings jumped in. “We can run separate vehicles. If someone gets wind of the exchange, then they’ll see several vehicles making stops at different exits on the interstate.”
Quaide was watching Dove close enough to note how her lips rounded in a slightOand her breasts moved with an intake of air. He knew her well—damn well. And she had an idea.
As long as it didn’t involve her going to the Wynton Ranch, he welcomed anything she had to add.
“You have something to share, Dove?”
She nodded. “Rain and I can dress alike. I’ll act as a decoy.”
“No.” Quaide’s hard tone came out a little too loud.
“It’s a good idea,” Jennings drawled.
“Hell no,” Quaide said even louder.
“I’ll dress like them both,” Lark added.
Julius swept his gaze over the three ladies speculatively. “Dove, Rain and Lark are all about the same size.”
“I’m a size four,” Rain put in.
Dove sent her sister a conciliatory look. “The point is that we’re close enough in size to fool anybody watching.”
