The senator started blustering on about something else but Henry closed the car door on him.
Addy strode to the vehicle and punched fists with Henry. "Stay safe, keep your eyes peeled. Tell Everleigh I said hi. Get the senator medical attention as soon as you get back."
His grin was broad when Everleigh's name was mentioned and Rafe felt a little pang of jealousy at the obvious smitten look on Henry's face. He loved his wife. He had a someone. A person.
Myles put the last duffle in the trunk of the car and turned to Addy. She hugged him. "Tell Maya I'll call as soon as I can. You guys take care."
Myles nodded. "Will do. You stay safe. Things have been bumpy."
"It's not intentional and now that we've figured it out, it should be good."
Myles glanced over Addy's head at him and nodded but said nothing else. He turned and got into the passenger seat of the vehicle and Henry waved out the window as they pulled away from the cabin.
Addy turned to him. "Ready?"
"Yes."
The perp whined, "Hey, what the fuck? You're leaving me here?"
Addy glanced at him. "Someone's coming for you."
Just as the words were out of her mouth, a vehicle pulled into the driveway. Addy stared at the vehicle for a long time, then quietly said, "It's ours."
"How do you know?"
"The tags. Tate gave me the tag number."
"Okay."
She started toward their SUV. "Let's go. They'll likely not want to be seen in person."
He followed her to the SUV they'd brought here, a slight grin on his face when she walked around to the passenger side and slid inside. He jumped into the driver's seat and started the SUV. He immediately began moving toward the road, only one brief glance in the mirror to see the two men striding toward the man zip-tied to the porch.
"Do I want to know what they'll do to him?"
Addy turned to him, a beautiful smile on her face. "We're not animals, Rafe. They'll take him in for medical attention then they'll question the hell out of him. His friend will be taken care of."
"How?"
She shook her beautiful head. "Don't ask too many questions."
He nodded then let out a deep breath. "I have some things to tell you. Are you ready for that conversation?"
"Is it about getting to know me better?"
"Yes. No. A little of both I guess."
She swallowed and sat back in her seat. "Okay. Go ahead."
Rafe's heart hammered in his chest. It was the first time he was saying it out loud. He'd kept the secret for years. "Wade is Casper."
Her head slowly turned toward him. She said nothing but her body tensed and she was alert and waiting for more. "He's training me to be his replacement."
"You're serious?"
"I am."
"Why are you telling me? You said you had to keep secrets."
