Addy finished showering and got dressed. Blow drying her hair she mentally got her head back in the game. They were on duty tonight and needed to research the people Wade sent to them. Rafe had to study constitutional law and ethics charters. Exciting. But then again, she'd be with him the entire night, working and chatting when they took a break. The senator would likely be sleeping, so hopefully it would be peaceful.
After blow drying her hair, she let it fall over her shoulders then exited the bathroom. Rafe sat on the sofa waiting for her. A sexy grin on his face when she entered the room.
"You look beautiful, Addy."
Her heartbeat increased just looking at him. "You look handsome, Rafe."
He winked then stood and moved toward her. He wrapped her in his arms and pulled her close. He kissed the top of her head then stepped back. "Ready?"
"Ready."
He pulled his laptop case off the bed, slipped the strap over his head and waited for her. She picked up her laptop and slung it over her shoulder as she stepped to the door.
They padded out, ready for action and in work mode. Maya grinned as she stood and exited the conference room.
"Thanks for taking my shift tonight."
"You're welcome. Get some rest."
Maya chucked her on the shoulder, nodded at Rafe and went back to the conference room. Myles waved from the conference room, his empty plate next to him. She turned toward the kitchen and the door that led to the garage. After they'd closed the kitchen door behind them, Addy turned to Rafe. "Let me take a minute to show you the gun range and the workout room.” Striding to the right she opened the outer door to the gun range. The lights clicked on to illuminate the outer room.
"This is where we stow our gear if we need to." Pointing to the left, "Eye protection, and ear protection are stored here." She opened locker doors to show him. Pointing to the right, "Flack vests are hanging in here." She opened another locker to show him the vests hanging.
She moved toward a door at the far end of the room and opened it. Lights flickered on. "This is the range. We only have three lanes, but that's enough for us."
"It's impressive."
"Aidyn's mom and dad built it for us. Bridget is a master marksman and owns her own gun range. She teaches classes and has a passion for self-defense."
"Wicked."
"Right." She turned and led the way out of the gun range to a door across the garage. "This is the workout room. It doesn't smell like gun powder, sadly, but usually sweat."
Rafe chuckled. "That's usually the case with any gym."
Pushing open the door, the lights clicked on and illuminated the room and all the equipment.
"Impressive. No expense has been spared."
She grinned. "That's the way Gaige works. He keeps us healthy, makes working out easy, gun range handy, and we get paid well. It works for all of us and we don't have turnover."
"That's the best part. I can only imagine how hard it is to find new operatives."
"Well, they were lucky with all of us. They birthed us. Not so sure that will happen again. But, I guess you never know."
Rafe nodded and exited the room. Addy turned and saw him staring at the vehicles.
"We'll take mine. The black Mustang."
He grinned. "Nice. That suits you."
She grinned. "You want to drive?"
His smile was genuine. "Absolutely."
She hopped into the passenger seat and Rafe adjusted the driver's seat, moving the seat all the way back.
He tapped the opener and started the Mustang, a grin on his face when it roared to life. Easing them from the garage, his smile grew. Addy added the address to the safe house into her phone and set it in the holder hanging from the rearview mirror.
