"I hate to turn on the lights, even though they know we're here. I don't want them seeing us clearly."
She handed her phone to Rafe after turning on the flashlight app.
"I need you to hold this over the senator while I remove the tracker."
"Oh, no. You aren't cutting me open again."
"I have no choice, Senator."
"I do!"
"No, you don't. If you want to see your family again, you need to let me remove this tracker."
She pulled items from the medical kit and laid them on a wooden chair that stood in the corner. Pulling the chair toward the bed, she let out a long breath. "I need to do this Senator. I have some numbing ointment. And, I'll be quick."
The senator laid back and he held the phone over the senator's bandage on his chest. Addy pulled the bandage away from the wound and grimaced. "It's infected."
"Get it out of me." The senator barked.
Addy applied the numbing ointment to the senator's chest and the front door opened. She looked up at him and he moved into the living area slowly. Tate stood in the doorway, watching out the door. He turned as Rafe entered the room.
"Spencer is on his way. We'll secure the premises while Addy works on the senator."
Rafe's palms grew sweaty and he hurried into the bedroom where Addy pressed around the wound in the senator's shoulder. "I'll hurry and do no damage."
The senator only nodded once. His head flopped on the pillow and he closed his eyes.
Addy gently cut the senator's stitches. As she pulled the tissue back, the phone lite glinted off something in the senator's wound and he froze while she used a tweezers and pulled if from the senator. The tracker was the size of a ladybug. Metal in composition though now bloody.

Addy cleaned the tracker with alcohol after re-stitching the senator's wound. The little bowl she placed it in filled with red remnants of blood as she swirled the bowl to help it self-clean.
Using tweezers, she lifted the tracker from the bowl and laid it on a towel.
Tate pulled out a container for her to place the tracker in. He closed the lid to the tiny container and plugged it into his computer with a USB connection. He stared at his computer while she washed her hands.
Tate stood. "I have its ID. I'll get this to Casper and see if he can find the owner."
Rafe stepped over to his computer and sat down. "I'm here and have the same access as Casper. Let me do it."
Tate passed the information to Rafe, who went to work on his computer. Addy dried her hands and watched Rafe work. He watched his computer screen, typed information in periodically then looked up at Tate.
"It's registered to Kingsmen LLC. Kingsmen LLC is a limited liability company whose registered agent is Natalie King. Natalie King is president-elect King's wife."
"We need to move this along faster than it's moving." Tate snapped.
Rafe huffed out a breath. "How about you and Spencer take the tracker from here and move it somewhere we can watch it. It hasn't been deactivated and they may still be regrouping and planning another visit. If you cover Spencer up as if he's a patient, and hurry him to your vehicle, then take off out of here like a bat out of hell, they may follow you. We'll effectively move them away from the senator and out into the open. Addy and I will move the senator to the HOG until we can find another place for him."
Tate glanced at Spencer. "Ready to ride?"
"Let's go."
Spencer grabbed a blanket off the back of the sofa and wrapped it around his body and covered his head. Tate took the tracker and put it in his pocket, then opened the door and helped Spencer from the cabin. Rafe locked the door behind them.
Addy sauntered to him. She smiled into his face. "It wasn't you. Do you understand? It wasn't your phone before, it was the senator."
"I did have a tracker in my phone."
