“Cap, it’s okay to take a break and breathe in the wonderfulness that is nature.”

“We’re in a spa. There is nothingnaturerelated about this. And it’s Cash.” His eyes quickly flicked away from me, and that’s when I got that feeling in the pit of my stomach that said there was more to the story. “FNG,” I said in warning.

He placed the lone cucumber back on his eye and laid back in the chair. I jerked the handle, making him fly forward in his chair. He looked at me incredulously.

“I was just starting to relax!”

“You went to Reed Security, didn’t you?”

“What? How could you say that? I would never betray you in such a way!”

“When was it?”

“I swear?—”

I grabbed his champagne and held it away from him. “No more of the good stuff until you answer every question I have.”

He huffed in irritation, motioning for me to give it back. “Fine, but you know, you really are just like him.”

“Who?”

“Cap.”

I wasn’t going to bother responding to that. We were both ex-military. Of course we were alike. “Just tell me when you saw him.”

“About two days after my truck blew up.”

FNG

On the road.

Exactly 2 days, 8 hours, 7 minutes, and 18 seconds after FNG’s truck blew up…

“I still don’t understandwhy we’re driving all the way out to Pennsylvania. This seems a little drastic, don’t you think?”

Rafe kept driving, refusing to look at me. I was getting really tired of the silent treatment. He was the one that needed me, but wasn’t giving me a damn bit of insight into the situation.

“Look, you asked for my help. If you don’t want it?—”

“Fuck, alright!” he snapped. “Why can’t you just follow orders like my other guys?”

“You mean the ones you handed over to Cash and don’t use anymore? Hmm, you’re right. I should be more compliant.”

He sighed, finally giving in. “Sebastian doesn’t know that I’m Cash’s brother. I need a favor, and the only way to accomplish that is by using Sebastian.”

“Don’t you think the gig will be up when he calls Cash?”

“He won’t. I’ll make sure of it. And you won’t say anything either.”

I snorted. “Of course not. We’re on a super spy mission.”

“You’re supposed to be dead. It’s best if you do your part and play along so we can all go home at the end of the day.”

“Well, I know I will. I can’t die. I don’t know about you.”

“I haven’t died yet,” he retorted.
