“What about my situation?” Major inquires.
“What situation is that?”
“I’m getting married in less than a month.”
James smiles wide. “I’m well aware since Jenna and I are attending and my daughter-in-law designed your fiancée’s dress. If you’re worried our arrangement will disrupt any of your lives, rest assured that is not the case.”
“Send the contracts.” Major jerks his chin in approval.
“You’ll find there is an additional compensation package,” James adds.
“Shit, man, we worked for the government for a pittance the first three years. You think we’re in this for money?”
“No, but I think this government owes you.”
“Like I said, you’re acquiring headaches. Cocky, arrogant, fearless headaches.”
“Is there any other kind?” James stands and extends his hand to Boyd. “Looking forward to working together.”
“Yeah, yeah…” he mumbles, shaking his hand. “Promise to return them to me without bullet holes or stab wounds and we’ll be solid.”
“Knew you loved us, Boyd,” Talon prods, making a heart with his hands.
At this, I openly chuckle, earning a dirty glower from Boyd. “Don’t you have a girlfriend to move?”
At this comment, my mood goes south. “Temporarily move.”
“Been there and done that, too. However, I think this time it will be much more entertaining.” James chuckles knowingly.
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Who am I to spoil all the fun? Talk soon.” He gives a wave and walks out.
I make the move to follow when Boyd clears his throat. “Not yet, rookie.”
“You got something else?”
He glances between us, his gaze no longer irritated, but troubled. “Not my call to hold you boys back.”
“Technically, you’re only holding Ace and me back. These two are being stubborn assholes,” Major states.
“It’s a delay of the inevitable,” I counter.
The trouble in Boyd’s eyes clears, his lip curling. “You really are cocky pricks. That being said, you have my recommendation when the time comes.”
“Aww.” Talon wipes a nonexistent tear.
“Get out of here,” Boyd dismisses.
We pile out of his office, all heads swinging our way with looks of confusion. James is still in the squad room talking to Rich Jacobs.
“Catch up with you soon.” Ace heads their way.
When we get to my truck, Major and Talon are smirking.
“Something funny?”
“Fucking hilarious.” Major grins wide.
