She dressed quickly.
He grabbed the gun Sarah had brought to him.
Drew eased toward the door. Tina’s heady scent still filled his nose. He could still taste her.
But their moment of reprieve was at an end. Too soon.
He pulled back the curtains, just a tiny space, and gazed outside. Darkness.
That was all right.
The darkness wouldn’t last forever.
Lightning flashed.
He saw the outline of two bodies.
A man and a woman. No weapons in their hands, but he could see the holsters for their guns.
He studied the two figures in that instant of light.
And the tension eased from his shoulders.
Drew opened the door. “As always,” he said to Dylan Foxx and Rachel Mancini, “your timing is hell.”
Dylan grinned at him. “Good to see you, too—”
Thunder blasted.
The hell that was thunder!
Wood splintered from the top of the door as Dylan and Rachel leaped inside the motel room.
Drew knew they’d also recognized that sound for exactly what it was—gunfire.
Drew shoved the door closed even as more bullets came flying through the air. “Anyone hit?” he demanded.
“Just a graze,” Rachel panted. “What a...jerk.”
The glass in the window shattered. The shots were coming so quickly that Dylan knew they were looking at more than one shooter.
“You were followed,” Drew said as he immediately took up a fighting stance. His gaze swept the room. Tina had ducked behind the bed. Good. She was safe.
Now to eliminate this threat.
“Bull,” Dylan snapped. “We know how to cover our trail.”
“Looks like you didn’t cover it well enough this time.” Drew hated being pinned in that motel room. The only way out would be through some back windows, and there might be men out there, waiting to take a shot at them.
“Let’s just hope all of HAVOC isn’t out there,” Rachel said as she checked her gun. “’Cause this could be one very long fight.”
A bullet ripped through the wood on the motel room door. “Tina!” Drew cried out as worry snaked through him. Innocents got hurt too easily in firefights. “Make sure you stay down.” Because when he rushed outside, the bullets would start coming twice as hard and twice as fast.
But there wasn’t a choice for Drew.
They weren’t going to stay trapped.
Dylan slanted a glance at him. They’d worked together for so long, the guy would know exactly what Drew was planning. “You sure about this?”
