“Would it be okay to put it up in there?”

“Sure.” He turned the ignition off, his eyes never leaving the house a few doors down.

“What are we looking for?” I whispered.

“We need to wait until he leaves and then follow him,” he whispered back.

“Okay, what does he look like?”

He handed me a photo. The man looked like any other man, nothing distinct about him. He wore a beige shirt and br

own tie in the photo, old glasses sat on his round face with a receding hairline.

“What are we watching for?”

“I think he has something to do with an underground ring.”

“What like under the ground?”

He cut his eyes to me. “Seriously?”

“What?”

“It’s not actually under the ground.” He shook his head then looked back.

“I know that.”

“And why the fuck are we still whispering?” I laughed then, I had no idea why we were still whispering.

Ty smiled at me, the sight taking my breath away. I turned to stop the butterflies swarming my stomach, it was happening more often than I’d like to admit. But it didn’t mean anything. I could have this feeling over a good looking man. Right?

“There he is.” I pointed.

Ty waited until he had left in his car, then started the ignition.

“Ready?” He raised his brows.

“As I’ll ever be.” I clutched my seat belt, trying to hold in all of the bubbling excitement.

Chapter Nine

The next couple of days flew by. Ty had taken me out on a job a couple of times, yesterday he had even let me take some photos. It was something that I’d never thought I’d enjoy, but I did. The photos had come out okay, I wouldn’t be a professional anytime soon but Ty was pleased with them so that was all that mattered.

We’d spent most of the last couple of days just the two of us while we watched other people. I got to know him a little better and we found that we both loved people watching. I told him that I couldn’t stand to do any sort of exercise and he told me that he had to do some everyday or he felt like something was missing.

It would explain his muscles, not that I was complaining. I found myself smiling more and more. He started telling me some more stories about Corey but after the first day he told me more about himself.

He said that it had never been a question of joining the Special Forces, he’d wanted to for as long as he could remember. I admired him for how hard he had worked. He asked a couple of times what Eli and Max were like and I told him story after story about Eli.

But never anything about Max. I knew that he noticed but I just brushed it off like it didn’t matter and it didn’t. I wanted to keep my two worlds separate, the less they knew about Max the better.

By the time we got back to the compound, I had to leave to pick Eli up.

“I’ll see you tomorrow.” I turned in my seat, facing Ty.

Ty’s eyes met mine, there was something hidden in their depths that I couldn’t quite make out. A gentle smile lifted the corners of his mouth. “You’re incredible, you know that?”

I snorted. “Yeah. Okay.” I reached for the door handle.
