Dutch was through the door before he had fully decided to move, and Vivienne turned at the sound of it, her face going pale and stricken in the porch light, the phone still pressed to her ear.

He said: who are you calling.

She held up a hand, urgent, not defensive. Into the phone she said, quickly: I have to go, but you have what I told you, and you know what to do with it. And then she ended the call and turned to face Dutch fully, her expression a complicated mixture of fear and defiance.

    The ride to the lodge took eighteen minutes at a speed that made Sloane's heart hammer independent of the danger waiting at the end of it, the mountain road unspooling dark and fast beneath Colt's bike, her arms wrapped tight around his waist, the cold air roaring past them both.They approached the property from the access road Rafe had identified, bikes cutting engines a quarter mile out, the remaining distance covered on foot with the same trained silence Sloane had watched the brothers use at the warehouse weeks earlier, though this time she moved among them instead of waiting behind in a truck.Colt had not fought her on that point, not once, not on the ride, not in the final tense minutes of planning. Something between them had shifted permanently since the yard, since the switchback, since every night of danger they had faced together instead of apart, and she understood, moving low and quiet through the dark treeline beside him, that this was simply what trust looked like now.

  • Claimed By The Outlaw   Someone Running

    The war room crowded around Rafe's laptop, watching the newly active security feed with the specific dread of a plan potentially unraveling before it had even begun. The lodge, previously dark and quiet in the satellite stills, now blazed with light across every visible window, and figures, several of them, moved across the grounds with the brisk, purposeful urgency of people responding to an alarm.Colt said, tight: how.Rafe worked frantically, cross-referencing. He said: I don't think it's us. I don't think anyone told him we found the location. Look at the timestamp, this started six minutes ago, before Vivienne's phone call even ended, which means it can't be her, and none of the rest of us have made contact with anyone outside this room.Sloane felt something horrible settle into place. She said: what if it's not about us at all. What if something else triggered it.Emmett Cole, watching the feed with grim, focused attention, said: or someone else entirely is already there. Voss

    Dutch was through the door before he had fully decided to move, and Vivienne turned at the sound of it, her face going pale and stricken in the porch light, the phone still pressed to her ear.He said: who are you calling.She held up a hand, urgent, not defensive. Into the phone she said, quickly: I have to go, but you have what I told you, and you know what to do with it. And then she ended the call and turned to face Dutch fully, her expression a complicated mixture of fear and defiance.She said: my sister. I was calling my sister.Dutch's jaw was tight. He said: Vivienne, after tonight, you cannot blame me for needing to hear more than that.She said: Priya works inside Whitfield's office, Dutch. She has for three years. Which means she has access, quiet access, to exactly the kind of federal resources that could make what we found tonight, the lodge, the records, actually stick permanently once we recover them. I was not calling to warn Voss. I was calling to make sure that if w

  • Claimed By The Outlaw   Eleven Years

    Forty minutes from here landed in the war room like a physical shock, and Sloane felt the specific vertigo of realizing that the man who had ordered her father's death, who had photographed her on her own porch, who had sat across a coffee shop table's worth of distance in a courtroom hallway years before any of this began, had apparently been keeping his most precious secrets close enough to reach on an afternoon drive.Colt said, low: show me.Rafe turned the laptop. The coordinates resolved to a property tucked into a fold of the mountains west of Crestone Falls, a converted hunting lodge, according to public records, purchased eleven years ago through yet another shell company, its ownership buried under enough layers that only someone with Vivienne's specific insider knowledge could have traced it directly.Dutch stared at the map with an expression of slow, dawning fury. He said: eleven years. He has had a property forty minutes from this compound for eleven years, and none of u

  • Claimed By The Outlaw   Forty Minutes From Here

    They found Vivienne two hours later, not fled, not hidden, but sitting quietly in her own truck at the far edge of the compound's back lot, engine off, hands folded in her lap, waiting with the particular stillness of a woman who had already decided she would rather face what came next than keep running from it.Colt approached carefully, weapon lowered but visible, and she looked up at him through the window with red-rimmed eyes and made no move to start the engine or reach for anything.She said, before he could speak: I know you have questions. I have answers. I would like to give them somewhere Dutch doesn't have to watch me say them in handcuffs, if that's something you're willing to allow, but I understand if it isn't.They brought her into the war room instead, no restraints, though Rafe kept careful, unobtrusive watch on the door, and Dutch sat across from her with an expression that Sloane had never seen on his face before, not even during his own confession weeks earlier, so

  • Claimed By The Outlaw   The Second Page

    Nobody touched the envelope for a long moment, all four of them staring at it like it might detonate, and Sloane felt the specific dread of history repeating itself, another envelope, another message, another piece of her life delivered by someone who understood exactly how to make her feel watched from every direction at once.Colt finally picked it up, checking it first with the careful practiced hands of a man who had learned, expensively, not to trust anything Voss's operation left behind. He broke the seal.Inside was a single sheet of paper, and this time the handwriting was different from every previous message, tighter, more controlled, unmistakably a different hand than the one that had left the photograph at the fence weeks earlier.He read it aloud, his voice carefully even despite what Sloane could see was real strain beneath the control. It said: I am not who you think I am, and I am not who Voss believes me to be either. I have been playing both sides for longer than any

  • Claimed By The Outlaw   The Room Above The Bar

    Sloane deleted the text from Mira and then sat very still on the bar stool for thirty seconds, which was all the time she could afford to panic before she had to start thinking clearly again.Fourteen missed calls from an unknown number. Which meant Garrett had either already found her trail or was

  • Claimed By The Outlaw   The Wrong Town At The Right Time

    The truck broke down on a Tuesday, which felt exactly right.Tuesday was the kind of day that never promised anything good. Tuesdays were when your landlord called about the rent. Tuesdays were when doctors delivered the kind of news that rearranged your whole understanding of your life. Tuesdays h

  • Claimed By The Outlaw   Everything She Did Not Say

    She did not run.She wanted to. Every instinct she had spent the past two weeks sharpening told her to move, to be gone before that conversation in the parking lot ended, to be back in the truck and down the road before Colt came inside with whatever that man had told him about who she really was.

  • Claimed By The Outlaw   The Job She Didn’t Ask For

    She drove the truck around for an hour because she could.Not to go anywhere. Not toward Denver or Chicago or any point on a map that meant something. Just the mountain roads curving through pine trees with the windows down and the cold October air filling the cab. The engine ran smooth and quiet,
