Chapter 51 - After the Dream
“The only thing that would be worse than sitting here staring off into space would be if Tess let us listen in on the speeches. What could they possibly take this long to say? We need donations, please open your damn wallets.” Jennah hissed into the mics.
Dom chuckled. “Patience doesn’t seem to be your strong point lately, lady.”
“Trade you places, husband.”
Brody shook his head and glanced at the man beside him to see an idiot’s grin on his face.
“If only I could, wife.”
“Talk time is winding down,” Joslee informed all.
“It’s about time.” Brody muttered to Dom.
“Yeah.” Dom turned back towards the building. “All eyes on Tess until we have her.”
“Might take a few—the Councilman seems to be leading her all over the place, even holding her arm.”

Tess couldn’t have turned around and looked behind if she had a chance; she was sandwiched between the Councilman and one of his goons. When the earpiece attached to her earring had gone dead, she could only hope that Brody got her signal. Chewing on the inside of her cheek, she cautiously looked at the man sitting beside her. He hadn’t uttered one word since they’d gotten in the car. The driver kept looking at her in the mirror and she tried to avoid making eye contact with him as well.When the car turned a corner in a rush speed, the councilman’s weight hit her. The only reason they would speed up had to mean they were being followed. She knew Dom well enough to know if he was the one driving there was no way this driver was going to be able to lose him—the man had chased down a perp on foot more than once; in a vehicle he was a demon. All she had to do was hold it together until backup got here.

Brody zipped the vest and pointed at the screen. “Get me to there and I’ll hoof it around get in behind the car.”“Got it.” Grayson announced as he accelerated and went barrelling down into the ditch the second they cleared the road barriers.“Smithy, you’re on scope. Anyone so much as breathes on Tess and you take them down a peg.” He growled into the com.“Won’t take my eyes off her.” The sniper in the group responded.“Colonel and I are in position. His men on are the ship with the containers and surrounding the yard.” Joslee reported. “I got your ass covered, Dom, whenever you’re ready.”Brody grabbed the door handle. “No one fires until Tess is clear.” He knew it didn’t need to be said, but he wasn’t taking any chances with her life.As he hit the ground for the second time tha

It took Tess a moment to pull away from Brody’s kiss when she realized she’d brought them to the backyard instead of inside the house. “You had me all distracted and I didn’t focus hard enough.” Putting his arm around her, he pulled her against him and turned them towards the door. “Oh I’d say you were focused on the right thing.” Unzipping the vest, Brody shrugged out of it as soon as they entered the house. Tess kicked off her heels and sighed in relief to be free of them. Before she could turn around he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, cuddling her against his warm body. “Can I bribe you to wear those shoes again, later?” Tilting her head she closed her eyes as his mouth moved over the side of her neck. “I believe it’s illegal to bribe a police officer.” “Mmm, I’ll take my chances.” “Oh, good you’re back.” Jennah moved slowly into the room.

“Tell me your name.” The unfamiliar voice was intense, yet gentle, and it resonated in all the right places inside of her. “Jennah Best.” She glanced around, trying to place where they were.

“Jennah?” She turned to see Dominic a few feet away from her. She smiled. “Hi.” He strode over to her in long strides. “I thought it was you.”

Jennah silently prayed all the way to work that today would be less chaotic than the day before. Her prayers were not answered. She had only taken three steps into the office when she was hailed by Rudy waving his hand at her. Sighing, she walked over to the older, round man and offered him what she hoped looked close to a smile

Jennah glanced out the window as she rubbed her hair dry. The snow was falling from the dark night sky. She hung the towel over the curtain rod and turned back to the mirror. She hadn’t heard anything from Dominic yet and she didn’t know how to go about contacting him. Did she go to bed and just hope he showed up while she slept—again? Should she try to concentrate and see if she could reach him? Sighing, she walked out to the small sitting area and picked up her book. Either way, she was going to go climb under the covers and relax. She didn’t have to get up before dawn to go to work, and for the next twenty-four hours, she didn’t have to deal with crazed, holiday-afflicted people. She climbed under the covers and sat back against the pillows. Closing her eyes, she let out a slow breath and allowed all the tension from the last few days to ease out of her shoulders. She slid down further on the pillows. Her book wasn’t

Dom lay there, looking at the ceiling. There was still an hour before they could go outside for yard time. He was looking forward to the cool air to help clear his head. He smirked at the faded ceiling. Images of Jennah filed every molecule of his mind right now. “Palmer?” He turned to look at Slick as he came back into their cell. Something was wrong. Slick always seemed a little cautious, but this time he was downright nervous, almost panicked. He sat up and swung his legs over the edge. “What’s wrong?” Slick glanced down at the floor and then over his shoulder before looking back at him. “I caught up to Dickenson like you said to.” He stuffed his hands in his pockets, and then pulled them back out again. Dom squared his shoulders. “I take it the info wasn’t good?” Slick shook his head. “For a guard, he’s usually pretty cool, you know?&nbs
