Enemy Within (Unseen Enemy 1) Chapter Fifty-six
Nigel looked around and saw that Emma was sitting on the sofa next to Dean. His tattooed arm was around her gently, and he was looking at her like she was the most amazing thing he’d ever seen in his life. Chris was helping Jenny with something in the kitchen, his huge hands carefully arranging tiny little things on trays. Nigel’s breath caught when he saw the startling golden eyes on the guy talking to Kat; Nigel hadn’t caught the man’s name on the way in. He did notice that Kat had dyed her hair black for the occasion, and the contrast with her creamy skin was incredible. The last to arrive was a tall, broad, muscled man with ferocious blue eyes and arms full of tattoos. He stared down at Nigel in the most intimidating-but-damn-sexy way, and Nigel took a step back, thinking that this could only be one person.“Hi,” he said. “I’m Nigel. Are you Dallas?”The man nodded, those eyes taking in the whole room at a glance. He saw Emma, found Liv, spotted Jenny and Kat. He returned his att

Seven weeks laterNigel glanced at the clock above Liv’s stove and gasped in horror. How had time gotten away from him so badly? How? How? It was all Abe’s fault – why did he have to drop by Liv’s house out-of-the-blue and bring some flowers for Emma? It was a lovely gesture, of course, but the man’s kisses were just too good to resist, and Nigel had easily lost a good ten minutes before sending Abe on his way.Now he spun around the gorgeous living room, fluffing cushions and double-checking that the wine glasses were streak-free. He frowned at the banner hanging over the roaring fireplace and moved it a bit to the left, then the right, then left again. He fussed with the fresh-cut flowers, changed the music three times, and rearranged the platters of food that Jenny had prepared and brought over.Nigel heard the garage door open two floors down, and knew that Liv was home. He gasped again and launched himself into the entrance lobby of the house, waiting for the elevator doors to sl

“So they’re a bunch of fucking hacks over there is what. They’re just a group of yahoos playing bodyguards… they have no idea what they’re doing.” Dallas didn’t add that most of them had little or no real training at all, and that Blue Star was where you went when you flunked out of the police academy, or got dishonorably discharged from military service. He knew of two guys for sure at Blue Star who had raped female soldiers, and one guy who had beaten a black teenager almost to death in a bar fight. It was a mess over there, and Dallas knew plenty about the dangerous situations that Greg and his team had put their clients in through sheer stupidity, inexperience, and laziness.“My manager Larry hired them,” she said. “He’s worked with them before with other clients and he says they’re great.”I’ll just bet he did. Larry is probably getting a healthy kickback from Greg and the boys for sending your business their way. Or maybe he’s just a moron, too.“OK, OK.” He held up his huge han

One week laterThey were all sitting in the hospital, waiting to hear that Emma was out of surgery. The mood in the room was tense; they had all been taken aback when Emma had fully explained the risks of the transplant. All this time, they had thought that once the donor was found, Emma would be in the clear. They had had no idea about the possible post-transplant complications, and they hadn’t known that her body may well reject the donor marrow. They hadn’t known that the transplant may kill her, kill her faster than the cancer itself. But without the transplant, she had no chance at all – so here they were, waiting.Jim got to his feet and they all looked at him.“I’m going to get some coffee,” he said quietly. “You all want some?”They nodded and then Kat got up too. “I’ll come with you,” she said. “I feel like I need some air.”“Sure,” he said. “Let’s go.”Dean barely heard the conversation. He was sitting in his chair, staring at his hands and trying to remember to breathe. Th

Kat had been expecting it for the past few weeks, but when Emma showed up at the salon, she was still upset at what surely had to come. Jim was with her, and he looked equally shaken. Kat met his eyes and they both shook their heads, almost imperceptible movements that spoke volumes of pain and anger.“OK, Kat.” Emma sat in the chair calmly. “You know what needs to be done.”“I know, sweetie.” Emma extended her hand to Jim, and he sat next to her, her cold fingers curled in his huge hand. Kat stood behind her, scissors held up. Jim noticed for the first time that Kat’s hair was now a vibrant red and he blinked. Every time he saw her, she looked completely different and he wondered if this was required for her job.“Ready, Em?”“Yeah.”Kat’s hand didn’t shake much when she made the first cut, held a long piece of Emma’s hair in her hand, dropped it to the floor. They all looked at each other in the mirror. Emma pressed her lips together and nodded. Kat raised the scissors again. Again

Dean wrapped another blanket around Emma, feeling helpless. Even though her face was burning up, she was freezing; her body was shaking so hard, the whole bed was rattling. She moaned and clutched the edges of the blanket, trying to pull it closer and tighter. She closed her eyes.He sat next to her and took her hand. He couldn’t do anything about the poison being pumped through her veins and flooding her small body, but he could let her know that she wasn’t all alone. “Baby? Can you hear me?”She opened her eyes a bit and nodded.“You want some water?”“N–n–no,” she managed to get out between her chattering teeth. “Thanks.”They stayed like that for a while, not talking. Suddenly Emma sat straight up and gasped. “Dean…”He grabbed the bucket from the bedside table and held it for her as she vomited. He put his hand on her back, holding her steady as she heaved and retched, over and over. She caught her breath, vomited again. With trembling fingers he stroked her hair off her hot for
