Sunday. Task Force Headquarters. Washington, DC.LOGAN COVERTLY GLANCED AT his phone.Again.Evan had promised to keep Logan up to date on their movements. There hadn't been a single thing since Evan said they were done at Walter Reed.Where were they?"Senator, sir?" Zora leaned forward, speaking in her sweet as honey voice.That was not a good sign.Anytime Logan heard that tone trotted out, the person receiving it got hammered shortly thereafter."I told you." John smiled and lifted his shoulders. "I don't know anything.""Then why did you leave your residence?" she countered.This was getting old."I was afraid for my life," John replied."Bullshit," Logan barked.Both John and Zora started and looked at him.Logan sat back, arms crossed over his chest, and glared at John.Screw it."You were attacked because of what you've done and who you are connected to. You ran because you knew once we got the full story, you'd be in deep shit. Now, do you wa

Sunday. Task Force Headquarters. Washington, DC.KELSEY COULDN'T STOP GRINNING.Her hunch had been right. She'd just known if she pulled the strings hard enough, they'd get something.Deep down, she knew Dixon would likely get off easy when it came to the human trafficking case. She consoled herself with the knowledge that those connected to this endeavor wouldn't get off so easily. And it was likely that Dixon was guilty of other things. She had a feeling he'd already hung himself with a series of poor decisions at the cost of other people's lives. She hated how this was going to play out, but in the end she had to put her faith in the justice system. That the bad guys would face the consequences. She couldn't undo the evil he'd unleashed, but she could do this.God, she wanted to kiss Logan so bad right now. Instead, she shoved her hands into the back pockets of her jeans and rocked back on her heels.Zora stared at her phone screen. "I know it's getting late, but we nee

Sunday. Kelsey's Apartment. Washington, DC.KELSEY DUNKED ANOTHER CHIP in the queso and shoved it in her mouth. Her insides were wound tight. She'd thought Logan would have something to say about her little reveal, but he'd just held her hand until the food arrived.He hadn't brought up her reservations again.She'd had this conversation a few times over the years. Mostly to set the proper expectations for a friends-with-benefits situation or a no-strings-attached arrangement. No one had ever second-guessed her. So why was Logan's easy acceptance bothering her?Was it that he didn't want to keep her around that long? Or was he arrogant enough to think he could change her?Knowing him, it was probably the latter.So where was the grand speech?Sometimes this man made no sense to her. None at all."Wow." Logan chuckled and wiped his fingers off.She blinked at the TV, but it was too late. She'd missed whatever it was. The main character of the movie reached down and

Monday. Task Force Headquarters. Washington, DC.TOTALLY NORMAL DAY.Or at least that's what Kelsey was trying to tell herself.She'd been in law enforcement long enough that she'd had to do a variety of things. Interviewing suspects wasn't uncommon. It was one of those things she'd gladly left to Baruti and Samuel. Even when she had done interviews, they'd been outside. She'd talked strategy with them, made a plan, and they'd watched over her.Today it was her. And Evan. But it wasn't the same.This sucked.She unbuttoned her suit jacket and took a deep breath as she strode toward the main interview room.Santiago Fern醤dez had arrived.Ultimately, they'd chosen to not arrest the lobbyists. Instead, the plan was to get them to come in for pointed conversations and make rulings on the spot.Santiago was the first one of today.It was time to nail Dixon down. According to Logan, the guy was waffling and talking about going back on his word. That irritated Kelsey. I

Monday. Task Force Headquarters. Washington, DC.LOGAN'S HEAD WAS ABUZZ with the dozen or so tasks he had to accomplish today. All while making sure his guys didn't make fools of themselves.They were all in over his head.It had always seemed like the FBI and CIA agents didn't do much, and that the bulk of the heavy lifting fell to Logan and his team. Now he knew how wrong that assumption had been. Filling in while the agents were secluded was stretching the boundaries of what he felt comfortable doing. Hell, he wasn't even technically law enforcement, yet it seemed like that was the role he and the guys were falling into. And they didn't know all the rules. At least not yet.He strode toward the lab, ready to get this damn meeting over with and on to whatever came next."TL," Evan called out.Logan paused and turned.Evan jogged toward him. Out of all of them, Evan had settled into wearing a suit the easiest. It fit him better somehow."How'd it go?" Logan asked.
