She winked at him.
“You know it. We have a son and daughter to take care of. I’m not leaving any non-Marine, or Marine behind.”
Boone spoke next.
“I’m still in. I’m with Moe, Larry, and Crazy,” he said, pointing at Zayn.
The man laughed.
“Ditto, Major. I’m reporting for duty, and my sweet Stella is with us on this.”
She closed her eyes.
“I’ll do my part with setting the explosives and holding down the fort in case anyone needs a doctor.”
Maura knew how hard this was. Their faith in her was overwhelming.
It was time to get to work.
“Everyone who hasn’t taken downtime, take it. Everyone else is going to get ready. I need a car for the men to take, Remmy. Steal me one on your way back, or better yet, let us use that van. It’ll be too big a lure for them. It’s an easy way to transport.”
“Yeah, no one wants to carry the dead weight,” Jagger said, looking right at Zayn.
“HEY!”
“Little, am I?” he asked.
The man just laughed.
Remmy knew his orders.
“I’ll take Calyx back and do the job. Don’t worry, Guys, I’ll get that van tagged after they scan it.”
He saluted the Major.
Calyx reassured her.
“I’ll get it set up on my end, and then, I’ll reach out to you. Hookers are asleep at this time of the day. It might take a while to get a response.”
“We will be on standby. Text me when it’s time to head to The Underground for that meeting.”
Oh, she would.
“I’ll make it official by really playing it up,” Calyx offered.
“What do we owe you?” she asked.
She smiled.
“Today, I was abducted by a sexy man. Maybe get him to do that again but toss in dinner, and we’ll call it even.”
With that, she walked out.
And they all stared at Remington.
“What?” he asked.
“You heard the lady. She’s waiting to be abducted. Maybe this time, take her on a date,” Rogue suggested.
