“So, we tell him that we have intel and that we need him to sit outside of her townhouse. He’s not stupid, so he should be able to piece it together. They head out at ten every day for coffee at Café Du Monde. He’ll see her and Violet, and maybe he’ll notice she has a baby bump, and then, we don’t break our promise to Eve of not telling him. We are showing him.”

“That’s fairly simple,” Zayn said. “And hella tricky, Major.”

Yeah, well, sometimes, you had to do the least expected thing.

“Sometimes, Marine, simple is the best and in this case, it’s the least hurtful way,” she admitted.

That was the truth.

“So, we put him on the house, and he’ll see her. If we’re lucky, he’ll figure it out. If he doesn’t…well, maybe he’ll think that Chevy is focused on her. Dakota is a dick, but he’s not soulless. He’d protect Eve and Violet if they were in danger. We can’t forget that he’s a good guy despite his self-deprecating behavior. ”

She had a point.

Dakota wouldn’t let anyone get hurt. It just wasn’t in his nature, and why the Sarah thing was killing him.

“This might work,” Rogue said. “If it doesn’t, we’re going to have to help him figure it out. It’s clear that he’s not putting the pieces together.”

That was an understatement.

At this rate, the baby would be in school before he figured it out.

When her husband’s fingers found their way between her legs, and into the wetness, she knew they needed to get out of there and be alone.

Someone was getting brazen.

She needed a distraction.

“I also have another plan,” she said. “It involves our team and catching Chevy. Only, I have to discuss it with my husband when I work through the details. It’s dangerous.”

Jagger lifted a brow.

“How dangerous?”

She said one word, and it sent chills down his body.

“Very.”

Well, that was ominous.

Before he could say anything, they all heard the beep of the alarm system as someone opened the gate.

“That’s going to be Mr. Cranky,” Tommy said. “Buckle up.”

Yeah, no kidding.

When Jagger whispered filth in her ear, again, she knew they needed to leave the room.

“You guys point him at the house. I’m going to go discuss my plan with Jagger, and I don’t want him to think I’ve been part of this. He’s always telling me I scheme in my sleep.”

Well, she kinda did.

That was her job.

She continued.

“If he asks where we are, tell him…”

Jagger stood up, forcing her to stand.
