Jinx moved fast, and Rogue actually jumped at the motion.

It made her laugh.

“God, I love you.”

He laughed.

Nervously.

“I love you too.”

Maura just shook her head.

Earlier, as her husband had her trapped against the bathroom sink, while he was having his wicked way with her, she’d been trying to focus on the other plan.

Only, someone’s dick should be registered as a dangerous weapon.

“Anyway, we need…”

Before she could finish, the alarms began going off all around them.

Oh, Jesus.

Someone had breached their security.

Everyone jumped, and Zayn recognized that it was the alarms attached to the courtyard. They had the top-of-the-line security to make sure they were safe after their last run-in with El Gato’s men and another not-so-nice snake.

As he grabbed the tablet, his face said it all. There was a whole lot of confusion going on there.

Nothing was on the screen, but there was something out of place.

“What’s that?” he asked, seeing the paper.

Jagger saw what he was pointing at.

“Can we make it bigger?”

Zayn did just that.

They zoomed in and stared at the big screen TV on the kitchen wall.

The paper definitely said something.

‘Turn Around.’

When they did, and they pulled their guns, they found someone they didn’t expect to find there.

It was Elizabeth Blackhawk.

“Hey, Fam,” she said, amused by the fact that they didn’t even hear her enter the house.

Zayn shook his head.

“That’s exactly how you get yourself killed. You sneak up on a bunch of paranoid mercenaries who shoot first and ask questions later. Are you out of your mind? What if we shot you?”

When they heard another voice, they turned back toward the courtyard.

“Someone’s jumpy,” Ivan said. “And I can safely say that you wouldn’t even get a chance to shoot her,” he admitted, implying that her Marines wouldn’t let that happen.
