She.
“Do you think they made us?” she asked, knowing they were following in the most obvious, obnoxious vehicle known to mankind.
This blacked-out Hummer with chrome all over it screamed‘man with small dick’or‘mercenary’.
Thankfully, only half of that was right.
At her question, Jagger paused. Honestly, he wasn’t one hundred percent sure at this point. For all he knew, these two idiots were leading them to a trap after picking up their tail.
Never trust a mercenary—especially one who worked forThe BlackStone Group.
“How far is the address from here?” he asked.
Maura tapped her vest, turning on their copilot in the crazy, MATE.
“Hey, MATE, calculate how far Thomas Lewiston’s address is from our location.”
Thankfully, it didn’t take her long.
“Major, the man’s home is three blocks West from your current location.”
Just as she was about to say something, Maura watched the two men park, and she drove right past them so as not to pique any suspicion.
As she did, Jagger was turned in his seat, watching them.
“I’m betting they are going to creep through yards and go there. They’re heading West.”
That seemed like the most obvious thing, and that meant that Maura knew what she needed to do.
Cut.
Them.
Off.
“We have to beat them there,” she said, heading West herself.
If they were lucky, they could get into the house before them.
‘We’re on our way, Major,” Zayn said over the com. “You’ll have backup in a few.”
That was good to know.
“MATE, what house am I looking for?” she asked, as she hauled ass the three blocks so they could get into position too.
The bottom line was that it was easier to ambush themINSIDE. These were two soldiers, and they wouldn’t go down easy.
They had served in Afghanistan, likely, since that was how they got hooked up with the man. They didn’t know how well they fought in a hand-to-hand fight.
Out in the open.
“Rogue,” she said, getting the man’s attention over the com.
“Yes, Major?” he asked.
Maura didn’t like going into situations where she wasn’t aware of the possible outcomes. There was just too little known about these two men.
She and Jagger could hold their own, but why risk it.
