“Don’t make me call Mom,” El threatened.
She shot her brother a look, but she went off with Rami.
Kap crossed his arms over his chest and stared her brother and her partner down.
“Are you two going to tell me what’s going on?”
They shared a glance that had him grinding his teeth again. Spies. They were always such a pain in the ass.
“It’s Ed’s story to tell,” El said.
“Are you fucking kidding me? You’re going to go with that?”
Before either of them could respond to his comment, his phone went off.
It was Adam.
“Be right back. Go nowhere.”
Then he stomped off. Spies think they could lie to him or hide things. She was almost fucking killed, and they were still thinking they could control the issue.
“Is Eden okay?” Adam asked.
“Yeah. The EMTs are checking her out right now.”
“No sign of the shooter?”
“No. It’s out here by the Makapu’u Lookout. Dark as shit. I would guess he or she was up on the ridge. She said the shot came from behind.”
“Okay. I’m sending out my people to look around, but you have a new assignment.”
Fuck, they were going to take him off the assignment. “What?”
“You are now going to stick to her. If she’s a target…you need to make sure that she stays safe.”
“Got it. Her brother and partner are here.”
“I wouldn’t expect anything less. More than likely, they will want to handle her protection, and while I’m okay with that, and they are employed by the best on the island, I want our eyes on her.”
“Okay.”
“I’ll call someone out for tonight, then we will also go over the scene once the sun comes up.”
Rami came walking over. “Rami’s here. If Eden wants to go home, he can stay here and oversee the scene.”
“That will work. Make sure you keep her alive.”
“You can count on that.”
He hung up and looked at Rami. “Alpha’s coming to handle the scene, but you’re in charge until then.
“Sounds good. Your woman doesn’t have a concussion.”
“She’s not mine.”
Rami rolled his eyes and walked away to start the investigation.
Kap turned and found Eden’s brother and partner staring at him. Although Adam didn’t say it, he had a feeling that El was probably a target too, being a former CIA asset just like his sister.
