J.T. didn\u2019t have the same grace.\u00a0 \u201cYou\u2019re going to send your husband out chasing crazy with one of our other top tactical brains when we could be attacked at any second of any day?\u00a0 What are you thinking?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCameron will be here and so will you,\u201d I said, sliding my arm around Thom\u2019s waist as I turned my attention to J.T.\u00a0 \u201cBesides, if we listen to Phelan\u2019s insane rambling, the major target is him, not us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t believe him,\u201d J.T. said, his eyes narrowing.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course not.\u00a0 But it\u2019s not me that needs convincing, it\u2019s him.\u00a0 If we get attacked while he\u2019s gone, so be it.\u00a0 We\u2019ll have to turn the tide without him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thom grimaced.\u00a0 \u201cI don\u2019t like the sound of that.\u201d<\/p>\n
I probably shouldn\u2019t have brought it up, but then again, what choice did I have?<\/i>\u00a0 I shook my head slightly.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019ll be fine, Thom.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJust like you were fine after the last fight?\u201d<\/p>\n
I winced and kept my mouth shut.<\/p>\n
J.T. sighed.\u00a0 \u201cI shouldn\u2019t have brought any of this up, should I?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, you really shouldn\u2019t have,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n
Thom shook his head.\u00a0 \u201cNo, he\u2019s right.\u00a0 It\u2019s too dangerous to take all of us away from here just to make sure that Phelan doesn\u2019t somehow get himself killed.\u00a0 We\u2019ll find another way.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if there isn\u2019t another way?\u201d\u00a0 I snapped.\u00a0 \u201cWhat if this is the only way to convince him that he\u2019s being a fool?\u201d<\/p>\n
Thom set his jaw.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019ll find another way.\u201d<\/p>\n
I could have punched him as I fumed, inwardly cursing his stubbornness.\u00a0 I loved it and I hated it all at once\u2014just like I always had.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf your way doesn\u2019t work, we\u2019re going with Rory\u2019s,\u201d I said, then pushed to my feet and started to walk away, coffee cup still locked in my hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen we\u2019d better hope that our way works,\u201d Thom called after me.\u00a0 I just barely heard his voice as he turned back to J.T.\u00a0 \u201cWe have to come up with something that\u2019ll work.\u00a0 I won\u2019t leave her here to die alone.\u201d<\/p>\n
I winced but kept walking.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t want to know what he\u2019d seen.\u00a0 Sometimes, the visions were just too terrible bear.<\/p>\n
Real or not, sometimes it was just too terrible to bear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
