Undercover Captor (Shadow Agents 5)

In that emotionless voice he said, “I was furious. I wanted to destroy those men because they’d hurt you.” He paused. “I did destroy them.”

There was such a dark, dangerous intensity clinging to him. Drew was dressed all in black, and he seemed to be a part of the shadows.

“When I saw you on the rooftop,” Tina told him, “I knew that I’d be okay.”

His lips thinned. “Stop having so much faith in me.”

“I can’t.” This was the part he needed to understand. “And I need you to have the same faith in me. I won’t let you down, Drew. I can do this.”

His eyelids flickered. “What if you have another attack? What if they grab you and put a gun to your head? Are you going to be able to ‘do this’ when they’re ready to shoot a bullet into your brain?”

Tina swallowed. Not such a nice visual. “I’ll do anything necessary.”

“Now you sound like Mercer.” But his hand had lifted. Curled around her shoulder. “I don’t want you doing anything necessary. I want you saving lives. I want you safe.” He shook his head. “I should have known, though. It seems like everything I touch gets destroyed.”

“You don’t destroy me.” He made her stronger. He made her—

“We’ve confirmed the location,” Logan said as he strode toward them.

Drew’s hand tightened.

“We’ll make sure there are no civilians nearby,” Gunner assured them. “We’ll clear the area, damn quietly.”

Because if the building e

xploded, they didn’t want civilians getting hurt.

“Time to roll,” Logan said.

Tina nodded.

Logan added, “Dylan Foxx is going to meet us on scene. We’ll surround the building and make sure we’re ready to advance on your command, Drew.”

Drew stepped back. He wasn’t looking at Logan. His focus seemed to be just for Tina. “You’re getting out of this alive, Doc.”

Tina grabbed his hands. “So are you.”

But he didn’t answer her, and a chill encased Tina’s heart.

THE TWO-STORY BRICK building waited at the end of the street. A tall, chain-link fence, topped with barbed wire, circled the property.

Four cars were parked outside the building. Two SUVs. Two vans.

One man stood at the main door. Even from a distance, Drew had no trouble seeing the bulge of his weapon.

“Got a man at the back door,” Gunner said into Drew’s earpiece. “And one canvassing the east side.”

“And the west,” came Logan’s voice. They were all linked, but the transmitter in Drew’s ear was so small the enemy shouldn’t be able see it, not until it was too late.

Drew climbed from the rental car. He walked around the vehicle and opened Tina’s door. When she stepped out, the sunlight glinted off her glasses. Her dark hair brushed over her cheek. She was pale, but her eyes were determined.

She was risking everything for his family.

“Doc, you are the most incredible woman I’ve ever met.”

She blinked and looked a little lost as a furrow appeared between her eyes.
