Guardian Ranger (Shadow Agents 2)

Sydney offered him her small palm. His fingers closed around hers. He shook her hand once. “Welcome to the team,” she said.
“Sydney.”
And there was another teammate. Gunner had just stepped
outside, and he sure was glaring at Cale. Or rather, glaring at Cale’s hand. The hand that was still holding Sydney’s.
“Great news, Gunner,” Sydney said as she pulled her hand free and looked back over her shoulder at the other man. “Cale’s joining the team.”
“Great,” Gunner agreed, but he sounded anything but pleased. Then Cale met the other man’s stare. Saw the very clear don’t touch glare and got the picture.
He could join the team, but he needed to stay away from Sydney Sloan.
Message received.
Then Logan was there, closing out the team. His gaze swept over them. “We haven’t tracked down the man who put out the hits on the EOD agents yet.”
With both Wyatt and Reed Montgomery dead, that tracking sure would be harder.
“But we’ll find him. The EOD doesn’t stop.”
“And we don’t give up,” Sydney said.
Gunner’s gaze was on her. “No,” he agreed, “we don’t.”
Cale couldn’t wait for their next mission. He was ready to get back in action. He glanced back up at the sky. The streaks of blood-red were all but gone.
Maybe...just maybe...he’d be able to wipe off the blood from his own hands. One day.
His sister had gotten her happy ending.
One day...perhaps he’d get what he wanted, too.
