Nowhere Safe

CHAPTER 53



Sabrina’s cell phone rang as she’d just pulled off her clothes to step into the shower. She wrapped a towel around her body and answered it. “Slye.”

“I just opened the box with what’s left of the laser weapon used on the airliner.” Gage stopped there, offering no hint of whether he was angry or pleased.

“We don’t have Rikker.”

“I know.”

How could he know? She’d find out later. “But we will.”

“I know that, too.”

This time, she let the silence grow until he said what he had on his mind. Talking to him with no clothes on brought back memories of erotic phone calls when they’d been on opposite sides of the world.

There were times when their conversations had been as languorous as their bed play. This one needed to end before it began to live and breathe.

He gave in first. “Have I earned back any of your trust?”

“You scuffed the surface. Takes more than a shot at Rikker.”

“That’s all I needed to know. Enjoy your shower.”
