“I go in with Azrael, who takes the focus off of me when we get to the bunker, and I take down Tanis after he gets the door opened.”

“What if you’re cuffed?” Justice snarled.

“I’ve gotten out of them.”

“What if it’s zip ties behind your back?” The stubborn tilt of the man’s chin let him know this might take a while and time was not something they had.

“I’m small enough to step through my arms.” He smoothed both palms over Justice’s massive chest. “You trust me, don’t you?”

“Of course.” The man frowned and jerked him closer. “It’s others I don’t trust.”

“I’ll have Crow with me.”

“That does not make me any happier.”

“Why?” he laughed.

“I’ve seen the way he looks at you.”

“He does not,” Fisher snorted and pulled the man’s head down.

“He better not,” Justice said and kissed his mouth.

It wasn’t a long kiss, but it was a possessive one, and Fisher’s stomach did flip-flops.

“We can do this.” His heart was in his throat. He’d never felt this way before about another human being and now that he had, he was going to try and hold onto it come hell or high water. “I have you to come back to.”

That didn’t seem to register at first and then Justice’s eyes glittered and he was held tightly again before being placed a few inches away.

“How are you going to let us know when to breach?” Justice grumbled, looking like a little kid.

“Crow will take me and Az in and when Tanis takes us to the bunker, Crow will alert you.”

“That’s the plan,” Crow said from a few feet down the hallway.

Justice rounded on the guy. “How are you going to know when the bunker door is opened when you can’t even get close?”

“I’ll take out Garrett and whomever else is in my way,” Crow said and there was no mistaking the promise in the man’s tone.

Viper came around the corner with Stone and Justice released a sigh that signaled his internal war was over. Oh, the man didn’t like it, but he wasn’t going to object.

Fisher smiled up at Justice. “Let’s get this done.”

“Then barbecue at my place?” Justice reluctantly smiled back.

“I’m in,” Fisher teased.

“I’m down for some barbecue,” one of Crow’s men said, rubbing his hands together.

“Wait until you see the spread he has,” Fisher said to those gathering around as he jerked his thumb at Justice. “It will definitely fit everybody here.”

And before Justice could do more than grumble about wanting alone time with him, plans were made.

Viper then told them to clean up, get some rest, and that they would head out at dusk.

“I’d let you carry a weapon concealed, but Garrett is going to want to pat you both down,” Crow said as he pulled up to a posh country estate located one hour and twenty minutes from Ventura.

Not only was Stone bringing every available member of Erebus with him, but Savage and Thane would be on site. Dave had called Real and the Genesis commander was on his way, bringing with him the men he had available.
