AT.

THE.

WHITE HOUSE.

That was huge.

Mercenaries didn’t go out to places like that where there were in-depth background checks and people staring at them all day.

But the man was.

“Are you just popping in for funsies on MATE?” Eve said. “Not that I mind. I like your face,” she said.

Elizabeth grinned.

“Same, Adder. Only, this is for official business, unfortunately. First, Doctor Seville is heading to Chartres shortly. He’s picking up Gamble to transport to his private home for in-depth therapy. Greyson has a little package for you to give the man.”

Greyson held out his hand, and Heath pulled a folder from a messenger bag he was wearing, and then, he handed it to Greyson.

Next came an envelope.

Oh, and all of the Marines knew what it would be. They could spot a military record a mile away.

Elizabeth was to the point.

“That’s the ONLY hard copy of Gamble’s medical and military records. When I say that it was a bitch to get my hands on that, since he worked undercover for the CIA, I’m not exaggerating.”

Oh, boy.

How she pulled that off, they had no clue.

Then again, her boss was Axelle, and she had done her time in Spook-ville.

“And?” Merry asked, not sure why she was giving it to them.

Elizabeth explained.

“He’s wiped. When Dr. Seville is done with Gamble’s treatment, he’s to destroy it. Gamble Holloway no longer exists. He can disappear, do what he wants, or ask for further help. I’ll get him new creds, and he can go be a new person—AFTER SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT. I’m not losing another Marine to PTSD.”

They got it.

She had a soft spot.

For them, that was a good thing.

“What’s in the envelope?” Zayn asked.

She didn’t miss a beat.

“I sent a bunch of friendship bracelets to share with you guys since I’m that kind of loving and sweet, Genius. God. I know why they call you crayon munchers. What do you think, Zayn?”

He snorted.

“I know it’s cash, you cuntasaurus. What’s it for?” he asked, amused by Elizabeth.

She explained.

“I paid for his treatment, but that’s for the extras. He’s going to need a new life, and that means clothes, food, and a place to stay afterward. Poe is going to get him settled when he’s done.”
