“No hard feelings, you know, about what happened back at the office.”
“It wasn’t you, Cade.” Gray huddled down in the dark. “I need to ask, how are you able to balance the team and your family?”
There was a short hesitation and a long sigh. “Melly swore she’d never date a man who wore a badge, but then she realized this is who I am and who she fell in love with. But I’ve had to make safer choices, bro. Not take unnecessary chances like I used to. That’s a promise I made to her.” They were leaning against a fence.
“Does she know you’re here today? Taking an unnecessary chance?” Gray asked.
“Hell, man. This ain’t an unnecessary mission. We’re saving your woman. Remember how you and the team helped when it was Melly’s life on the line? I owe each of you a huge favor.”
“Are you ready to do this?”
“I was born ready.”
