“You need any help?”

“The situation is under control.”

“Roger that. And how does Emma feel about spending the night with you? She didn’t seem too thrilled with you at the pub.”

“What can I say? Rescue a woman from the bad guys a few times and they change their tune.”

Mason chuffed out a laugh. “Right. I’m sure she’s crawling all over you—not. Better make sure you get a room with two beds—she sure the hell wasn’t looking at you with interest earlier. Will you be on the flight out in the morning?”

“Unlikely. I want to lay low for the while. Make sure she’s safe. And don’t worry about our sleeping arrangements,” he muttered, irritation rising in him. Where Emma slept was nobody’s business but his own. He sure the hell didn’t want Mason imagining her naked body beneath the sheets.

“Bring her back to Little Creek with you. It’s safe there with half the damn Navy around. Hell, we’ve got our team, Ice’s team—we’ll watch out for her.”

“I damn well might. Better than letting these assholes chase her all over London. Even if she turned over the papers she has, they’ve seen her. They know where she lives. What she looks like. It’s not safe for her to stay here alone.”

“Agreed. Let me know if you need backup. I can head out and meet you wherever the hell you’re going.”

“Will do.”

Hunter heard commotion through the phone as Mason muttered a curse. “Maybe I should just head to a pub and find another woman to spend the night with. What the hell—finish off our little UK stop in style. Doesn’t look like I’ll get back to my room anytime soon. And you’re off playing hero to the woman you rescued.”

“Yeah, just how I prefer to spend my nights,” Hunter muttered. “Outrunning men shooting at me.”

“You made a hell of an impression here,” Mason quipped.

“Not the kind I wanted. Over and out,” Hunter said.

He gripped the steering wheel after they’d said their goodbyes, glancing at the road signs. Stealing a glance over at Emma, sleeping soundly beside him.

Hell.

What exactly had this woman gotten herself mixed up in?
