Since they were alone, Jagger hit mute on his vest, and then did the same on hers.
“I love you,” he said.
Maura knew he was prefacing something with that, but she wasn’t sure what.
“I know, handsome. You’re being quiet. Are we good?” she asked, figuring that was what this was about.
He leaned over and kissed her.
“We’re good. I just worry about you. I don’t mean to be an asshole and bossy,” he said.
Then, he realized that was a lie.
“Okay, I totally mean to be an asshole and bossy. That’s kind of my thing.”
She snorted.
“It’s hot on you. Don’t stress it. I know that you’re stressed out, and this caught you off-guard.”
Yeah, she could say that again.
Reaching for her, he held her hand in his, and they watched the two people get to the front of the house. They sawJinx holding a black box in her other hand, and they knew all the cameras on the street went dead.
They didn’t see Eve, but then again, they absolutely wouldn’t. She was a Snake, after all.
“I was thinking,” he said.
She glanced over.
“About?” she asked, suspecting it would be about her being in danger.
Jagger went there.
“When we finish up this mess, whenever that is, how about we take a family vacation? I’d love to see my wife in a bikini all pregnant with my child. I’m sure Dianna and Michael would love to go to the beach.”
She smiled.
“Really?”
He nodded.
“We’ll have to go somewhere I’m not recognizable, as Mikey O’, but I think it would be fun.”
She leaned over and kissed him.
“Your wife just so happens to want to be in a bikini for you, sexy Mob man. Maybe later, we can get naked and practice for the beach.”
He grinned.
“Oh, well, I’ll practice for anything with you.”
She winked at him.
Then, focused on the team.
It was go time.
“Here they go,” Maura said, hoping they didn’t get their asses into trouble.
