Indigo had tried torefuse the drugs, but the doctor had insisted.He wanted her to rest so her body could recuperate, and she would—once she assured herself Griffin was okay.She remembered all the bullets flying and then seeing Abdullahi about to kill Van Houten.Her only thought had been to get Griffin off the boat before they were blown to smithereens.
The last thing she remembered was running toward him and then excruciating pain when she barreled into him.The next thing she knew, she’d woken up on a boat, or maybe she’d been hallucinating, because she thought she remembered Jackson being there.That didn’t make sense.Had Griffin been standing over her, or had it been a dream?If it was real, she recalled that he’d thanked her for saving his life.Seems he must have done the same for her.She didn’t remember hitting the water or how she had gotten into the boat.
Her lids were drooping.She would only sleep for a minute, then she’d get out of bed and find him.She had to know if he was okay.
Something woke Indigo.It was a familiar scent.Comforting.She opened her eyes to the most beautiful sight in the world.Griffin.
“Hey.”
“Hey, babe.”He took her hand.“How are you feeling?”
“Good, now that you’re here.But that could be the drugs talking.”
He smiled, and she started to pull him down for a kiss, but she paused upon seeing movement behind him.
“You scared us to death,” Evangeline scolded.
She blinked to make sure she wasn’t seeing things.She wasn’t.Evangeline Charvet and Jackson Rushing were standing by her bed.It hadn’t been a hallucination.
“I must be injured worse than I thought if you guys are here.”
Jackson patted her leg.“You aren’t.When we couldn’t get in touch with you, we went looking for you.”
“How did you find me?”
“It’s what we do,” Jackson stated.
Her eyelids started to droop again.She wanted to find out how they had tracked her down.She needed to ask Griffin how he’d gotten her to the boat.Jordy was on her mind too.Instead of posing questions, she fell into a deep slumber.
Chapter Thirty-Two
Evangeline led themen out of Indigo’s room.She’d seen the way Indy’s eyes had lit up when she’d spotted Griffin Decker.And she hadn’t missed the term of endearment he’d used for her.Evangeline sighed.She didn’t want to lose Indigo, but she wouldn’t stand in the way if she had a shot at true love.Evangeline had her chance once and blew it.
Jackson looked up from his phone.“They’ve arranged rooms for us to get some sleep.”
