“That I have to take the wind speed and distance to target into consideration, not just the site picture.” He knew he was distracted. Hell, anybody could tell he was distracted, and the hickey on his neck was only part of the reason why. The image of the car bomb was lodged firmly in his mind, blocking the way for rational thought andconversation.
“Okay then, fire whenready.”
Logan looked back down the barrel of the gun to his target some hundred yards away and pulled the trigger, emptying hismagazine.
“Bring it back,”saidHawk.
Logan hopped to his feet and reeled in thetarget.
Hawk spit on the ground. “I’m guessing whatever is on your mind has a kick ass pair of tatas and a cooch that justwon’tquit.”
Logan grinned. Easier to talk about sex than death, any day. “That,shedoes.”
“If you are in the field, shit like that will get you killed.” The paper target came into view, a hole the size of an egg blown through the heart. Hawk whistled. “Nicegrouping.”
“If this is me getting killed, maybe I ought to think about those kick ass tatas and cooch moreoften.”
Hawk met his eyes. “Do it again, smart ass. Two hundred yardsthistime.”
Logan nodded and sent another target down the outdoorrange.
“We rely on each other in the field, Logan. We need the complete attention of the entire team. Frankly I don’t give a shit if you’re good at multitasking. I want your whole brain with me when the bullets areflying.”
Logan nodded. Hawk was testing him. The other guys were always testing him, and Logan appreciated it. Not everybody who wanted to learn this shit got trained by some of the best in the world. And if that meant he had to take some of their crap, then sobeit.
“So, tell me about this girl,”saidHawk.
“Woman.”
Hawk chuckled. “I’ve seen you at the bars. The girls love that brainy geek thing you’ve got going on. So why do you pick thecougars?”
“Don’t make it sound like they’re hunting for prey. I picked her because Iwantedher.”
“What’s theattraction?”
“A girl doesn’t know what she wants. Awomandoes.”
“Youmeansex?”
It was Logan’s turn to laugh.“I meaneverything.”
“And this womanwantedyou?”
An image of Gemma riding him in the night popped into his mind. “Oh yeah,shedid.”
“How long you beenseeingher?”
“Just one night. But I’m going to see her again, don’t youworry.”
Hawk shook his head. “If I didn’t have the most beautiful Academy Award nominee in my bed every night, I might be a little jealous ofyou,boy.”
“You won the freaking lottery with that one. When are you going to make an honest woman outofher?”
“Just as soon as she lets me. She wants to get through shooting one more movie first so she’ll have time to plan everything. She’ll be on location in Paris for sixmonths.”
“Damn, that’srough.”
“Nothing we can’t handle if we’re going to make it ‘till death do us part. Now firethatgun.”
