I nodded, trying to take it all in while also fighting the urge to leap out of the SUV and run back home. What was I thinking, agreeing to move here when I hadn’t even met anyone in his family first?
Mountains painted the midnight landscape as far as the eye could see. It should have been beautiful and welcoming, but an odd sense of impending doom told me this wouldn’t be the wonderful welcome he thought it would be.
“Blake,” Parker said, shooting me a curious glance. “Are you okay?”
“Of course,” I grinned, attempting to keep the fear and urge to puke from showing on my face.
“Then why do you look like I just told you we’re getting married?”
The smirk on his face eased the tension in my body just a little. “Well, we did come out here with the intent of starting over.”
“Just not getting married right away. Trust me, I haven’t called your family for a shotgun wedding.”
My head snapped so fast toward the passenger window at his words that I nearly pulled a muscle in my neck. If only he knew how close we were to using that phrase.
“Here we are,” he announced, stopping at the open gates of the ranch.
An emblem of Murky Falls Ranch greeted us on either side of the entrance, sealing my fate. There was no turning back now.
“It’s been years since I was home,” he murmured. “It’ll be good to see everyone.”
In order to do that, we’d have to actually drive forward, but I wasn’t exactly yelling at him to get moving. The delay was the only thing holding me together at the moment.
But just as I thought that, he pulled through the gates toward my doom.

Not only did I land myself a house rental for as long as I needed, but I ended up with a neighbor who insisted on feeding a stray dog on my property, convinced he was mine.




Cash ignored me and continued. “Right now, he’s injured and needs rest and a doctor’s supervision. He’s still considered in critical condition. I need a team that can go to him since he can’t be moved.”
“I’m all over that, boss,” I said enthusiastically. “Who’s with me?”
No one responded and Cash looked pleadingly at all of them. “Really, anyone that’s willing will get overtime.”
“Boss, we all know what we signed up for when we took this job,” IRIS said, “but this is just insanity.”
“You blow shit up for a living,” Lock snorted.
“Yeah, but on my terms. This guy is an assassin. I don’t need to wake up with a knife in my back, or worse, have him bring heat down on us from past jobs.”
I stood this time, thinking someone would join me. “Again, I’m all over this.”
“He’s psychotic,” Cash sighed.
“I’m psychotic.”
“He doesn’t play well with others.”
I slapped my hands against my chest and grinned. “Neither do I!”
“It’s a long job. Keeping him alive is only phase one of the job.”
“Phase me in,” I smirked.
Cash looked around. “I really need a three man team on this. Three people that can work well together,” he emphasized.
“Boss,” I chuckled, glancing around the room at the others. “I’m sort of getting the feeling you don’t want me on this job.”
“What about you, Jack? This is the sort of job your team takes.”
I stood there a little pissed that he was talking around me as if I wasn’t here, like I wasn’t volunteering to take a job that everyone else clearly wasn’t on board with.
“Ya know, we do black ops,” Jack answered. “This is babysitting.”
I rushed around the table, getting right in Cash’s face. I’d make him send me if it was the last thing I did. “Boss, you know I’m the man for the job. I’m great under pressure and with annoying assholes.”
“Yes, but we’re trying to keep this one alive. If you kill him, that sort of defeats the purpose of the job.”
“Hey, I’m a very likable guy,” I said defensively.
“Yes,” he nodded slowly. “To people that know you.”
“So, send me with…” I glanced around the room, trying to figure out who would best work with me. “Rae and IRIS.”
“No,” Rae stood up. “I’m not going on a long mission with Fox. Not gonna happen.”
“IRIS, you can set explosives all around the house,” I said excitedly. “It’ll be just like old times.”
“Yeah, as fun as it sounds to blow someone up, I’d rather shoot myself than go on a long assignment with an assassin.”
“Seriously?” I asked the whole room incredulously. “Am I the only one that sees the benefit of this? To get inside the mind of a killer and pick his brain apart?”
“We sort of already have that with you,” Slider answered. “I think that’s enough to last a lifetime.”











“So, no problems on the way home?” he asked, turning to face us.
“Nope. We got away clean.”
“And that?” he jerked his thumb at the back.
I cringed slightly. “He had an…” I glanced over at Eli for the best wording.
“An adverse reaction to the mummy.”
“Right,” I nodded.
“Like…he touched it and broke out in hives?”
“Don’t even say that shit,” Eli said quickly, keeping his voice low. “He already thinks we’re all under some ancient Egyptian curse. We don’t need to put any more thoughts in his head.”
Cash crossed his arms over his chest and looked at us inquiringly. “And why does he think he’s under a curse?”
I snorted, not even sure how to answer that. “He just started freaking out because we made him sit in the back with the sarcophagus. Then he started reading out ancient curses and it spiraled out of control from there.”
“So…nothing actually happened.”
I shot a look over at Eli, remembering the locusts. Scratching the back of my head, I told him what happened. “Well…when we left the safe house, there might have been a swarm of locusts, and he may have been under the influence of some drugs that may have led him to believe that the swarm was a hell of a lot bigger than it was.”
“How big was it?” he asked, his brows furrowed.
I shrugged lightly, but it was Eli that stepped in. “No more than a ten mile radius.”
“Fifteen at best,” I added.
“That’s…not a swarm. A swarm is literally like…around your head. Christ, no wonder he flipped out. And you hogtied him in the back of the van.”
“What the hell were we supposed to do? He was freaking out.”
“And then you laid him next to the fucking mummy,” he huffed. “Good work. You made your teammate go insane,” he said, clapping us both on the shoulders. “Remind me to never go on a mission with you again.”
He turned to leave. “Hey!” Eli shouted. “What the hell are we supposed to do with the sarcophagus?”
“Why don’t you put it in your room and sleep with it for the night. See how you feel in the morning,” he shouted over his shoulder.
I looked at Eli, still not sure what we were supposed to do with the fucking thing. “So…your room?”
