“ She graduated second from the academy. That’s pretty good. Let’s see, after that she was stationed in all around Alabama and Georgia before ending up in Miami, where she has as many commendations as she does complaints.”
“ Complaints for what?”
“ When she arrests them, seems she likes to rough up the drug dealers who peddle to kids. It also looks like she was the reason for some very big busts. The last one was just a week ago. However, there was an issue with her beating up the drug soldier she was arresting. They patched it up by saying it was self-defense during an assault. She was transferred immediately after that.”
“ Why was she transferred here? We don’t have any dealers here.”
“ Apparently we do. She’s looking into an S2 drug highway that they think starts here in Keeneston or possibly in Lexington.” Cade leaned back in his chair and turned off the computer.
“ What are you going to do about Miss DEA?” Marshall crossed his legs and shot him a grin. He was so glad Marshall found this all so amusing.
“ I think I’ll help her where I can. I do have a certain skill level that could be useful. At least I can try to keep her safe.”
“ I don’t think you have to worry about that! Isn’t she the one protecting you?” Marshall laughed. “Are you going to tell her you know who she is?”
“ That would take all the fun out of it.” Cade smiled. He had his own idea of how to handle Miss DEA.
Annie couldn’t believe it. Shock had her frozen as she stared at the computer monitor in front of her. “Son of a…,” she groaned. She buried her face in her hands and muttered, “I told him to learn self-defense, and he’s a freaking national hero with a higher clearance level than I could ever dream of. He must have gotten one heck of a good laugh at my expense after I told him he couldn’t protect himself from a kid.”
She lifted her head from her hands and sat there for a minute staring at his military photo. Wow. She might have to make that her screensaver. He was lean and muscled, his face tight and his hazel eyes serious as he stared into the camera wearing his Ranger’s beret.
“ Well, I might as well find out who else is in town.” She tried to remember the guy’s name Lily introduced her too. “Ahmed, that’s it.” She typed in his name and gasped at the data that came back.
No wonder the name sounded familiar. He was famous for his interrogations. No one knew how he operated, but he had led the security teams that kept the Rahmen family safe and the country of Rahmi free of terrorist activity for the last ten years.
She searched Cade’s brothers’ names and couldn’t stop the giggle that escaped. She couldn’t decide whether to be angry or embarrassed at herself for thinking she was the only one who knew danger and the seriousness of law enforcement, so she just laughed. What else could she do when she was actually surrounded by military heroes?
Annie pushed back her chair on the old hardwood floor and walked over to the front window. What must he be thinking of her? More importantly, how was she going to face him again? She had insulted him and he’d never said anything. Not too many men with his resume, or without for that matter, would let a woman take a bite out of their pride like that.
“Well done, Cade Davies. Or should I say Captain Davies.” He was definitely different from all the other men she knew. Maybe he wasn’t as bad as she first thought.
Chapter Six
Cade placed the royal blue KHS hat on his head and took a deep breath. He hated television interviews, especially because he knew they would ask him about the dismissal of three of his players and the horrible loss they suffered last week during the scrimmage against a far inferior team. It had been a rough couple of weeks.
“ Hiya, Coach.”
“ Hi, Steph. What’s up?” he asked his fellow science teacher.
Stephanie Long taught chemistry. She was nice and
