know, but I’m here, so use me.  Where do you want it?”
    “Dare, this is just my little bag with toiletries,” she protested.
    “Bullshit, this is a pretty big bag for just toiletries.”
    “Sylvia wouldn’t travel with something small.  She’s high maintenance.”
    “Okay, then so you won’t tell me where you want it, I’m putting it in the bathroom.”  He proceeded her into the bathroom and let out a low whistle. 
    “This is some bathroom.  I could go swimming in this tub.  Check this out, there’s two showers.”
    “Nope, one of those is a steam shower.”
    “You’ve got to be shitting me.  How cool is that?  I call dibs.”  Rylie couldn’t help but grin this time.  She had felt the same way the first time she’d seen one. 
    “Let me just freshen up, and it’s all yours, sailor.”
    “SEAL,” he corrected.
    “There’s a difference?”
    “Big time.  Anyone can be a sailor, but it takes a hell of a lot to go through BUD/S and become a SEAL.  Anyway, better not get used to saying either one.”
    “Yeah, you’re right.”  He turned around and closed the door.

    H e pulled out his phone and activated the scrambler. 
    “It’s about fucking time you called.”  Clint was pissed.
    “Ahh, Clint, you missed me.  Does Lydia know you have a crush on me?”
    “We both did,” Lydia interrupted.  “And yes, I know you all have boy crushes on one another.  I think it’s cute.”
    “How can you guys be upset I haven’t checked in?  Do you have a tracker on me?”
    “Yeah, but it doesn’t have audio and video,” Lydia explained.  Darius shuddered.  The idea of his friends having that kind of access to his life was not appealing.
    “Dare, give me a report.”  Darius straightened at the sound of Mason Gault’s voice.
    “We had dinner with Albert and his boy toy here at their hotel.  Rylie and I just got to our suite, and she checked to make sure there is no surveillance.  They’ve bought everything so far.  We’re going to the island tomorrow.”
    “That’s great.”
    “Lydia and Clint did a great job making the background spotless, and Jack could start a reality TV show doing make-overs.”  Everyone laughed.  “Are Finn and Drake in place?” Darius asked.
    “Roger that.”
    “How’s Rylie holding up?” Lydia asked.
    “She’s amazing.  I don’t know how she manages to act the part of Sylvia.  She just puts on this Bitch Goddess persona and has me believing she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.  I would definitely believe she handled the slave trade.”
    “Dammit, Dare, don’t call it that!” Lydia’s voice trembled with anger.
    “I’m sorry,” Darius quickly apologized.  “I meant human trafficking.”
    “Don’t forget to check in when you get to the island,” Mason commanded.
    “I won’t,” Darius promised.  “By the way, your report on Rylie wasn’t complete.  She had a sister who was deaf.  See what you can find out about her.”
    “What?  I can’t believe we missed that.”  Darius heard the upset in Lydia’s voice.  He knew how much of a personal affront it was to their hacking skills that they overlooked something like that.
    “Lydia, calm down,” Clint told his fiancé.  “You know Rylie must have somehow erased all record of her.”
    “I don’t give a shit.  We still should have found her.”  Darius could practically hear Lydia grinding her teeth.  “By the time you get to the island, we’ll have info on her, I promise you.”
    “Sounds good.  Look, I’ve got to go.”
    “Don’t forget to fucking check in ASAP next time,” Clint growled.
    “I won’t, Mom.” 
    Lydia was laughing as Darius hung up his phone.
    Now work was out of the way, he had time to think of other things, and that was Rylie. All the time he had been talking to his friends, he had been staring at the bathroom door.  He might have been enticed by the steam shower, but now Rylie was
