sighed. “He and Ava have their hands full. Travis kindly offered to help out but it tells me that I need to hire another field man.”
    West stood and paced the kitchen, too restless to keep still. He was anxious to get on the road, find Gigi’s siblings, and then put an end to Morton reign of terror. But he was a cautious man and one thought kept running around in his brain.
    “What if this guy really brings it? If what Gigi says is true – and I don’t have any reason to believe it’s not – he wants her and he doesn’t care what he has to do to get her. He’s got badass men to do his bidding. And money. Which tells me he can buy even more people to do his dirty work. What if he sends an army? Are we prepared?”
    Jason didn’t laugh or scoff at the question. “Your job is to keep Gigi safe. Always remember that. If we get ambushed, you get her and run. Don’t worry about us, we can take care of ourselves. We’ll be loaded for bear and ready and willing to do what needs to be done.”
    West rubbed his throbbing temple. He hated the waiting around and was as anxious as Gigi to get this show on the road. “If anything happened to her…”
    “Love’s a bitch but what’s a man to do when he’s found the right one? You can tell your kids the story in twenty years.”
    Sitting straight up, West shook his head in denial. Marriage talk made him nervous. Jason was way off the mark here. “We’re not in love. It’s not like that.”
    “Sure. Right. Whatever you say. Except that you two both look like you’re in love. I could be completely wrong. But I doubt it.”
    Clearly Jason was laughing at West but the situation wasn’t funny in the least. Love was not in the equation here. West cared about Gigi but wasn’t ready to call it anything more. She sure as shit wasn’t in love with him. She’d been packed and ready to leave his ass in the dust without a backward glance.
    “I don’t want to talk about my fucking feelings.”
    Jason raised his brows at West’s tone. “That’s fine with me but don’t think because you don’t acknowledge them they’ll just go away. I can personally attest to that.”
    “What time will you be at the house tomorrow?” West changed the subject heartily tired of the last one. He wasn’t a touchy-feely kind of guy who wanted to talk about love, rainbows, and unicorns.
    “Five. Brinley offered to make us breakfast and pack it for the road plus some snacks so hopefully we can put a few hundred miles behind us before we have to stop. Be ready when we get there.”
    West was more than ready. Finding Zachary Rogers and reuniting him with Gigi was the first step in getting back her life.
    Alan Morton would be the second.

    Gigi had trouble keeping her eyes open, her lids weighted down with fatigue. After the physical exertion of today, she was wrecked. She’d be out like a light as soon as her head hit the pillow which was really a shame. There had been some serious sexual tension between her and West earlier and this might be the last night they had alone for awhile. But she wouldn’t complain. For the first time in forever, Gigi felt safe. Or safer. She’d almost forgotten how wonderful it felt.
    The streetlights whizzed by as West drove them back to his house to finish packing and get some rest before their road trip tomorrow. She’d wanted to fly to Vegas but all three Anderson men had quickly squashed the idea. Jason especially had shaken his head and said that if Morton knew anything about computers he was probably monitoring transportation databases looking for her name. Then he’d grinned and excused himself to call someone named Jared about planting a false record to send Morton off the trail.
    These men didn’t miss a trick and for that she was immensely grateful.
    By the time he pulled into his driveway, she was half asleep, dozing on and off. “Home sweet home, babe. Next stop, dreamland. I’ll have you in bed within ten
