today. David did rescue me.”
    Her glance stopped briefly at Justin. She tipped her chin higher, frowned, and moved on. When she got to Ethan, she frowned again.
    “Did you rescue me because you’re a good guy, or because you suspected I’m involved in something sinister and you could get information from me?”
    “Perhaps a little of both,” Ethan acknowledged.
    He saw her flinch, stiffen, and look away. Maybe it was best. They had a job to do. He needed distance between them. Internally, he focused his thoughts, pulled himself in, and tried to bury his emotion.

Chapter Three

    Morgan saw the change in David’s expression. She forced her legs to move forward and sat beside Sara on the couch. Sara squeezed her hand.
    Ellen still stood in the doorway, looking puzzled. “This seems to be a good time for me to leave. I believe you all have things to discuss, and I’m in the way.” She glanced at Morgan. “I’ll call later.”
    Sara walked to the door with her and gave her a hug. “I’ll keep in touch.”
    Ellen reached for the doorknob. Jack put his hand over hers.
    “Thanks for the help. You won’t talk about anything you saw or heard here today.” It wasn’t a question, but a command.
    “I came to check on my friend.” Ellen stiffened and frowned at him. “I saw her, and now I’m going home.”
    “Good.” He stepped back and she opened the door. “We’ll meet again, Ellen.”
    “I seriously doubt it.”
    The group sat silent for several seconds after she left. Morgan had leaned back against the sofa and closed her eyes.
    She smelled his particular scent before he spoke.
    “I’ll help you back to bed.” David hovered over her.
    “No. I have something to say. Then I’ll have Sara drive me home.”
    “I can’t allow you to be home alone.”
    “You have no say in the matter.” She glared at David.
    “Well, it’s either me or Justin. Take your pick.”
    “Enough! Sit down,” Daren ordered. “We have serious problems with this job. Morgan, whether you like it or not, because David chose to rescue you, you are now part of this group.”
    “I don’t understand any of this. One minute I’m thinking about telling Bill I was going to leave, and the next I’m sick and passed out.”
    “What kind of business is Bill really in?” Daren asked.
    “He deals in electronics.”
    “Come on. You know there is more to his business than simple import and export.”
    “I resent your tone, Daren.”
    “Your boss is involved in an international spy ring, and we suspect is procuring arms for our enemies. If you don’t want to talk with us, we’ll let you talk to the CIA.”
    “What?” Morgan’s face went pale.
    Sara slid close beside her and put her arms around her friend. “Daren, you didn’t have to frighten her. You know she isn’t a part of their outfit.”
    “No I don’t, Sara. She’s your friend, but you don’t know what’s been going on this past year.”
    Sara turned and faced Daren. “I believe in her.”
    “Listen,” Ethan interrupted. “Let me talk with Morgan alone. You all go away for a while, go eat or something.”
    He locked eyes with Daren.
    Daren took a breath. “All right. You have an hour. When we come back we’ll discuss where we go from here.”
    They all started going out the door. Justin stopped for a second, started to say something, but went on out. Daren was the last to go. He glanced across at Morgan, pale and motionless on the couch. “Are you thinking with your dick or your brain?” he snapped.
    “What do you think, boss?”
    He chuckled, easing the tension. “A bit of both, I suspect. I noticed when you tried to settle down and cut out the emotion. This is too new for you. I should send you and Justin both back to the ranch.” He let the words hang in the air. “But, I won’t. I have faith you’ll do the right thing.”
    “Thanks,” Ethan said.
    Daren clicked the door shut and Ethan listened to hear the elevator door open and close. When he
