business.”
    “Oh cut the crap.  You’re not in Army Intelligence anymore.  Now you’re running your own damn super-spy agency, and you know I don’t have anyone to tell your secrets to, so spill it.”
    “Paraguay.”
    There was major flooding killing and displacing people down there, and he should have known the Shadow Alliance would be in the thick of things.  But Declan?
    “I thought you did intelligence gathering.  I didn’t know you were on the ground.”
    “I’m wherever they need me.  It’s a clusterfuck of epic proportions, so I’ve been there.”
    “If they needed you there, what are you doing here?”
    “Because you look to be a clusterfuck of epic proportions.”
    “It’s not that bad.”
    “When Finn Crandall decides to a request a discharge from his cherished team, it’s bad.”
    “I’m on leave,” Finn corrected.
    “Only because Clint is good at forging your signature, don’t try to bullshit me,” Declan set down his beer with a thud.  “I can’t stay long.”
    “Good. I don’t need a fucking babysitter.”
    “I did back then, so I’m returning the favor.  Can you tell me what happened?  You know you need to get it off your chest.”
    Finn gave him a cold stare. 
    Finally, Declan settled back and crossed his arms.
    “For fuck’s sake, you already read every single document associated with the mission.  Why are you asking me questions?” Finn exclaimed.
    “Because I want to hear it from you.  Because I’m serious.  You need to talk about it.”
    “What?  That’s what they taught you?  Did you have sex after your share circles?”  Finn regretted the words as soon as they were out of his mouth.
    “I’m sorry, Dec.”
    “Forget it.”
    “No seriously, I was out of line.”
    “You were, Crandall.”  He winced.  Dec never called him by his last name.
    “You have to forgive me.  Nobody wanted you to get better more than I did.  You needed those group sessions.”
    “I said leave it alone.”  Declan’s eyes were emerald ice.
    The waitress brought the beer, chips, and three different types of salsas.  She also brought some homemade flour tortillas and butter.  Each man placed their order, then waited until the waitress was out of ear shot before continuing their conversation.
    “Dec?”
    “Look, Finn, you’re fucked in the head.  Been there, have the T-Shirt.  We’re fine, until we aren’t again, then we’ll be fine again.  But I will beat the shit out of you if you go too far.”
    Finn breathed a sigh of relief.  “So why Austin?”
    Declan set down his tortilla and snagged his beer.  After taking a sip, he took out his phone.  He pulled up a file and showed it to Finn.  “Look familiar?”
    Finn grabbed the smartphone out of his friend’s hands and went through all of the information.  They were the records of the five births of the missing babies .  They contained the names of the birth mothers, sex of the baby, APGAR score, weight, time, and date of birth.  The only details on the people who bought the babies were the dates they picked up the kids, the amount they paid, and the city they had flown in from.
    “I’ve read all of this before.  What’s your point?”
    “One of your five mothers is here in Austin.”
    This was news to him.  He had all of the records he had pulled from the team’s computers.  Even though he hadn’t been to any of the brainstorming sessions in the last couple of weeks, they knew he was interested in the progress of reuniting the mothers and the babies.
    “Are you sure of your information?”
    Declan raised his eyebrow.  Stupid question, of course, Declan was sure.
    The waitress came to the table with their entrees. 
    “Which of the girls?” Finn asked before taking a bite.
    “Dasha.”
    “I don’t get it.  Rylie and Lydia managed to reunite her with her great-uncle, and they were living in New York.”
    “Apparently, you’re not the only one who wants to be off the grid.  Sergei and
