afford to be gallivanting across the globe chasing after international slave traders.”
    “I told you I hate that term.  Human traffickers,” Lydia corrected her man vehemently. Clint sighed.
    “Fine, whatever.  But those three kids need Rylie.  This is too dangerous.  That boy Sawyer told us all about her life in Oklahoma.  She has to stay away from this.”
    “Did you not read the same files I did, you asshole?”  Lydia looked at Clint in frustration.  “Rylie has Albert eating out of the palm of her hand.  She has him convinced she can distribute the girls throughout all of North America.  She also has him treating them better than they were ever treated by the Guzmans.  She’s saving lives.”
    Clint struggled with the realization Rylie was going to have to be part of the mission.  It was obvious it wasn’t sitting well with him.  Lydia winked at Rylie, and she laughed.
    “Look, I don’t have much time to talk to you.  Sawyer told me you’re going to be meeting me in Dallas for my flight to Vancouver?” Rylie prompted.
    “Dare is.  He’s packing now.  He’ll see you there.  Don’t expect a happy reunion either.  He’s been trying to track you down since you ditched us in Houston,” Clint ground out.
    “I work alone.  At least I used to. You guys were the ones who thought I was going to actually jump on board because we met up the one time.  You took far too much for granted.”
    “You should have had the common courtesy to tell us you weren’t going to meet us the next morning,” Clint said.  Rylie snorted.
    “Stop it, both of you.  Rylie, Dare will be flying in from San Diego.  He’ll get there three hours before your flight to Vancouver.”
    “Does he have the slightest idea of what he’ll be walking into?  I saw him in the room in Houston, and he doesn’t strike me as the type of guy who will mix it up well with Albert Liu.”  Clint scowled, and Lydia laughed.
    “Yeah, a lot of the guys aren’t much for dressing up.  But Dare knows what he was in for.  He and Jack went out shopping yesterday and put a rush on stuff.  He’ll be the perfect boy toy for Sylvia Hessman.”
    “It’s more than just the wrapping.  He’s got to play the part.  He’s got to know all the ins and outs.  He’s got to–”
    “Stop it,” Clint interrupted Rylie.  “This is what we’re trained for, thinking on our feet.  We might not be spies, but we go into the worst places imaginable, and it’s our job to go in and bring people out alive.  In order to do that, we have to adapt.  That’s what we do, Rylie, we adapt.  Dare is probably the best out of all of us.”
    She looked at Clint and Lydia and thought about Darius Stanton.  He had been so caring, and so smart in the probing questions he had asked when she had shown her information to the team that night in Houston. 
    “I still don’t think this is going to work.  Please just let me do this on my own.  He can be there in Vancouver, if I need him, I’ll call him.” 
    “Rylie, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Trey copied over your hard drive.”
    “He what?!” Rylie shrieked.  The computer almost toppled off her knees, she grabbed it at the last moment.
    “Yep, we know everything,” Clint smirked.
    “You need us, Rylie.  We’ve been frantically searching, and using our official and unofficial sources to find out more.  Liu’s family in China is as bad as the Russian mafia.  He’s ruthless, and his family is counting on this working,” Lydia explained.
    “You don’t think I know this?” Rylie hissed.
    “What you might not know is his uncle is coming over to check on the operation.  You don’t know it because good ol’ Albert doesn’t know.  Uncle Liu is–”
    “I know who and what Uncle Liu is.”  Rylie thought she might throw up.  Uncle Liu operated one of the most ruthless gangs in Southeast Asia. 
    “Is it because Albert’s gay?” Rylie asked
    “No, it’s the shipment
