the old Verge Pharma building,
     or close to it. I learned the whole story last year, when Colton let us hide in the
     suite at the Vdara when everyone on the planet was looking for me.”
    Brynn couldn’t help one small smile. Oh, how she remembered that week of holing up
     at the Vdara. It’d seemed like a luxury staycation, except for the times they were
     reminded that every law enforcement agency in the city—plus Stock, Newport, and Adler—were
     out to capture Shay any way they could. She didn’t doubt that all the danger fed her
     attraction to Dan, the G-man just as commanding as his soldier friends—and mind-bendingly
     gorgeous, to boot. The feeling had been heady and heart-stopping…
    And temporary.
    But, as she’d come to learn over the last few months, not worthless. Despite the heartache
     of the relationship’s end, everything about her journey with Dan had brought her to
     who she was now. Clearer about why she’d made that mistake. More resolved to never
     make it again.
    That determination prompted her head up again. “Learned it from who?” she asked Shay.
     “You and Dan were pretty picky about the suite’s guest list.” The two of them had
     been so bossy about the issue, El and she had nicknamed them “the old ladies”. Zoe,
     already deep into the “yes, Sir” and “no, Sir” thing with Shay, hadn’t joined the
     fun. While their dynamic wasn’t nearly as intense as the shit Enya had gotten into
     with her Dom, it had all still made Brynn giggle—and mightily razz her friend at every
     chance she got.
    Get back here alive, Zo, and I’ll never tease you again. I’ll be too busy thanking
     God for you.
    “Ghid Preston,” Shay answered her. “You and Ry were watching a movie in the other
     room.”
    Zeke grunted. “Ghid. Yeah. Good man.”
    “He filled in some blanks for Tait and me,” Shay offered. “About why our mother fell
     off the grid after the Big Idea project was discontinued. He told us about a site
     outside of Austin, supposedly the home of Verge Pharmaceuticals—but that was only
     what the building said on the outside. Inside, it housed Adler’s new lab facilities.
     They abandoned the building after Newport got them cleared to move to Area Fifty-One.”
    As he spoke, El grabbed the laptop back, snapped it back open, and clacked at the
     keys like a teenager in chat mode. “Got it,” she announced ten seconds later. “Right
     here.”
    She turned the device so everyone could see the screen, consumed by images of a building
     that had, at one time, likely been an architectural showpiece. In the pictures El
     showed, the giant glass and chrome building was closed off by chain-link fences, and
     was rocking the “overgrown decay” look. Rain had streaked the dirt from the roof down
     over the walls, and tall weeds rose up from the ground to meet the stains.
    El scrolled to some links on the side of the page. “Looks like it’s still registered
     to Verge.”
    “Only a two-hour plane trip from here,” Kell filled in, “as opposed to the five hours
     required for D.C.”
    “Good point.” For a second, Shay’s face didn’t look so ravaged.
    “Feels like our best bet,” Zeke concurred.
    Rhett studied the screen more closely. “Especially because this complex isn’t as helpless
     as it looks.”
    Rebel stepped in too. “You’re right,” he murmured. “The weeds on the fence have only
     grown as high as this break point. They’d have overtaken the top if the wires there
     weren’t still charged.”
    “And look at this.” Rhett spread his fingers to expand an image. “Around the loading
     docks, in the back.”
    Rebel shifted closer, practically pressing his cheek to his buddy’s for the better
     view. Nobody in the room flinched—Brynn imagined they all operated under close quarters
     when on missions—though she wondered if anyone picked up the new strain in Rhett because
     of it.
    “That dust has been scuffed recently,” Rebel
