own. When the smoke cleared, we had one dead, I was wounded and two more were missing. We never did find out what happened to them until yesterday when Wyatt Gage showed up with a bunch of papers we knew nothing about.”
    “What’s the story with this Patrick Rivers?”
    “According to Wyatt, Patrick Rivers walked away from his post and joined the Taliban. He’s the one behind the plot to break our nation and destroy our military.”
    “Is this guy one of us?” Boomer wanted to know.
    Dewey shrugged. “That, we don’t know yet. I’m going to have our tech guy look into his background.”
    Boomer shook his head. “Let baby girl do that. If he’s got something to hide, she’ll find it. She is the best at what she does.”
    “She seems awfully young for what she does.”
    Boomer grinned. “She’s young in truth, but she has skills like no one you’ve ever seen before.”
    “So my tech guys says.” Dewey crossed his arms over his chest.
    “Her old man is military, did you know that? He’s one of the big shots.”
    Dewey raised an eyebrow. “She never said anything about that.”
    “She wouldn’t. She doesn’t talk about him much but I did some checking on my own. Trudy Chase doesn’t exist. I don’t know her real name but her sister is in Port Arthur under an assumed name. She’s living in a housing unit for the blind. She’s hiding for some reason and it’s not from the drug dealer.”
    “What happened to that guy anyway?”
    Boomer smiled. “Let’s just say his body will never be found and leave it at that.”
    Dewey held his hand out and when Boomer shook it he said, “Good man.” He paused then asked, “What about the brother?”
    “She doesn’t talk about him much. I do know his first name is Ronnie but not much else.” He paused then added, “She has nightmares sometimes. She gets caught up in the beating she took and it scares the hell out of her. It took a really long time for her to be comfortable around us. Big men like us scare the hell out of her. We remind her too much of the guys that laid a beating on her and her sister. That’s why she has the dogs, although Ivory belongs to her sister. I don’t have a clue why Trudy has her but Ebony is trained to protect her and wake her from the nightmares.”
    “Parker told us some of this already. She’s friends with his sister Janet,” Dewey explained. “He’s known her for about five years now.”
    “Then she trusts him and in turn, trusts the rest of you. It takes a lot for her to trust anyone. If you betray that trust, she’ll be gone in an instant and you’ll never see her again.”
    “What makes you think I’d betray her?” Dewey felt insulted.
    Boomer laughed. “I’ve seen the way you look at her. She may be unaware of it yet, but you want her.”
    Dewey chuckled. “I may want her but I’m too old for her. She’s what? All of twenty four? I’m over twelve years older and a hell of a lot more experience than she will ever have. I’ve seen things she can’t imagine.”
    “War does that to a man but I’ve also seen the way she watches you.” Boomer nodded.
    “And how is that?”
    “I think I’ll let you find that out on your own.” He shrugged. “Of course, I could be wrong, altogether.”
    Just then, Cyrus stuck his head out of the shop and called out, “Lunch is ready.”
    Boomer got up and began walking toward the shop. “Can you and I and the Marine work together to end this?”
    Dewey nodded. “It’s going to take all of us to bring this bastard down.”
    Boomer stopped and turned to stare at hm. “If you hurt her, I will break you into tiny pieces and feed you to the gators, I hope you understand that.”
    “I hear you, old man.”
    When they got into the shop, everyone was busy eating. Cyrus had made a big batch of spaghetti that smelled delicious. Grabbing their plates, Boomer joined Trudy at the desk and Dewey sat down next to his own men.
    Parker sat back and noted the look on his
