a mistake? No. Call from Kevin, go to his best friend. That madesense, and didn’t make her look suspicious.
    She wasn’t suspicious, for heaven’s sake. She’d put together a dossier on Rob Harris and not once had she made the possible connection that Drew pieced together in a matter of moments. Now that he had, it seemed pretty obvious, but stranger coincidences surely existed.
    The junior senator from Texas, Robert Harris III was no Machiavellian character.Maybe ten years away from the White House, but more likely a strong Vice Presidential candidate at some point—ambitious but not cut-throat. Annie hadn’t needed to do any research on his son, but like Drew she vaguely knew he was nine years old. There’d been some coverage of the family on the campaign trail.
    Her pulse picked up. Oh, what she’d give for her iPhone right now. Now that this boy wasmore than an abstract reality, she ached to know more about him.
    When Drew strolled in, a backpack slung over his arm, she almost surged out of the booth. He slid in across from her, shaking his head at the waitress to decline a cup of coffee.  
    “I need to find a computer—” she started.
    “We need to leave the city,” he interrupted. “Wait, what? No, you can’t.”
    “Drew, hang on. I want to…” Bea creepy Google stalker? “I just want to know a bit more about the boy. He might be my flesh and blood, for goodness sake.”
    “No. We can find out more when we get to a secure location.”
    “Maybe we could go to an Internet cafe. Just for a few minutes.”
    “Not going to happen, sugar. I need to get you locked down and off-grid for a couple of days while we sort this out.” He wiggled the burner phone.“I spoke to Rik again. He’s got a plan. Let’s go.”
    Locked down and off-grid? Hell no. “Excuse me?”
    Drew leaned forward over the table, looming large over her. The brim of his matching baseball hat shadowed his eyes but she didn’t miss the serious glint. “We have a plan. Let’s go.”
    She matched his pose, the brim of her hat bumping his. “Go where?”
    “Not sure yet. Do you have your passport?”
    “I don’t need a passport to go to the base.”
    “I told you--can of worms.”
    “But we can’t just...what about you? Aren’t they expecting you today?”
    “I called in sick.”
    “Why?” She shook her head. Could SEALs even do that? It was Friday, wouldn’t that be suspicious?
    “Keeping our options open. We’ve got the weekend to deal with this now.”
    “I don’t think the...” She glanced around and lowered hervoice. “I don’t think the senator is a threat to me. I need to find out more about his son.”
    “Sure, we can do that. Once we get away from here.” He curled his hand over hers, the warm reassuring slide of skin on skin wicking away the top layer of her resistance. “Annie, I only have my gut to go on here, so I can’t tell you why I think we need to lay low for a bit...you’re just going to need totrust me.”
    She did. Even if it was a wild goose chase—or a wild goose run—Drew wouldn’t let anything bad happen to her. Worst case scenario, she’d spend a day or two in a quiet location with an overprotective, super good-looking bodyguard. Maybe there’d be a swimming pool and she could ogle him from afar.  
    “This is crazy,” she whispered. “Where are we going?”
    He grinned. “I have no idea.”

— FOUR —

    “What the hell do you mean, you have no idea?” Annie stared across the table at him and he resisted the urge to grin again.
    “Rik’s making arrangements. Do you have your passport in your purse?”
    Shock rolled over her face, her eyes going big and wide for a second before she closed them with a sigh. “I thought you were joking! This is ridiculous. Seriously, your solution is that weskip the country?”
    “It would be easier to secure you offshore, yes.” He resisted the urge to touch her again. “Look, I get that this is bizarre for you, but it would just be
