face.”
    She laughed. “Yes I do. You’re losing your edge, Flint. A few years ago you’d have never allowed a woman to cloud your judgment, but you let Lindsey lure you out here to get killed. You’re just lucky I came along to save your sorry ass.”
    He gave her a lopsided grin. “I thought you liked my ass?”
    Her eyes narrowed. “I did, until you bared it to someone else.”
    “Women,” he uttered under his breath, shaking his head with annoyance. He’d never understand any of them. “Jealousy doesn’t become you, Dray.”
    She snorted. “I’m not jealous. I should have let them kill you, you arrogant, egotistical cheat.”
    He smiled, showing her all his pearly white teeth. Why would she call him a cheat if she didn’t feel something for him?
    The woman protests too much.
    “And you’re any better, right? Who’s the one cavorting with the good Doctor Welby? By the way, I’ve been meaning to ask. How’s his bedside manner? Does he warm up his stethoscope before he uses it?” Flint paused, testing her reaction, then continued. “Does he carry around tongue depressors, or does he just give tongue.”
    “Oh... that’s awful, Flint. Did I say one thing about Lindsey to you?”
    “Damn straight. What about the silicone insinuation?”
    “Well, she has implants, doesn’t she?”
    He wished he knew. “What’s the difference? All women can’t be endowed with perfect breasts like you, Adriana.”
    Her eyes lit up at his words. “You think my breasts are perfect?”
    Flint shrugged. “They’re okay.” To Flint, Adriana had a big enough ego. He didn’t need to add to it.
    “Now they’re just okay?” She shook her head and turned her attention back to the compound.
    “So what do you think is really going on down there?” She didn’t bother to look back at him, but watched the compound with interest.
    “I wish I knew. I’d like to get a look inside the house. You wouldn’t want to create a diversion for me, would you?” Flint cocked a brow, excited at the prospect of a little danger.
    She glanced at him and shook her head. “I don’t think we should do that without backup.”
    “I see. So you’re afraid?” he accused. “I never would have thought the illustrious Adriana Kent was chicken. I guess I don’t know you as well as I thought I did.” Flint did know her, knew she couldn’t resist a challenge. Goading her worked every time.
    “All right! I’ll do it.” Her gaze swept the perimeter of the complex. “I’ll meet you back at the clearing in thirty minutes.”
    Adriana crawled down the steep incline, then darted off toward the compounds gate.
    Flint watched her throw a large rock into the woods, then run in the opposite direction. The guards at the gate took off into the trees and gave Flint the opportunity to sneak by.
    His hope was to get lucky and learn what Ryan Hartford and his men were up to.
    Staying low, he made his way to the nearest window and eased himself up slowly to take a look.
    Inside, there were a number of men mulling around, some watching a huge screen TV in the back. Others stood around a long table studying something that looked like a map.
    Flint squinted, trying to make out a landmark when a large explosion appeared on the TV screen, causing an outburst of laughter from the men watching.
    “What the hell?”
    A tall man with a jagged scar running the length of his cheek came in, said something Flint couldn’t make out, and they all rushed from the room.
    Flint flattened himself against the wall of the stone structure as voices echoed around him.
    “Someone’s right outside the gate, Mr. Hartford. I tried to find them, but they slipped into the woods.”
    “Everybody pan out and start looking,” Hartford’s gruff voice ordered.
    Flint knew he had to get to Adriana and get the hell out of there.
    Dropping back to the ground, he crawled slowly to the edge of the yard. If luck was with him, he’d get by undetected.
    He’d managed to make it to
