empty. She’d seen that man on the ground facing the Maxwell brothers. Then there was an explosion, and he was gone, replaced by a scorch mark. So, if her eyes hadn’t lied earlier, he’d blown up. She had thought he was some kind of suicide bomber or something, though why he’d have any interest in her she had no clue. Perhaps it was her closeness to the Maxwells? She really didn’t know much about them. She only really knew Cam and that he was a marriage counselor. But over the past four years he had often been embroiled in helping his brothers with things he never talked about. What if one of them was CIA or FBI?
    Memories about another time in her life when weird things happened tried to creep in, but she ruthlessly shoved them away. Though she seemed to be having vivid hallucinations again, she fought against the urge to tell Cam about them. At best, he would give her a pitying look and try to talk her through things using his medical skills. At worst, he would drive her to the nearest psychiatric facility and have her committed. She would much rather be ensconced in his house than with strangers who thought she might be losing her mind. Better not to bring that up now.
    No, that was a long time ago, and her childhood couldn’t have anything to do with today’s strange events. No one who knew her then was in her life now. She didn’t even know if any of those people still lived. Huntsville was hundreds of miles away from where she’d grown up, and not a single person from her past knew where she had ended up. Impossible. She was just going to have to take Cam’s word that he would explain everything in time—for the most part, he’d been honest in the past. But waiting with so many unanswered questions would be a bitch.
    There was the whole disappearing-armor thing. Could she have just imagined that? Twice? Maybe she was hallucinating like she had when she was younger. As she drove toward his house nestled deep in the Sam Houston National Forest, she glanced at Cam.
    Over the years, she had visited a couple of times when he needed her help with organizing his library, but she hadn’t even been in every room full of books. He was as much a mystery to her now as he’d been the day they’d met. Sure, she’d learned how he liked his coffee and which newspaper he read, and also his favorite color and that he never celebrated his birthday. But what about his past relationships? For all she knew, he might even be gay, but she seriously doubted it. Though he’d never mentioned a girlfriend or ex-wife, he’d also never mentioned a boyfriend or ex-husband.
    With a mental eye roll, she went back to concentrating on the road but hated the quiet—the explosion had damaged her radio, too, so she couldn’t even use that as a distraction. Finally, she decided some answers were in order.
    “So, are you going to explain why you and your brother came to my aid without bothering to finish dressing?”
    She noticed his grin from the corner of her eye and had to fight to concentrate on the road as her pulse jumped from the sight. That devilishly handsome face had starred in too many of her fantasies to count, without any effort on his part. If he did decide to turn on the charm, she’d never survive.
    “We were playing basketball when I got the call from Zerach that people we are close to might be in danger. We just forgot to grab our shirts.”
    “Ooookay. There’s something else I really need to know.” She hesitated, almost afraid to hear the truth. “I thought I saw…disappearing, reappearing armor and swords. Did I really see that? You’ve mentioned sword training before, but you don’t have one on you now, even though I know you were fighting with one.”
    He was quiet so long her heart sped up in fear. She glanced over to find him frowning as he rubbed a hand through his hair. When he noticed her looking, he pointed at the road, and she turned away again.
    “You really did see the armor and swords, but
