have our own
version of Special Forces. Men who used to be in Special Forces and Navy
Seals.”
    “Other
than the lights and some blurry images, poor audio, and satellite mapping, we
can’t get into the details without someone reporting back to us,” Joseph said.
“It’s difficult at the moment to know what is exactly going on.”
    “When
can we know for sure, and when can we get them out of there?” Drew asked.
    “We’re
trying as hard as we can,” Tim said. “Our teams there and here have been
working thirteen hours straight or more these past few weeks. We are as
dedicated towards finding Mr. Donovan and Nat as you are. Believe me, the
survival of this company depends on it.”
    Drew
looked at Tim and everyone else in the room and he stood up straighter. “Tim,
Karen, Joseph, Kevin, and Robert, thank you for all your efforts and
dedication. I appreciate it, and I’m sure if Nat or my father was here, they
would be appreciative of your efforts, too. But we need to get them back here
as soon as we can. If it takes another Special Forces to move in to get the job
done, then we’ll hire them. When it comes to the safety and lives of my father
and brother, I’m not taking any chances.”
    The
team looked at each other, and Drew crossed his arms, taking full control of
the room. I could see the star quarterback in him rise at the moment, the
charming natural leader whom guys liked to hang out with and girls wanted to go
to bed with. I could see Nat in Drew…the resemblance strong as Drew looked more
and more like a sexy young billionaire CEO in training.
    “Let’s
get a second team of ex-Special Forces hired and dispatched today.” He looked
at his watch. “We don’t have much time. The day is almost over. So, let’s get
to work.”
     

Chapter 4
     
     
    A s tired as we were, we spent the rest of the
day and night in that conference room with the team, working on getting another
team of Special Forces assembled and ready to go. By the time Drew and I walked
back to his car, it was almost time to get up for breakfast.
    “Look Summer,”
Drew said. “I’m too tired to drive to my parents’ house. There’s a nice hotel
nearby. How about we just go there?”
    “Sure,” I said.
I wasn’t in any mood to talk or do anything except sleep then.
    “Good,” Drew
said, starting the car. We pulled out of the parking lot and within three
minutes was pulling into the valet parking area of the Four Seasons.
    “The Four
Seasons?” I asked.
    “Yup,” Drew
said. “The nearest nice hotel. I can’t put you up in anything else. Plus, it
was so close by.” He grinned a tired grin and leaned over to give a quick peck
on my cheeks. “We should rest while we’re here, Summer.  Take care of
ourselves. Be good to ourselves. I know we’re under a lot of stress, worries,
and what not, so the best thing for that is to be kind to ourselves when we
could. So here we are.”
    I couldn’t help
smiling at Drew and the sweet side of him that came out in the most unexpected
but appropriate times. He was a gem, and spending time today with him only made
me love him more.
    “When did you
plan this?” I asked.
    “When I took a
break between meetings,” Drew said. “My mind’s going in all different
directions. It’s like I have to keep going. I’m driven to see this through.”
    I nodded and then I remembered. Drew had made
reservations sometime before in between meetings with the Donovan Dynamics
team. Having no experience with special forces or global intelligence, I
stepped back and watched the team worked. I was tired as dirt, but the energy
in the room was electric, with Drew taking charge and moving things along, I
could not believe this was the same Drew Donovan who was a manwhore player and
don’t-give-a-damn-about-the-Donovans-empire all this time. It was a complete
transformation, and I have to say, it turned me on immensely. Drew was on fire,
taking charge of Donovan Dynamics…a natural born leader in
