“Funny how you always claim to be innocent.”
I grinned as I panted for breaths and shrugged a shoulder. “Sometimes the truth just happens to be funny, sir.”
“Sir?”
“I can call you buddy if you like.”
“Your sarcasm isn’t welcome here, Tucker.”
“Neither are these delays. We need to get this guy a medic of some sort. Get the cops down here. Let them review this shit. Sutton will help. If The Navs are coming after us at The Hut, we’re going to need you guys to keep an eye on things.” I glanced back at the yard, seeing Ayda’s beautiful face staring back at me. “I have my girl in there, officer. I can’t let anything happen to her, no matter what.”
The cop sighed as he brought his radio to his mouth, pressed the button and called for assistance.
When I turned back to face my men and my girl, it felt like every damn one of them had their mouths hanging open as they stared at me.
Everyone except her.
