She checked her phone. “No.”
Greystone called Sin, but the phone rang and rang. When he called Dakota, it rolled right to voicemail. Dread crept into his soul, but he shoved it out. Fear would be a mistake thatcould be fatal for him… or for Caroline. So, he wolfed down the giant-sized piece of cake Elsa had put in front of him.
“Delicious,” he said. “I missed your baking the most.”
“I’m always baking something,” she replied. “You and Caroline are welcome anytime.”
“Absolutely,” Carrera added. “We’d love that.”
Simone smiled. “Elsa and I are hosting the next family dinner.”
“On Lulu’s yacht,” Elsa said with a grin. “Those are fun.”
“We should get going,” Greystone said to Caroline.
“Thank you so much for having me,” Caroline said, “and for being so welcoming.”
Elsa smiled. “Two more babies to add to my wonderful family. Greystone, having you home makes my heart happy.”
After five minutes of goodbyes, they were finally out the door.
As he drove toward the Black Site, he clasped her hand. “How’d you like my family?”
“I love them, but the real question is, how didyoulike them?”
“We had a good talk,” he said as he hit the gas on the main road.
“We need to armor-up in the hangar,” she said.
“Where’s your Glock?”
“My handbag.” In the darkened car, she peered over at him. “Why?”
“I called Sin and Dakota, but neither answered.”
“Maybe they’re in the hole,” she said. “There’s no signal underground.”
He hoped she was right, but the gnawing in his guts was a sure sign that something was wrong.
Very, very wrong.
