“What?”she finally asked, clearly growing perplexed at his scrutiny.

His gaze dragged over her again.She was smart, pretty, and goddamn stubborn when it came to him.“You’re not what I expected.”

Radley laughed, catching Boone off guard.“Trust me, soldier.You’re not what I expected either.”










Chapter 10

––––––––

FRIDAY MORNING, RADLEYscanned over the surveillance footage and bristled.While there’d been two alerts, one was a freaking bear prowling around the parking lot.The second was a lone vehicle.Two men had arrived at the warehouse and left shortly thereafter.There’d been no movement of the remaining crates, which were still stacked against the far wall.

“What’s wrong?”Boone asked, coming to stand at her side.

She flashed him an exasperated look.“I’m worried we missed our chance.Nothing has happened all week after they shipped out the first batch of crates.If we’d have tagged them, we might have a leg up on what’s going on.”

“Yeah, but we’d only just discovered the new warehouse when they showed up,” he pointed out.“We would still be monitoring that old cabin if you hadn’t found the address.”

Radley eyed him, thoughtful.“It’s interesting that chatter hasn’t mentioned the warehouse at all.”

Boone lifted a shoulder.“They’re being secretive and probably assume they’re being watched.Maybe they suspect someone’s been prowling around and digging into their business.”

“Possibly.But what are the chances that we set up surveillance and suddenly there’s no movement at all?”

“We don’t know how much movement there was before,” Boone pointed out.

“I don’t know,” Radley said.“Something about it just feels off.Why establish a new location and have so little going on?”

“They need new supplies,” Knox said as he strode into the room.“There could’ve been a delay in a shipment of goods.We don’t know how they’re procuring materials yet, but they can’t exactly pack crates full of explosives if they have nothing to put in them.”

Radley drummed her fingers on the table, thoughtful.“It bothers me that we don’t have any new leads.Days have passed, and we’re not any closer to getting answers.”

Boone’s gaze slid to hers.“We could go back to the cabin and scout around there some more,” he suggested, his deep voice reverberating right through her.“Maybe there’s something you missed.”

“Maybe.I didn’t search all the back rooms thoroughly since I was eager to visit the address I discovered.The cabin was abandoned, so it made the most sense to leave and check out the new location.”

“I’ll tell Holt we’re heading over there.Xaden and Gage are doing some recon work around the home of one of the suspected terror cell members.We only have the full names and addresses of a few.”
