Chapter 27 - From a Dream
Dom stomped back over his tracks for the third time. If he didn’t hear from her in the next few minutes, he was going in regardless! Brody looked at him from the tree he stood leaning against.
“You need to take it down a notch, Dom, your hostility is smothering all the oxygen in this area.”
Dom glared at him and then looked down at the snow. “I’m trying. She should have contacted me by now.” Tess came through the trees and headed toward him. She looked tired. “You’re sure you’re rested enough to be in on this?”
She frowned and ignored his question. “We have an SUV headed this way.” She kept the phone against her ear and looked at him.
He nodded. “Jennah, we’ve got someone heading your way.”
“I’m still in the hole.”
“As soon as he’s inside, let me kn

Jennah stayed low in the snow. The trees were more than enough cover, but she was cold and starting to feel tired. She glanced over at Brody, who was looking at her.“You okay?”She nodded and looked back toward the cabin. “Where are they?”“In the bush. They’re heading somewhere. We just don’t know where.”She looked back at the cabin. “Where are your vehicles?” She turned to see him pointing in the opposite direction. “Okay.” She started to stand.He jumped up. “Where are you going?”She motioned toward the warden’s SUV. “I’m going to disable that so we can go get the car and go help.”He shook his head and cursed under his breath as he felt for the mic on his collar. “Tess, are you still on the west side.” He looked back toward the cab
Dreams Chapter 29 - From a Dream
Jennah watched Dom’s feet under the curtain that hung around the bed she’d been put in when they’d reached the hospital. She gave it five more minutes, and if the doctor or nurse didn’t go out and tell him she was all right, he was going to get even more agitated than he was.As if on cue, the curtain flew back and he stood there looking larger than life. The doctor looked up from the pages he’d been writing on, a very apprehensive look in his eyes. Jennah hid a smile behind her hand and met Dom’s eyes. “You’re scaring the medical professional that is checking everything but my shoe size.” “I don’t care. I have been standing on the other side of that damn curtain for almost an hour!” He returned his serious eyes back to the doctor.The doctor straightened away from the counter and turned to look at Dom. “Mister Pa

Jennah slid down further into the warm water. She smiled and ran her hand through the mounds of bubbles. Dom must have used the entire bottle.“Hey, beautiful, do you want something to eat, or tea?”She smiled and closed her eyes. “Just tea. I’ll eat later.”“You should try something to eat, too.”She opened her eyes and looked over to see him standing in the door. “I think I need a nap more than food right now.” She pushed up so she could see him over the bubbles. “I’m suddenly exhausted.” His dark eyes immediately filled with concern. She laughed. “I’m fine, relax.”He walked silently across the tiles and knelt down beside the tub. “I may never relax again.” He pushed a damp piece of hair back from her face. “At least not until Light is behind ba

Jennah hung up the phone and looked back out the window. It was snowing lightly, creating a peaceful scene. Peaceful was something she wasn’t feeling. Brody hadn’t been any help. Sitting at home recovering from a gunshot took him out of the information loop as much as she was. She hadn’t heard from Dominic since he’d been called to assist the team. The only thing she knew at this point, according to Brody, was Warden Light was now behind bars, as were the rest of his associates. He’d told her not to worry.She understood that Dom was probably up to his neck in statements, reports, and all of that, and it was just as important to her that every ‘t’ was crossed and every ‘i’ dotted so evidence was airtight and there were no holes for the Warden to slip through during prosecution, but her heart didn’t understand. She had gotten used to him being here and missed him now.&nb
Dreams Chapter 32 - From a Dream
Forty-five minutes later, she was standing by the window glaring at the phone in her hand. She really, really missed those old phones, the ones that were attached that you had to actually hang up in a cradle. She really wanted to slam the phone into the cradle—several times, right now. The hospital would tell her nothing! She wasn’t his superior or a family member! The captain had been less than helpful, refusing to send a car for her or to call the hospital for her right then to find out how he was doing.She turned and tossed the phone onto the couch. It wasn’t as gratifying as slamming it down, but it helped a little. At least that’s what she told herself. Did she call Rudy and see if he’d loan her his car? She rubbed her hands over her face and tried to reason out whether she could just sit here and wait or if she was going to find a way there.What day was it? Saturday? She t
Dreams Chapter 33 - From a Dream
She lifted her face as the rose petals cascaded down over her skin. They tickled along her cheeks lightly, making her smile from the feeling. She inhaled the light, sweet scent of the velvet soft petals. A calmness surrounded her, enveloped her in a serene feeling.“Jennah...”Dom’s voice whispered through her. Just the way he said her name filled her with love and warmth.The smell of coffee filled her nostrils, causing her to frown. How did she go from roses to coffee? Pushing her face into the cushion in a sleepy haze, she realized all of it was a dream. Dreaming of coffee was probably not a good sign. Stretching, she rolled over and opened her eyes. She was on the couch still. She blinked a few times to help focus and looked toward the window. It was near dawn.She closed her heavy eyes and opened them too see on the table a few feet from her. She squinted. There had to be two doz
Dreams Chapter 34 - After the Dream
Brody sat there staring at the faded wallpaper, trying to pretend he wasn’t able to hear the argument in the next room. The disagreements were becoming more frequent as the weeks of gestation increased in Jennah’s pregnancy. If the Captain hadn’t requested they all be here for a meeting, he would have made himself scarce and allowed the couple— that really did adore each other, a bit of privacy. Instead he had to be early and now had to sit through this.“You’re supposed to be on leave, in case it’s escaped your notice—you’re eight months pregnant!” Dom growled in a low tone.Jennah’s tone wasn’t low. “As if I could forget! I’m here at our headquarters, not out in the field. I may not be able to do the leg work right now—but I still have a brain that functions.” A door slammed.Yeah, Dom was going to be in the doghouse—again. Shakin
Dreams Chapter 35 - After the Dream
Forcing her eyes to look anywhere but at Brody took a lot of concentration, Tess could feel his eyes on her and refused to give in. He was always looking at her with those dark brooding eyes and it unnerved her. Rubbing her aching temples she turned her attention back to the Captain, her uncle, and the decorated Military Colonel. So far they’d all sat around the room while the two men had talked quietly while looking over some papers. Smithy looked tense and didn’t take his eyes off them, which worried Tess; he would be listening in on their conversation— while it was still inside their head. Whatever it was, it was serious.When they finally turned around, Tess didn’t need to be a mind reader to know this was as serious as it got.Her Uncle cleared his throat, all eyes turned to him. “This is Colonel Reynolds and from this moment on you are to discuss none of this with anyone not in this room.&rdq
