Do it! Now! Now!” Ana yelled the order.
Whiler had no choice but to obey.
Royal held his weapon steady on the older man until Whiler hit his knees on the pavement. Within a few more seconds Whiler was cuffed and subdued.
J.T. and Ana led him toward wherever they had parked.
That left Royal facing Len. “Well. A bit anticlimactic.”
“Maybe.” She tightened her coat around her shoulders. “Maybe not. I’m alive. You’re alive. Even Whiler is alive. It could have been a whole lot worse.”
“That’s a good way to sum it up.” Royal mentally said to hell with it. “So… pick you up at nine-thirty.”
She stopped walking and looked up at him. She smiled, a truly beautiful smile. “It’s a deal.”
“I don’t think it’s a deal, exactly. I think it may just be a… beginning.”
Epilogue
LEN hated red dresses cut down to her navel. But this dress was purchased especially for what was about to happen.
And Royal liked her in red. It was his thirty-fourth birthday and was exactly six months from the night they’d had their first official date.
He was about to get what he’d wanted for a long time.
She’d never let him take her to Smokey’s, not willing to have the eyes of their colleagues studying their every move. Or speculating on either of their careers. She knew there had already been rumors about her and Ed through the years, but her relationship with Royal meant so much more.
But tonight, they were going public.
It was just a simple dinner and drinks at the local cop bar, a place they’d both been hundreds of times.
Yet they’d never arrived there together before.
She knew it had bothered him—especially the longer they’d dated, but he’d also understood her reasoning.
PAVAD had moved into the new building two days ago. Tomorrow the teams would be relocating to the new offices.
It had been a long six months, division-wide, but it was about to be the greatest thing she’d ever worked on up to that point.
And even with the long hours she’d put in and the days out of town Royal’s team had experienced, he’d always been there when she needed him.
They’d spent almost as many nights apart as they had together.
But that was going to change.
He’d bought a house two months earlier, and had asked her to think about moving in with him. It was a big step for both of them.
Tonight she was going to say yes.
As soon as he got there. Len could barely wait…

Seth Lorcan thrived on undercover work and he was good at it.
His latest assignment brought him dangerously close to the edge--and made him a target, from both the bad guys and the good. And if he didn't act fast, all the information he'd risked his life to obtain would be gone, just as quick as the memory card could be destroyed.
