Devil Hath Come (an FBI/Romance Thriller ~book 7) by Morgan Kelley Page A

to try.
    Elizabeth should probably get outraged, but she knew her husband was under a great deal of pressure. “What do I get out of it?”
    He stared at her a little more than surprised. Never had she ever said that to him. “What do you want?”
    She grinned wickedly. “ I want a no holds barred pumpkin guts fight and you have to wear a suit.”
    “WHAT?” He was appalled.
    No w, Callen was ready to cry. He was so caught up in laughter over what was happening. “Oh, she got you there.”
    “I’ll talk to Christina, but only if you agree to my demands. If you say no, I’ll buzz her and you can talk about her sex life in front of all of us.”
    Oh hell!
    “Fine. You win. I’ll let you pelt me with seeds and goo if you handle the chick drama.” Blackhawk was pretty sure his wife was sadistic and evil, and he was impressed how she played this one out. Sometimes, he forgot what she was capable of when push came to shove.
    “Great. I’ll talk to her right after our meeting is over,” she grinned. “Oh, and I want that suit for the festivities.”
    He stared down at his finery. “Baby, this is my new one. I just got it. I love this tie too!” Blackhawk ran his hand down the fitted suit and was horrified. He loved his clothing and believed that they made the man.
    “I think that it will look awesome covered in guts. If it makes you feel better, Callen and I will dress up too.”
    Blackhawk stared open mouthed. “THAT is dressed up for Callen!” he declared, pointing at his beat up boots, worn jeans and polo.
    Whitefox dropped a kiss on her forehead. “She saw you coming a mile away. When will you learn?”
    “Deal,” he muttered. “But I’m buying three more to replace it, so don’t even think about bitching about it.”
    Chris Leonard laughed at his bosses. He loved how they seamlessly moved together and were a family. There was teasing, love and camaraderie.
    “Next on the agenda,” Blackhawk stated, picking up his pen. “We need to talk about the holiday schedule.” As he went to proceed, his intercom buzzed.
    “Yes, Ginny?”
    “Mrs. B, you have a call on line one from Director Rothschild. He said it was important and to interrupt the meeting. I’m sorry.”
    Blackhawk loved his secretary. She was damn good at doing her job and still knew when to break the rules.
    “Put him through. Elizabeth will take it in here,” he offered.
    Moving from Callen’s side, she headed over to the desk as her husband put it on speaker.
    “Hey Gabe, how’s it going?”
    “Elizabeth, it’s going well. How are you and the kids? Livy sends her love. When are you three coming to visit?” he inquired.
    “Soon, I promise. As soon as EJ is able to handle a flight,” she paused. “Now, how about you tell me why you really called, Gabe? You don’t call on work lines to chit chat.”
    “What are you doing today?”
    She looked around. It was like he had the place bugged and knew they were all going to skip out for some jackassery and tomfoolery. “Nothing, why? This is the only meeting we have today, since you bumped all the conference calls until tomorrow.”
    “Pack your things, Lyzee. You have an assignment.”
    “WHAT?” both men said incredulously.
    “You heard me. We have a killer that’s called her out personally. It seems someone wants your private attention, or he’s promised to slaughter more women.”
    “I’m going out in the field?”
    Both men were now horrified at what this meant.
    “Saddle up. You ship out to Circle Rock today.”
     
    Well shit!

    To say Ethan Blackhawk and Callen Whitefox weren’t amused would be an understatement. Yet, they knew there wasn’t anything they could do about it. When they’d taken this job, they were aware that there would be times beyond anyone’s control that forced someone out in the field.
    Callen had to go out all the time, but generally, Ethan and Elizabeth only
