“It is my right to deny that she go due to the danger. “What about Jordan’s desire to go?” “She is family,” Hunter said. He will want to know about this.” “Thank God!” Jesse said, curling up against Hunter’s side. “I will contact Dagger’s older brother, Trig,” Hunter murmured. He shook his head and pulled her and Lyon close to his body, breathing in their calming scent. Hunter turned, sensing Jesse’s fear and smiled tenderly down at her.

If it was dangerous he could re-injure his back. Jesse turned to look at Hunter in concern. “I’ll transfer everything to your console in your office.” Jesse and Hunter watched as Jordan turned and ran back into the house. “Whether that means you go, I cannot guarantee.” “Just… try,” Jordan begged. “I will see what I can do, Jordan,” Hunter replied grimly. “You all believed it was them but never proved it.” “Hunter?” Jesse said, holding Lyon against her. “We will bring him home.” “You almost did,” she whispered back.

I won’t lose him.” “We do not leave any of our men behind,” Hunter reminded Jordan. “It would be too dangerous.” “I found him once,” Jordan insisted as she reached for the tablet. I go with whoever goes after him.” “Jordan,” Jesse whispered in shock. “I’ll give it to you but on one condition. “When was this taken?” “Yesterday,” Jordan said. “I need every bit of information you have, Jordan,” Hunter bit out in a low, dangerous tone. He glanced back down at the tablet once again. Hunter looked at her before turning his gaze back to Jordan. He would know the features of the male in the center of the fight ring anywhere. His face paled when he saw the grainy image. I just know it!” Hunter handed Lyon to Jesse and took the tablet Jordan was holding out. I’ve gotten several hits but I finally found an image with him in it from one of the illegal fight stations,” Jordan said holding up the tablet in her hand. “I’ve been running scans with Dagger’s name and the word Trivator as a filter. I think at least Dagger and maybe Edge got away before their transport exploded.” “What makes you think Dagger is alive?” Hunter asked. I’ve gone over all the records and reports again and again. They just assumed it was Dagger and Edge but a DNA test was never done to prove it was them. “No, they found two bodies that were never identified.

They found his body.” Jordan shook her head.
