To Valerie Mann: Thanks for putting up with me. And being in my corner.
Chapter One
They ambushed him with all kinds of long, sharp, and deadly— knives, daggers, and blades longer than his arm. Spook whirled to confront the attackers. Kicking out at anyone in his path, he tumbled head over heels, then reversed, flying through the air with aggressive whiz-bang moves that would have made a Wallenda nervous. Crunch. Pow. Bonk. Mowed them all the fuck down. Then surveyed the damage.
With his flurry of lethal martial arts acrobatics, Spokane Raines managed to lay out and disarm each of his five assailants. Four snoozed, all lights-out and lost to the world. One still panted on the ground. Planting a booted foot to still him, Spook searched the thug’s pockets for the purloined computer chip he’d been sent to retrieve, along with any other booty and incriminating ID.
Hell. Definitely getting too old for this shit. Took a lot out of him this time.
Grabbing the valuable object he’d haunted the night-silent office building for, he whiffed out of the Paris alley where he’d been waylaid and materialized in his hotel room on Avenue George V.
Was he beginning to lose it? What if he attempted to whiff somewhere one day and the mother lode of energy he called upon to transport him from place to place in a flash quicker than a mouse click wasn’t there anymore? Did he have to report to HQ for retraining or a tune-up? A shudder tap-danced through him at the idea. In fact, everything about his cloak-and-dagger employment made him itch lately.
The afterburn of the fight in the alley and the resulting edgy adrenaline sizzling through him left him both wired and depleted. The heaviness in his limbs spoke of bone-deep fatigue. But there’d be no sleeping yet. He vibrated with bloodlust and the urge to stick his cock into anything that moved. Not that that would happen tonight. Not unless he picked up some bimbo in the hotel bar, or paid for it, neither of which he’d risk until securing and safeguarding the chip. Another reason to quit his current line of work. If they’d let him.
The Company didn’t tell you about the crash and burn during clandestine services training. When the agency had first roped him in, it was all about the glamour, the adventure, the special powers with which he might be endowed, the abilities they could implant in him, depending on his aptitude. Abilities like whiffing from place to place in split seconds.
Sometime during the intensive training it changed, though, became all about the risks, the perils, all hints of glamour gone. He was a cog in the machine, drawing hazardous duty pay. A grunt in the war on…whatever the fuck
