Epilogue

One year later

Flynn cuddled with his wife on the sofa, watching the embers dance in the fireplace. He pulled her close and kissed her forehead as he fiddled with his wedding ring.

“How was work today?”

“Perfect.” She settled into his hold. “They approved the drug for human trials. It won’t be long now.”

“Beautiful and smart. I’m a lucky guy.” He kissed her head.

“You know what I was thinking?” she asked, looking up at him with affection in her eyes.

“What’s that, baby? Are you ready for kids?”

“What? No.” She returned her gaze to the fire. “I was thinking I haven’t met Landon, yet. He didn’t come to Sky’s wedding. He didn’t come to Declan’s wedding, and he didn’t come to ours. Don’t you find that odd?”

Flynn sighed around his heavy heart every time he thought of his brother and what he must be going through. “He was working some mission he can’t tell us about.”

“Are you sure it’s a mission? I mean what exactly does he do?”

“He’s Special Forces, and he travels the globe, doing what I’m not sure. He calls himself an analyst, but I think that’s just for Mom’s benefit because he doesn’t want her to worry.”

“Hmm.” She cuddled closer. “He sounds a lot like Avery.”

“You met her?” He glanced down at his wife.

“Once at my old apartment. I think I might have to give her a call to see if she can dig into what is really going on. Maybe she’s got some contacts or someone she can ask.”

Flynn pulled Mia to straddle his lap. “That’s you, always the smart one and thinking of others. I never would have thought to ask her.”

“Yeah, well, you didn’t see the size of her gun.” Mia smiled and leaned down to kiss him.

“I love you,” Flynn whispered against her lips.

“I love you too,” she whispered back. “Now take me to bed.”

“Are you tired?” he asked and eased off the couch. Carrying Mia with her legs wrapped around his waist, he headed for the hall.

“Not in the least.” Mia wiggled her brows, making Flynn chuckle with delight, and then he walked faster.

The End.

Chapter 1

Reed Love popped a handful of Skittles into his mouth as he scanned the pictures on the Internet, trying his best to block out the extra boxes of private information that popped out at him.

With his ability, what he could see was similar to the pop-up ads that companies paid a pretty for, but the data in these boxes were things any normal person would be mortified he had access to.

He was more than a computer genius and hacker extraordinaire thanks to his DNA. He had a love-hate relationship with the invisible boxes and the ease of access. It was as if, his mind was melded with all of the information on the internet and coded with the algorithms. The electronic information that people thought was safe would appear in boxes around their person even if he was just looking at a picture. Pictures, financial data, passwords, it didn’t matter what the information or how deep in the web they tried to disguise it. Reed had access, no matter if online or in public. These boxes danced in front of him, enticing him to look.

His mind worked like a direct link to the Internet hub where all data was stored. All he needed was the right trigger to reach inside and be able to pull out the file. Unlike Mike, he wasn’t a human lie detector. But like his sister, Skylar, who could see streams of energy for everything, Reed saw the code, and his mind processed it with images.

He didn’t enjoy knowing everyone’s secrets. He didn’t thrive on the damage that could be done. The only thing in the world he wanted was peace from the information and peace from knowing that there were evil-ass bastards in the world just like the one he was looking at.

The pedophile was at it again, trying to hide pictures and pornography on his computer. Men like him deserved jail, deserved to get the full punishment of the law, and Reed was judge and jury. Reed opened his secure email, linked the attachment of documents, and hit Send, knowing the FBI wouldn’t be able to trace the email back to him. He gave the FBI everything they would need to convict the sicko and all because the man was posting in social media what he had for dinner.

Within ten minutes of meeting his sister-in-law for the first time, he’d known all her secrets. He knew she was adopted and even had access to the records. Why? Because the government and people lived their lives electronically and online. From social media to their banking accounts. It was all there for his taking, and it drove him nuts, sending him into a lonely existence.

Reed clicked onto his MIA brother, Landon’s, Facebook page and scrolled through the pictures. For most, he knew the exact time and place, yet there were a few he’d never seen before. Reed stopped on a photo of the foreign people and places and concentrated.

“I’m going to find you and bring you home.” He wasn’t trying to spy on his brother, but his entire family was worried about why he was keeping his distance from the family, and from Reed’s point of view, there was only one way to find out.

Reed’s phone rang, pulling him out of his concentration. He swiveled away from the computer and blinked several times so the information boxes would disappear.

He glanced at the caller ID. Unknown Number. Even something as small as a blocked number couldn’t be hidden from him.

“Hello.”

“Reed.” Landon’s voice was harsh, and he was out of breath.

“Landon, where the hell have you been and why are you breathing so heavy?” he asked, as the phone kept cutting in and out.

“I’m in trouble. I sent you a package in the mail, a computer file that’s encrypted. I need you to find out what’s on it.”

“Why didn’t you just email it?”

“I just couldn’t. You’ll understand when you get it.”

“Landon, where are you?” Reed asked again, turning to grab a pen from the table. He jotted down the number in the box on a pad before it disappeared.

“I can’t tell you. Just decode that file and find Avery.”

“Tony’s niece? Why would I need to find her?”

“Focus, Reed. You can’t tell anyone about this call. Just decrypt the file and find Avery and give her the information. My life depends on it. Do you understand?”

“Of course.” Reed bolted out of his chair and turned in circles, spotting the stack of mail sitting on his counter.

“Landon, tell me what’s going on.” Reed hurried to the stack of mail and flipped through the letters and the packages, not finding anything out of the ordinary. “I haven’t received it. When did you send it?”

“Sorry brother, no time. Tell Avery I’m going underground. She’ll know how to find me.”

Popping noises and screams in the background had Reed moving the phone away from his ear. When he listened again, he was met with silence.

“Landon, Landon.” Reed’s worried tone grew louder with intensity. Glancing at the caller ID confirmed his worst nightmare. The phone was dead, and he had no idea where his baby brother was, only that he was in trouble.

Reed picked up the phone countless times to call his other brothers and then set it back down. He searched every piece of mail he had and made an extra trip out to the mailbox, as if what he wanted would magically appear, and still nothing.

“Damn.” He threw his remote across the room. The plastic remote put a dent in his drywall before it fell to the ground, cracked into pieces. “Just great.” He glanced at his brother’s social media page. “Why in the hell couldn’t I see your face? I could have had more than just a number.”

His gaze landed on the scribbled piece of paper. He snatched it from the counter and slid his chair back to his desk. Reed hacked into the cell provider’s database and cell towers to figure out where the signal had originated from and triangulate the location.

Reed frowned and gave a slight shake of his head as he stared at the screen in disbelief. He wasn’t on the Island or some big metropolis or, hell, not even in some foreign country like Reed had always assumed. “What in the world are you doing in Riverdale, Texas?”
