she could even find out what they might have. Like she’d told her sister the other night, a long-term commitment for her meant building a partnership with a guy and working toward the same life goals. In other words, planning for a future together.
Did she want to commit to a man who was probably in the middle of some crappy part of the world getting shot at right now?
The emotional part of her wanted to say, Hell yeah!
However, the rational part urged her to proceed with caution. Move too fast and you might make a mistake you’ll regret.
Yet, if she moved too slowly, she might regret it anyway.
Chapter Ten
I THINK I remember this rock,” Nash muttered as he moved alongside Logan through the mountainous terrain in complete darkness.
Several yards away, Dalton laughed. “I doubt it. We’re miles away from where were the last time. We’ve just spent so much damn time over here, it’s starting to feel like home.”
“Yeah, well, I vote we wrap up this mission and get the hell back to San Diego before I forget what our real home looks like,” Nash grumbled.
That worked for Logan The only thing that sucked worse than being back over here again so soon was being over here to do the job they should have finished two weeks ago,
He, Nash, and Dalton, along with Chasen and the CIA SOG team were once again in northern Syria, this time ten miles east of Aleppo, hoping to meet up with the local Kurdish fighters and make the exchange for the damn Russian pilot.
They’d been lucky this time, though. For one thing, the only foreign fighters they had with them were two Kurds to lead them to the place where the exchange would happen. For another, there was a major battle going on to the south of Aleppo as Syrian rebels and fighters from the al-Nusra Front mounted a major offensive against Assad’s government forces there. That meant this particular part of the country was almost peaceful. The best you could hope for around here was that the people trying to kill each other did it far away from you. If he and his Team were lucky, they’d be able to pick up the pilot and get out of here without anyone ever firing a shot at them.
When they reached the coordinates for the exchange point a few miles later, they spread out and settled in to wait. They didn’t know exactly when the exchange was going to go down, but something told Logan this could take a while.
“You’ve been kind of quiet since we got here,” Chasen said softly from beside Logan as they leaned back against a huge rock formation.
Logan glanced around, taking in his surroundings through his NVGs. Nash and Dalton had moved ahead with the Kurdish guides, and Joe and his SOG team were spread out all around them. He and Chasen were relatively alone.
“Just got a lot on my mind, that’s all,” he said softly.
“Is it about Felicia?”
Logan’s first instinct was to deny it. This wasn’t the time or the place to be talking about this kind of stuff. No doubt that’s why Chasen brought it up. He didn’t want Logan distracted out here.
“I’m a little worried Felicia might not be able to handle the job,” he admitted quietly. “Hell, I’m not sure she’s going to be there when we get back.”
“Did you guys have a fight before we left?” Chasen asked.
“No. She actually seemed okay with me taking off. Which concerns me even more than if we’d fought.”
It was still early in their relationship—crap, he was even using that word now—but he liked her a lot more than any other woman he’d ever been with. The idea Felicia might not be there when he got back gave him a weird feeling in his chest. He hadn’t felt anything like it before, and he didn’t like it.
“Look,” Chasen said. “It’s not like I have an ass-load of experience with this kind of thing, but if you expect Felicia to be there when you get back, you need to have an honest conversation with her about how you feel.”
Logan cringed “That’s going to be
