She swallowed. “The Lassiter case is finished, Angus. He’s dead. However, this team has prevented bombings, taken down part of the Mob, solved murders, and destroyed a heroin pipeline. We might be unconventional, but we’ve done our jobs, and the team should be able to continue its good work.”

“‘Unconventional’ is an understatement,” Fields said, reaching in his pocket for another cough drop. He slowly unwrapped it, taking in the situation. “You do understand that we could have SWAT teams here in a second to clear you out?”

Raider cocked his head, his black eyes confident. “Sure. We could also have every news outlet in the DC area here just as fast. Think of the footage they’d get.”

“I’d rather just hit somebody,” Wolfe drawled, his broad hands at his sides. “Whoever’s still standing after the fight wins?”

“That gets my vote,” Angus said grimly.

Malcolm tugged on his dark gray shirt. “Pippa hates it when I come home bloody. I vote for Nari’s plan.”

“That’s two to two,” Wolfe said helpfully. “British dude? Jet? What sayeth you?”

Jethro scratched his head. “I could go a round or two.”

Nari’s mouth gaped open. She’d expected the opposite answer. “Wait a minute.”

Wolfe cracked his knuckles. “Raider? You wanna fight and give Rutherford another black eye?”

“Nope,” Raider said easily. “Nari’s idea is better.”

“Wait,” Dana called from the back of the office. “I vote no violence.”

Wolfe sighed. “Brigid? Get your Irish tush out here. We’re outnumbered right now.”

Brigid poked out her head, her red hair escaping its clip. “Go for it. You guys could seriously burn off some energy.”

Nari’s nostrils flared as she pulled in air. “You people are all crazy.”

Wolfe scratched his head. “We’re tied. Somebody get Millie Frost.”

“She went to a meeting,” Raider said. “An hour ago.”

Dana stepped out. “Well, then. Nari’s plan wins because I’m voting for two.”

Nari nodded. “Good point.” The woman was about three months pregnant, although she wasn’t showing yet. She did throw up a lot, though.

Wolfe’s shoulders went down. “Shoot. I guess that’s fair.”

Angus rubbed his hands together. “I suggest everyone not on my team get the hell out.” He gestured to the elevator, looking sad that he didn’t get to hit anybody. “Now.”

Angus waited until the HDD techs had left before speaking. The silence was heavy enough to make his shoulders ache from the tension.

Wolfe tilted his head. “I guess you forgot to tell us about the year?”

Angus kept his gaze stoic, while his team faced him, as usual masking their expressions. “I’m sorry.” It was the truth and the only thing he could think to say. “The year went fast and I figured Lassiter would make a move before now.”
