You’re a complete distraction, and I should resent it, but I just…” Cal glanced at him again, smiling faintly. “I dunno, Hunter. There’s something about you sometimes.”
Then Cal’s common sense broke in, demanding he pull it together, and he returned his hand to the steering wheel. “Shouldn’t be taking advantage of this situation.”

“Oh, yeah. Man, I don’t like my chances. If only I could call in a squad of college-age gaming dorks to watch my six.” Cal sighed dramatically. “This was so much easier to face before I realized my life’s basically forfeit going in with nothing but highly trained FBI agents to cover me.”
