.“I’m bored as hell on this damn furlough, that’s what’s up.What about you?”“I’m home at my mama’s place and I think I’ve got something that’s right up your alley, oh god of the computer world.”“Lay it on me, brother.” He could hear Matt’s excitement.“I need everything you can find out about a new employee my brother hired, but I gotta warn you, I don’t have much.”“I love a challenge.Give me what you’ve got.”Jack fed him what information he could, and texted him the photo he’d snapped of Nicki while she’d been busy with Bucky.Cell phones with built-in cameras came in handy at times like this.“How long do you think it’ll take?” he asked Matt before hanging up.He could hear clicking as Matt typed furiously on his ever-present computer keyboard.“Well, I can tell you right now you’re right about her name.There’s no Nicki Camp.It’s fake.I don’t know how long.The photo should help, and the fact that you’re pretty sure she’s originally from the northeast.I’ll get back to you when I have something.”“Great.Thanks, Matt.I really appreciate this.”“Thank you.You may have saved me from going insane during my mental-health leave.”Jack laughed.He and Matt said goodbye and hung up.He knew Matt.They’d worked together for a long time.If there was something to be found on this girl, Matt would find it, no matter how deep he had to dig.With that thought in mind, Jack headed inside the house to feel out his older brother about his feelings regarding Nicki.A pretty young thing like her would be real tempting to a man recovering from what Jimmy had gone through.Jack really hoped he was wrong about her as he knocked on Jimmy’s open bedroom door.“So, little brother, you’ve got the hots for Nicki?”Jack stopped dead in the doorway and stared at Jimmy.“What…?”From his position on the bed, Jimmy grinned.He waved his cell phone at Jack.“Jared just called me from the barn.”“Great.” Jack rolled his eyes.“I’m glad to see you two are putting modern technology to such good use.You’re like a couple of old washwomen gossiping.I guess you’re too busy, so I’ll leave.”Turning toward the hall, Jack pretended he was going to leave.“Don’t you dare go.”Jack paused in the doorway until he heard Jimmy add, “I’m sorry.I’m just bored and you and Nicki together would put a little excitement in my sad life.”He pivoted back with an exaggerated sigh.“Oh, all right.” He took a few steps into the room and sat in the chair next to the bed.Jimmy lay on top of the covers with a book open in his lap.His left foot was propped up on a pillow.That was the ankle that had been broken by the bastard terrorists while they’d had Jimmy in captivity.The memory of that twisted Jack’s gut.He glanced at Jimmy’s face and the fading bruises there angered him all over again.“How much longer did the doc say he wants you laid up like this?”“No idea.It has something to do with my spleen.” Jimmy shook his head.“The broken bones, I can handle.The bruises, who cares? But this internal stuff…there’s nothing I can do about that but just wait it out, I guess.”Jack nodded and brought the subject back around to Nicki, on his terms this time.“While you’re waiting it out, aren’t you a little tempted by Nicki yourself?”Jimmy’s room overlooked the barns.He’d have a great view right here from his bed of Nicki’s jean-clad ass sauntering around all day long as she did her chores.Jimmy shrugged.“I guess I haven’t been feeling all that romantic lately.It’s gonna take a bit of time before I’m back in the saddle again.Besides, she’s a bit on the young side for me.”Being cooped up obviously hadn’t done Jimmy’s mental health any good.Jack made his own mental note to speak with the doc himself privately and see just how bad Jimmy really was.Maybe it would be all right to take him out for a drive or something.What the hell does a spleen do anyway? Jack didn’t know, but damaged spleen or not, Jimmy had managed to get himself into the kitchen for pie today.Hopefully that little trip hadn’t done him any harm.Mama’s pie was strong motivation, no matter what the consequences.“So, little brother, go for it.I give you my blessing with Nicki.” Jimmy interrupted Jack’s thoughts on pie and mysterious organs.“That’s what Jared said.” Jack held in a sigh.He knew his brothers well enough to know he’d now have both of them hell-bent on fixing him up with a girl he was only pretending to like so he could secretly investigate her.And he’d only been home a few hours.The next two weeks should be mighty interesting.Chapter ThreeNicki spent two days trying to avoid Jack.The man seemed to be everywhere.Not that he wasn’t adorable, because he was, and sexy.Hell, he practically melted her every time he came up, actually snuck up, behind her with a hey, darlin’.The problem was his constant questions.The other two Gordon brothers had been easy to lie to.They took her and her story at face value.Not Jack.He must have made a thousand subtle inquiries, all purred out in that voice of his [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
