somebody finds her…”

      Eden left the sentence unfinished. They both knew the reality. A reality most of the people working on this case had already conceded. That she hadn’t, she realized, had as much to do with this man than with any claim she might make about duty.

      “If you do…have another one, I mean…” Again her words trailed.

      Underwood nodded. “Yeah. Yeah, I will.”

      He was still standing on the edge of the dirt road when she had turned the car and headed back down it. In the darkness his silhouette seemed to merge with the woods behind him. She slowed, pushing the button that would lower the window on the passenger side.

      “Where’s your car?”

      “Truck. There’s a turnoff a few feet back.” He gestured with his head in the direction she’d just come.

      Her eyes lifted to the rearview mirror. She hadn’t seen another road, but then she’d only been looking for a place wide enough to turn the patrol car. Obviously, he knew this area better than she did. Well enough to know where to conceal his truck.

      She dismissed that flicker of doubt, remembering the sincerity in his voice when he’d talked about Raine. “It’s going to be dark soon.”

      There didn’t seem to be any reason for him to stay out here, but he didn’t appear to be headed to his truck. Was it possible he was feeling the effects of that climb?

      Impulsively, she acted on that thought. “If you want to get in, I can back up to wherever you’re parked.”

      His eyes lifted to briefly consider the road behind her before they came back to meet hers. “I may look around. Since I’m here. I didn’t see this area on any of the search grids.”

      She hadn’t either, so that part made sense. Except what did he think he was going to be able to see in the dark?

      “It’s gonna be hard to see up here pretty soon,” she reminded him with a smile.

      The one he gave in response emphasized the shape of his mouth, its bottom lip fuller than she’d noticed before. She was shocked at the flutter of desire in her lower body.

      “I like the dark.”

      The unease generated by that statement negated the attraction she’d just felt. And it wasn’t as easy to dismiss as had been his familiarity with this locale. After all, Dean said he’d spent summers here growing up.

      “Okay, then. Just be careful. I don’t think we have the manpower to mount another search and rescue.”

      “I’ll keep that in mind.” He touched the roof of the car as if in dismissal and then turned to walk toward the path they’d just descended.

      Eden eased her foot off the brake, directing her car down the narrow track. When she raised her eyes again to the rearview mirror, Jake Underwood had already disappeared into the forest.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
