Hacked (Warriors of Light Book 5) (13 page)

“Very bad, indeed,” Demaratus agreed. “We need to find them all sooner rather than later. Especially Mercury’s VV. By the goddess, he’s been in this world longer than I can even imagine. To go it alone for that long, with only the vaguest sense of hope keeping you moving forward every day, is amazing. While I wasn’t sure I’d ever find you, I had gained some hope over the years that maybe I’d be blessed eventually.”

“Well, I’m happy you found me. You needed me as much as I needed you, and now that we’re together, we can do anything, right?” She kissed the side of his cheek. “I need to get to work, babe. Thank you for coming to save me.”

“Of course we can do anything together. We’re the perfect team.” Pressing a kiss to her lips, he gave her a small smile. “I love you, little warrior. Get doing what you do best, and I’ll see you later. I’m going to check on Mercury before I head down to the training room. If you’re interested, I’ll be doing some sword work later this afternoon.”

“Hell yeah, I’ll be there.” She grinned. “Anything to get to watch you half-naked with a sword.” She winked at him. “Go calm him down and I’ll see what I can do here, okay?”

Nodding, he gave her a squeeze and another kiss, then dumped her back into her chair. With a wink over his shoulder, he left her to do what needed to be done.

Holly watched Demaratus walk away and smiled. “Heavens, I love that man.” She turned back to the keyboard then, typed in a few commands, and once more started to look for the lost VV’s that Helen had hidden from them all this time. It was the least she could do for these men who put everything on the line to keep the world safe.

Grabbing another Twizzler, she chewed it and frowned. “I don’t think he even realized that I told him I think I know where Billy is. Silly man.” She sent that information to Mercury as well. Maybe luck would be on their side and they would catch the little bastard.
