what he perceives as a threat, and the man waiting to take you out.”
    Rose felt a smal chil steal down her spine. Sebastian lay quietly in the front pack, snuggled against her, his blue green eyes staring around him in a kind of wonder. She suddenly felt exposed there on the roof and wanted to rush back inside and keep him safe.
    “The field of vision is always limited in a city,” Kane said, moving along the side of the roof that looked out over the street. “You have to real y take your time and study our area here. This is a very three-dimensional world, with a lot of areas for a sniper to sit back and pick off one of us. Gideon Carpenter and Ethan Myers—I think you met both of them on the helicopter—are up here daily, familiarizing themselves with every conceivable cover, both for them and for the enemy.”
    Rose narrowed her eyes and looked down at the busy street. They were near the docks, and everyone seemed to be hustling to get on or off the boats.
    She took her time, studying each warehouse, the balconies and smal alcoves and fire escapes that could hide potential enemies.
    “Once we have complete control of the buildings on both sides of the street, we’l be in a much stronger position. Our biggest problem at the moment is that building right there.” He indicated a three-story warehouse that had been renovated into apartments. “So far, we’ve been unable to purchase it.
    People come and go al the time. It would be easy enough for an enemy to infiltrate and set up shop right there. Any of the front apartments face our home.
    Gideon is building his home on the top floor of the next building and Paul has the floor beneath him. The training center wil be on the first floor.”
    “You al are keeping Paul on the middle floor, to protect him,” she mused aloud.
    Kane shrugged. “The truth is, we do look out for him, but make no mistake, Rose, Paul can handle any weapon. He went through al the same training we did, just as Jaimie did. She can work in the field, just as Paul can, but neither are real y cut out for it. The thing is, an enemy would underestimate Paul every time. He’s got courage and loyalty and would stand. I’d have him at my back any time.”
    “Yet you stil protect him. Al of you do.”
    He flashed a smal grin. “Yeah. We do.”
    Paul was special, and they al recognized it. His intel ect, his powers of observation, and his incredible psychic talent earned him a consideration, but it was his heart that had eventual y won them al over. “We’re lucky to have him on the team.”
    “So your plan is to have your homes in these buildings, with each man getting his own floor for his house.”
    “We’d command this entire street. The water on one side would be an asset and escape route, plus we’ve got an underground escape as wel . Once we secure the buildings, we’l connect the tunnels.”
    “What about the local police? How are you going to have a military compound in San Francisco?”
    “Jaimie’s adept at getting through paperwork, and of course, we’re more than wil ing to help the local police any way we can. They know we’re military, but these are our homes. This is our neighborhood. Since we’ve been here, crime has gone down significantly, not only here but in a seven-block radius around us. We know every store owner, every bar owner. We make it a point to keep goodwil . We’ve already built up a network, and we’re friends with most of the fishermen and dockworkers. They’l leave us alone.”
    “So no tanks driving through the streets.”
    Kane laughed and swept his arm around her. “Don’t sound so disappointed. We’l have plenty of excitement.”
    “Speaking of which, I thought I’d go shopping with Jaimie this afternoon. Sebastian wil be safe with you.”
    Kane felt every muscle in his body lock down. He stared down at her little pixie face. So innocent looking. So very devious. She’d dropped the bombshel on him without so much as blinking. And what the hel was he supposed to say to that? She wasn’t a prisoner. She didn’t need his permission.
    But he envisioned her first foray into their neighborhood with him as her armed guard. And maybe six or seven of the other team members.
    Babysit? She wanted him to stay home and watch the baby sleep while she walked among the enemy. There was probably an entire battalion of Whitney’s men waiting to kidnap her. And surely some spy had contacted every bounty hunter both in America and overseas,
