She heard Tanner sit on the bed behind her, the springs creaking. “So be it,” he said. “The military’s always been my family’s blood. It’s my blood, this is who I am. But I’m not going to let Mona get tortured by these Regulator bastards. No. I don’t care what the cost is.”
She stopped throwing things into her bag. Holding a bottle of shampoo, she tapped the lid on her hand. She trusted Tanner, and he was saying all the right things. But was he going to back her up when it came time? His family had a long history in the military. She couldn’t fathom him throwing it all away, least of all for her. “I can’t ask you to do this.”
He shook his head. “I’m not asking you to. I’m doing this for me. This isn’t right, what’s happened.”
Emersyn took a deep breath. Some of the weight shifted from her, relief washed over her mind. It was nice to have someone on board, standing by her side. She reached up and wrapped Tanner in a hug, and he enthusiastically reciprocated.
She didn’t know what was going on with Mona, but she was going to find out. She was going to save herself.
