all the time. The TEU worked closely with the CIA heads to eliminate the world’s most heinous criminals. They were brought in for their stealth so no one was the wiser when those who had the potential to cause world disasters disappeared.
    Caedon was proud of his work with the TEU. Using his computer skills, working with his hands was a skill that came from his family . His family might be alive after years of believing them dead. The thought that this could be true had shaken Caedon but he wanted facts. He refused to be a pansy and get emotional with this case, at least until he knew a hell of a lot more about the intel . Like any other mission, he’d get the facts and make a determination on his own terms.
    “Thanks for coming so quickly,” Lucas spoke to them even as he opened the door. “I briefed Madden quickly and he agreed for us to handle this. Of course, we all understand he’s somewhat busy.”
    Snickers erupted and the air seemed lighter for a few minutes as the men relaxed. They each took seats around the table.
    Lucas focused his gaze on Caedon. “You’ve claimed your mate. I know that means now isn’t a good time for you to be away , so I’m recommending the four of you go to Italy on a little recon.”
    “The four of us?” Caedon asked.
    “Seamus and Donovan will provide backup to you and Eloise who will simply be there for your Acclimation period . ” Lucas explained.
    “No, absolutely not. Are you out of your mind?” Caedon slammed his fist on the table, “You would have me put her in the middle of potential danger?”
    “Would you not go? I imagined you would insist on being on the next jet out of here,” Lucas raised his eyebrow and waited.
    Caedon looked toward each man. None gave any indication what they were thinking. Was Lucas right? He couldn’t stay here if there was a chance his parents were alive. Shit, he needed more facts.
    “What do we know?” He’d focus on the facts. Then he’d make a decision.
    “We got information that there’s a stronghold in the back hills. CIA heat sensors pick ed up weakened signals consistent with the look of our own. We’re assuming there are Breeds in there. That wasn’t enough for us to make a move,” Lucas paused, running his hand over his jaw, “ b ut when you put it together with the intel on Andreas and Angelica Pisano, pieces start to shift.”
    The mention of his parents’ names caused Caedon to stiffen his back. He’d become accustomed to knowing he’d lost them. He’d found himself another family here with the TEU and the men he worked with. That still didn’t mean he didn’t wish like hell he had them in his life. And now with a mate, what he wouldn’t do to introduce them to Eloise.
    “You know we were never clear on how their deaths went down, Caedon,” Seamus was talking. Caedon was sure he missed some of what Seamus said but he caught the edge in Seamus’s voice and knew he wanted in on this mission. Seamus had been at the site when his parents were supposedly killed. Their deaths had been hard on Seamus too and this was his chance at redemption.
    The room was silent for a long time. Caedon needed the chance to shuffle through his mind and sort out his emotional reactions from the facts. He’d nearly made the decision that he was going to Italy when Donovan spoke up.
    “Caedon, you have a mate now. We get it. We all saw what it did to Madden. That protective instinct is a killer, bro. If you can’t go, Seamus and I will check it out. We’ll get them out if it’s them.”
    “You don’t have to go,” Seamus added.
    “Yes I do. We’ll go. Eloise is tough and if I explain this to her, she’d want in anyway,” Caedon resolved. He turned to his computer and began looking through the latest report on the supposed intel about his parents.
    “Okay then. We’ll get you out of here by tomorrow morning. Let me tell you what we’ve got,” Lucas got down to business. The men spent another few hours going over
