exposed.”
    “It’s not done. They don’t know who you are and they’re not going to.” He took a sharp right and shifted gears. He handled the car as if it were a part of him, taking another sudden turn.
    Kayla held on to her seat as Ethan cut a sharp corner and backed into a dark ally, killing the lights. The car following sped by. Ethan smiled, his blue eyes sparkling through the darkness around them. “Let’s find out who they are, shall we?”
    He flipped the lights back on and eased the car back onto the road, becoming the pursuer.
    Kayla smiled, impressed as always with Ethan. She’d seen him in battle a time or two, and his sharp mind was as much a weapon as his honed body and warrior skills.
    He kept his distance from the black Mustang ahead, the soft hum of the Porsche making it easy to keep hidden. “Do you know the car?” Kayla asked.
    “No,” Ethan said dryly. “But I have a good feeling I know where it’s headed.”
    He didn’t say more and she didn’t ask. Kayla figured she’d figure it all out when they got to wherever they were going. Ten minutes later, they pulled into the parking garage of Night Sins.
    The Mustang pulled into a spot between two other cars and Ethan hid the Porsche within the cover of two trucks. When he reached for his door, so did she.
    He paused and glanced over at her. “I don’t suppose telling you to stay in the car would do me any good.” It wasn’t a question.
    “You suppose right.”
    “That’s what I thought,” he murmured and reached for his door.
    As quietly as possible, Kayla eased outside the car and around the back bumper to come up beside Ethan. And she saw what he did. Jac walking toward the hotel.
    “I guess we just confirmed our suspicions,” Kayla said when she knew Jac was out of hearing range.
    Ethan didn’t respond, reaching for his cell instead and hitting a speed button before saying to her, “I’m taking you home.”
    She didn’t get a chance to argue because he was already on the phone and getting back into the car. Kayla slid into the passenger side again just in time to hear his short conversation.
    “Rigo. It’s Ethan. Our leak is Jac.” There was silence for a moment. Then, “Don’t let him so much as breathe without me knowing about it. I’ll be back to the casino as soon as I can.”
    He ended the call and put the car into drive. “Are you sure you can trust this Rigo person?” Kayla asked, not comfortable trusting anyone at this point.
    “I trust Rigo,” he said, pulling out of the garage. “When I began having suspicions about my staff, I called for help. Rigo and I served together in my government’s Secret Services.”
    “Really?” She’d researched Ethan when she’d learned he was in her city and the Council had told her he’d once held a high position in his government. Even getting them to tell her that had been like pulling teeth. “I had no idea you were once SSA.”
    “Not was,” he said, maneuvering the car out of the garage. “Am. I am still a member of the SSA. I told you I was assigned this city just as you were by your Council.”
    “The casinos and clubs are all just covers?”
    “Being a big part of this city’s economic structure allows me added resources.” He gave her a sideways look. “How do you think I get the leads I give you? Or show up at just the right moment when you need help? I could do more if you’d let me.”
    The Council didn’t allow such things. They considered a low profile the best way to avoid exposing the paranormal world. “You know my restrictions.”
    “I understand the Council’s philosophies all too well. I also know times have changed. With the Brothers present, we have a new playing field with new rules.”
    “Maybe you should listen to your own words. The Brothers are endangering innocents and the secrets of our world. Even if our governments can’t work together, we can.”
    He gave her another sideways look. “It’s not about that.”
    “Then
