her
coffee on him. It was completely random.” He blinked as his eyes
cleared and he settled back into the role of ex-agent. “Do you
think he has something to do with this?”
    Until Spencer had proof, he didn't want to
fuel Miller's hatred for his daughter's boyfriend. “I'm just trying
to cover all my bases. I'll get our intelligence division to do a
full background on him.”
    “I already did. He's clean.”
    Spencer planned to have McKoy get his sister
involved. If she really was as good as Weber claimed, she'd be able
to dig up more on Salazar. “I'll check again. Something isn't
adding up.”
    Miller lifted his brow as his voice tensed
with sudden interest. “And you think Damon is somehow
involved?”
    “Like I said, I'm just trying to cover all my
bases.”
    Miller thrust out his chin, a tell expressing
his disapproval. He did the same gesture when Salazar put his hands
on Martha Miller's shoulders. “I see you called in K-SAR. Another
base to cover?”
    Spencer braced himself for the explosion.
He'd had to stand in front of Miller and five other members of the
board to justify his actions when they found out about his
relationship with Kathryn. “K-SAR is our best search and rescue
contact.”
    “And the fact that you have a hard-on for the
owner doesn't have anything to do with it?”
    He tensed but said nothing. It was none of
Miller's fucking business how Spencer felt about Kathryn or what
body parts stood up to take notice. “Anything else, sir?”
    “I want to talk to her.”
    “I can arrange that.”
    “Alone.”
    Spencer glared. “Sorry. If you want to talk
to her, you have to do it with me there.”
    Miller sighed. “I know I'm not privy to the
same information since I'm no longer an active TREX agent, but I
still deserve a little respect. I know you were ordered to come up
with a story. I know she's probably bucking you every step of the
way. And I don't give a shit about any of that. Bring my grandson
back to me and I'll make sure the board looks the other way this
time.”
    Shock stunned Spencer and it took him a
second to recover. He kept his voice calm, even, as he asked,
“On?”
    “You and Kat Davis's relationship.”
    “There is no relationship.” His chest pinched
as he said it. Miller had the most influence on the board. Did he
just give Spencer permission to be with Kathryn?
    “If you say so.”
    Shit. He couldn't think about that right now.
He had to stay focused. “Let's get that coffee.”
    As they rounded the Com Van, Spencer
literally ran into Kathryn. She stumbled back and if he hadn't
reached out and caught her, she would have fallen right on her
sweet ass.
    “Who's this?” Miller asked.
    “Why are you out of the Com Van?” Spencer
growled at the same time. They only planned their cover if Miller
arrived alone. Nothing in their plan made any allowance for Martha
or her little shadow. He couldn't allow Kathryn to talk to Martha
or the boyfriend.
    “I wanted to see if anyone wanted
coffee.”
    “I'd love some,” Miller announced, a gleam in
his eye.
    Son of a bitch.
    “I'll bring it in with me. Then you can tell
me more about the cabin.” She smiled sweetly and Spencer grit his
teeth. God damn her. She did that on purpose. And, just like
that, everything they'd gone over for the last hour went right out
the window.
    How in the hell did she know about the
fucking cabin?
    “Perfect.” Miller even smiled as he gave her
a nod.
    “I'll be right there,” Spencer told Miller
and waited until he disappeared behind the flap of the tent before
grabbing Kathryn and dragging her ass far enough away so their
guests wouldn't hear them. “What the hell are you doing?”
    “Running my search.”
    “This was not part of the plan.”
    “Neither was Martin Miller having guests.
Plans change.”
    He couldn't argue that, even though the way
she responded to it pissed him off. “How did you know about that
cabin?”
    She pointed at the window directly above
their head. The
