Danny and Tina; we will have to finish this later.” She gave him a questioning glance before she caught his arm and pulled him back for another quick kiss. “I am going to hold you to it later.” Dillon smiled as he stroked his thumb across her kiss swollen bottom lip. “Listen Cam we need to clear something up. But if your brother catches us like this he is liable to castrate me and neither of us wants that.” Camille reluctantly let go of him. She tried to smile as he went to answer the door.
    Dillon opened the door giving Tina a big smile, he knew she was wondering what was going on. “Hey Tina come on in.” Daniel looked as if he was going to the gallows. Dillon hadn’t given him much information over the phone. Dillon closed the door and led them to the living room where Camille greeted her brother and his wife with a smile. “Hey you guys.”  Camille gave Tina a big hug.” She led Tina over to the couch. As they sat, Tina gave Camille a questioning look. Daniel signaled Dillon and the two men went into the kitchen. “So what’s going on? You said I needed to bring Tina why?” Dillon squared his shoulders his friend was not going to like what he was about to tell him. “The ID on the finger print we got off that car from yesterday belongs to Xavier.”
    Dillon watched as Daniel shagged against the wall. “Are you sure about that?” Dillon went to one of the kitchen cabinets and pulled out a bottle of whiskey and a shot glass. He handed Daniel the glass, his best friend couldn’t make eye contact he just lifted the glass for Dillon to pour him a drink. He drank the brown liquid down in one gulp, and then he lifted it again for another shot. When he finished the second shot, he saw Zane and Butch enter the kitchen neither man made eye contact with Daniel. He knew without them telling him that the ID came back positive it was Xavier and things were going from sugar to shit. The question was why was he after Camille?
    Dillon asked the question. “Have you got a positive ID? Zane nodded; yeah the ID is positive, somehow he slipped through customs and came into the states. He’s been off the radar every since.” he stopped as he looked at Dillon and Daniel. Before Daniel could find the strength to say anything Tina and Camille entered the kitchen. Camille went to Dillon he put his arm around her. Daniel didn’t miss the gesture. He just didn’t have time to worry about it at the time. “Have you confirmed the ID you were checking on?” Camille asked. Dillon was the one to answer that question. “Yeah we have confirmation.” Tina stood next to Daniel. “So would someone like to fill me in on what’s going on? You have an ID so now you can let the police handle it right?” Tina looked at the faces of the men her husband call friends, no they were more than friends they were Brothers, and they would give their lives for each other. She knew that look, she’d seen it before and it always meant trouble.
    Daniel took Tina’s hands in his and kissed them. He pulled out the chair in front of him and motioned for her to sit, then he looked to his sister, Camille took the seat next to Tina. Butch, Zane and Dillon turned to leave. “Dillon I want you to stay.” Dillon stopped; he turned and looked at the man who had been his best friend for longer than either of them could remember. “Are you sure about that? Daniel nodded and Dillon came to stand near the counter; this was going to be ruff.
    Danny you’re scaring me Tina said looking at her husband. “We have a positive ID on the man who is trying to hurt Camille. His name is Xavier. That’s why I need to talk to the two of you. I know this man from when we all were deployed, it was our first tour of duty and we were all fresh out of boot camp. I told you they recruited us for special opts and once in we had to pick our team, so naturally we picked Zane and Butch. Once we were finished with training, they sent us out on special missions, we did
