" We heard you were bringing in precious cargo," Ben said to Lorcan.
"Amelia needs Quinn, and Keelan... I don't think anything can be done for him. But I promised Aiden we'd try," Lorcan said.
The blond pulled out a walkie-talkie. "Gamma Kitten One, this is Adonis, have Foxy Boy on standby to receive Big Sister-Cousin, over."
"I really fucking hate that you got Adonis and I got Gamma Kitten One!" a male voice complained.
"Take it up with management," the blond said flippantly. "Over and out."
"Ben, who's Foxy Boy?" Lorcan asked as they ran.
"Quinn, that's the name Meryn gave him because his last name Foxglove."
"Gods, I can't imagine the call sign she's given me," Lorcan said.
"Lorelei," Ben said with a grin.

" Who's Adelaide?"
"She's Aiden's mom. Her squire, Marius, makes the best cake I have ever eaten." Meryn patted her belly.
Gavriel sat forward. "You're driving?"
Beth shook her head. "We were going to walk."
He paled. "But, it is a thirty-minute walk. There are animals and branches, and exposed roots." Gavriel's eyes looked a bit wild.
Beth placed a comforting hand on his arm. "I'll be fine."
"Yeah, if they get into trouble, Meryn can always come back here to tell us Beth has fallen down the well," Colton joked.
"What the fuck am I? Lassie? You're the dog," Meryn shot back.
"I'm not a dog!" Colton protested.
Gavriel turned to Aiden. "Are there wells?"
Laughing, Beth shook her head. "Fine, we'll drive. "
