Finding Love

Chapter 13

Alora's POV

Lynn: AJ has work all day tomorrow. Wanna go grab some breakfast?

I smile as I stare at the text, unable to help it.

Alora: I guess

Lynn: You guess???

Alora: I might be busy

Lynn: Then clear your plans. Meet you at 11 :)

I grin, knowing damn well I have no plans tomorrow. I never have plans on Sundays. But I can't sound too eager.

My phone is suddenly grabbed from my hand.

"Hey!" I scowl at the culprit, who happens to be my Uncle Sage.

He shoots me an unimpressed look. "Jay would put you on house arrest if he finds out you're texting during a mission," He tells me.

I cross my arms over my chest, glaring. "Give me my phone."

He shoots me a challenging look. "Pay attention."

I narrow my eyes on him. "I am the heiress," I remind him. This time, ten years? He'll be answering to me and Becca. He should be trying to ensure he stays on our good side.

Sage leans down close to my face since he towers over me due to being a giant at 6'5. I tilt my chin up at him. "And I'm your uncle, who still kills spiders for you."

My face heats with embarrassment immediately, and I quickly grab my phone from his hand and shove it in my pocket.

I hear Sage chuckle while I glare at the ground, wondering what lie I can tell my dad that will get Sage in trouble.

"All clear," Morgan suddenly whispers.

I look up and see her walking back to us.

"Shoot Sage for me," I tell her. Morgan frowns, glancing at her husband. "Do I have to?" She mumbles.

Sage hums, wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her into his side. "Of course you don't."

I scowl at him. "I'm not allowed to text, but you're allowed to do this?" I say in disbelief.

Sage, who doesn't seem at all ashamed, just shrugs. "It's called being double your age."

I roll my eyes and turn my back to him. "I miss when you were the quiet uncle," I mumble, which makes him chuckle.

"Any minute now," Becca suddenly says. I turn, noticing her and Charlotte have returned.

Although Dad rarely comes along on these missions to babysit us anymore, his condition is that we're not left alone.

Hence why I stayed with Sage, and Becca stayed with Charlotte.

"What did I miss?" Becca asks as she comes and stands beside me, joining my side.

"Annoying uncles," I mumble to her, making her smile.

"There they are," Our aunt Charlotte says, drawing my attention back to the job at hand.

We all watch as two black SUVs pull up. All the windows are tinted, but we know our guy is in one of them.

We're standing on a bit of a hill, staring down at the small area below. It's filled with a few dozen shipping containers, and the two cars have pulled up in the middle.

The guy we're here for is collecting something. One of these containers probably contains goods for him, but we don't care about that. Our orders are to bring him in alive.
