Page 31 of Training Rain
Will’s cheeks reddened just a touch and he looked down at Yas. “I didn’t know you had a dog with you.”
Rain had a jolt of panic about flying with Yas. Would Will be opposed to taking the dog?
Jess answered before she had the chance to defend Yas. “He found us. Saved our lives today.”
Will crouched down and patted his knee. Yas’ tail immediately went into wagging overdrive and he rushed forward to get a good pet and scratch behind the ear. Yas licked Will’s face and the big man laughed. “Looks as if you’re a regular part of the Alliance then, boy.”
It was an extremely nice airplane. Luxury seating for eight in leather recliners. Will put on his headset and radioed about the situation before he ran a final check in the cockpit. Rain and Yas settled into the comfortable seats.
Will asked, “Where do you want to go? Tessa told me on the radio just now, she doesn’t think going back to Nevada is a good idea. If they’re after you, best not to lead them back to the home base. I think we need to go somewhere we can make a stand. Maybe capture one of them and find out what he knows.”
Jess slid into the seat next to Rain and wrapped his hand around hers. “Let’s go to my turf then. We can act as the bait and lure them in. Find out exactly what we’re dealing with. My first impression is that they followed me here and hadn’t intended to kill Rain.”
Will brimmed with excitement. “New Orleans it is!”
There was no doubt in her mind that he was excited over their destination. She’d never met anyone as enthusiastic as their pilot.
Jess chuckled and closed his eyes.
