Page 50 of Chaos has a Name
Only, a girl had to do what a girl had to do when it came to protecting her family—specifically Ethan.
He glanced over at his new husband.
“Nah, I’ll take this version. It was well worth it to do what had to be done,” he stated. “Right, partner?”
Elizabeth nodded and held out her fist for the bump.
It absolutely was.
“I like to picture Toady all stirred up and freaking the fuck out over it. That kinda makes me feel all sunshiny and bright,” she admitted.
Ivan went there. HeDIDone thing.
He flipped her off.
Silently.
Yeah, he was not amused.
Chris was to the point.
“I have my team at R&D, trying to retrieve it. If it’s possible, she’ll have her memories back. If it’s not, we’ll have to give her the next year to relearn. It’s not easy to hack the most well-protected computer system created on the market.”
They suspected as much.
“When I asked my employees to do just that, they stared at me like I was crazy. Elizabeth don’t go to that office. Ever. You’re on their shit list.”

Hindsight…she probably shouldn’t have pulled the trigger on that code.
Nah.
It had been worth it to save Ethan and their family. She’d do it again, too.
In.
A.
Heartbeat.
“If anyone can save her, I know it’s the computer geniuses you have working for you. They’ll put their nuts together and work it out.”
Callen snickered from his seat, and Gene just laughed.
“I wasn’t talking about a circle jerk, Callen. You are in the gutter again.”
Yes, he was.
