A Home By the Sea (2011)
“He took a hard breath and then closed his phone. He hadn’t expected to miss her this way, like a slow, dull ache in his chest. He hadn’t expected anything like this low, raw edge of need that didn’t let up.
But she missed him, too. That meant something. The thought put a stupid grin on his face, which he quickly wiped away. No point in stirring up nosy questions from his coworkers.
Besides, there was no point in making plans. Grace had a full plate in Oregon, and… Noah rubbed his gritty eyes. H...e was just finishing his first break in six hours, swilling down a cup of bad coffee with a soggy pastry, and he wouldn’t be going home anytime soon.
He looked up as his best tech analyst trotted over with the disemboweled digital circuits and wires of a new improvised explosive device, fresh from the lab. With another shipment uncovered at the Baltimore docks, law enforcement manpower was going into deep overtime.
This assignment would probably take most of a month, Noah estimated. Right now everyone was praying that only two ships were involved.MoreLess
