Atlas was way ahead of her and was already across the room turning the knob, he pushed open the door and stood back to reveal a bed which was made and it looked like it hadnโt been touched since. The only other door was across the room and she presumed it was a bathroom. Atlas stepped across the room and opened it, it was empty.
โHeโs not here.โ
โI wonder where he couldโve gone.โ Naya let the hand that was holding her weapon relax by her side. They both cautiously made their way back to the front of the house and looked around.
โI donโt see a barn or anything.โ
โMe neither. I did see a small shed outback with some farming equipment in it, but I cleared it and there wasnโt anyone hiding.โ
โI donโt like this.โ
โMe neither.โ Atlas agreed. โAnd his car is here.โ They stared at the car as if it would move any second. Naya and Atlas glanced in the cab and the bed, both were completely devoid of anything of use.
โSo, where would our farmer friend go without a car when the closest sign of civilization is over ten miles away?โ Naya surveyed the fields of wheat which approached the homestead from every side.
โBeats me.โ Atlas took one last glance around the driveway area then turned towards the car.
Without another word they got back in and headed towards the precinct.
CHAPTER 14
NAYA
The next afternoon Naya stood in front of her mirror for what felt like forever. She felt a bit like she was back in high school. Honestly, that was probably the last time she cared this much about a date.
When she moved here she hadnโt brought any cute clothes that would work for a date with her. She had planned to work most of the time, and then hang out at home with Vance in her loungewear, like any average woman. So, when she came home from work the reality of the situation set in. She had realized she had no idea if she had anything to wear on a date.
She had tried asking Kevin where they were going, but he wouldnโt relent. He had said it was a surprise, and he was intent on keeping it that way. After about an hour of staring at her measly wardrobe in disdain, Naya decided on her favorite pair of jeans pairing it with the most elegant long-sleeved blouse she had, it was a deep emerald. She still looked a little more professional than cute, but this was as good as it was going to get. Kevin had said that her jeans looked great on her at least.
As she was grabbing her jacket and purse she heard a commotion from downstairs, she assumed that meant the guys had arrived. She stopped in front of her mirror for a split-second and debated putting on some makeup for the second time since she had moved to Denver, but she knew that if the others were there then Kevin was probably already waiting. Besides, heโd already seen her on numerous occasions without makeup.
Kevin was waiting at the bottom of the stairs when she went down. She couldnโt tell if he had done it on purpose or not, but he seemed slightly more dressed up than normal. He was wearing dark jeans, a navy collared shirt, and a gray pullover sweater. Naya felt herself blush, he looked good, hot even, her mind supplemented.
โAre you ready?โ He held out his hand and bowed ever so slightly, as if this was a scene from some old movie, it made her want to giggle.
โI am, I should just say goodbye to Vance.โ
โYou can, but we wonโt be gone that long. And Sebastian and Trevor are with him.โ
Nayaโs mouth quirked to the side. Kevin was right, Vance wasnโt a child, he would survive for a few hours while she went out on a date.
โYouโre right, shall we go?โ
He smiled and continued to be the perfect gentleman, opening the door for her, even though it was her house.
โDo I get to know where we are going now?โ She asked as they got into the car.
โNope. And donโt even try to guess. Youโre lucky I didnโt go as far as to try blindfolding you.โ
โYeah, Iโm a cop, we donโt like that type of stuff.โ Naya teased, she eyeballed Kevin as he navigated the side streets, his large hands moving smoothly over the leather wheel.
โI know, Iโm not an idiot.โ
It was quiet in the car so Naya decided to start a conversation the only way she could think to.
โSo, is this the part where I ask what your favorite movie is or something?
โSounds about right. But I suppose I havenโt been on a proper date in a while.โ
She raised her eyebrows. โA fine specimen like yourself doesnโt have a date every weekend?โ
โThat the type of guy you pinned me as?โ He asked in surprise.
She shrugged. โIโm not going to lie, a bit, yeah. You came across so confident when you were talking to me that it seemed you had a bit of experience talking to women, like, flirting with them.โ
His eyes flickered in her direction. โWell, I guess your detective skills are a bit off. I donโt think Iโve been out with a girl in six months. And before that I was single for almost two years.โ
Naya decided to be cheeky. โAnd youโre how old?โ
โThirty-two, same as Vance.โ
โHmmโฆโ She mocked,
