Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 64

The man squared up near the passenger door, winding up for another devastating kick aimed at Logan's ribs.

Logan's reflexes flared. He yanked the car door wide open just in time.

The kick slammed harmlessly into the heavy door. Before the man could retract his leg, Logan flipped his momentum, pinned his opponent's arm, and locked him in an inescapable hold.

The man groaned in defeat.

"Boss, you always fight dirty!"

Logan released Leo West with a breathless laugh. "Dirty? Who was the one trying to ambush me?"

"I was just testing your reflexes to see how you're recovering. Looks like you're still in peak condition. Not just physically, either. You're still as cunning as ever, you old fox."

Logan scoffed. "Cut the crap. What are you doing here?"

Leo's expression instantly sobered. "Boss, we've got a classified op. You're the only specialist the unit can send."

"I'm on leave!"

"Just two weeks," Leo pressed. "Commander Marshall knows you're newly married and technically still on medical leave, but the squad needs you."

Logan let out a bitter laugh. "More manipulation. I told him three months ago I was perfectly fine. That old fox forced me onto leave and into the marriage lottery just to hit his fertility quotas. Now that he's short on manpower, he suddenly needs me back."

Leo gave him a sympathetic look. "Well, you're one of the only guys who actually got hitched. We're counting on you. You're the pride of the unit."

Logan walked over to the sink, scrubbing the grease off his hands. "Spit it out. What's the mission?"

"It's an extreme priority, Boss. Wheels up immediately."

Logan thought of Sloane. "I need to make a call."

"Make your call, but strict operational security applies."

Logan grabbed his phone, ready to dial Sloane's number. He stopped, realizing she might be in the middle of a complex surgery. He didn't want to break her concentration.

Instead, he fired off a quick text: *An emergency came up. I have to go out of town for a while.*

He hit send and powered the device down completely.

*

It was past nine that night when Sloane finally saw Logan's message.
