Rook has Misty. He's not taking another person we love, even if we all have to die to save her.The FBI failed us. We failed Misty. Ziva said trust no one at the station, but Casey got a call from someone we cleared about Jake and Dillion. Ziva ghosted us when we needed her the most. Ziva continued to ghost us while Rook has Misty.The instructions are clear. We are all summoned to a warehouse. We are to come unarmed, with no backup and no weapons. We all know we could be walking to our deaths. We know Misty could already be dead. We will go to our deaths in the hopes there is any chance of saving Misty.We have something Rook doesn't know about. Milo, Granny's pissed off ex FBI boyfriend. He will try to save the day if we can't

Our only job is to find Rook and protect Misty. But I don't have the skills my friends do to protect the woman I love. Rook has threatened Misty. We sent his Queen on the run and she nearly killed Casey on her way out. I'm not a computer genius or a cop. I'm an artist and I was a military medic. I don't have the skills to do anything except help Casey heal and just be moral support while my friends do what I can't. I feel helpless and powerless to protect Misty.Rook can't get to us in Andre's compound. He hits us where he can. He wants to get to Casey and Misty through me. He starts by trashing my tattoo shop with his queen. Everything I worked for is in ruin and my partner, Badger, is losing money because Rook decided to come at me. I thought my shop was the last of it. I should have been more vigilant in protecting those I love.Rook takes his game even further and totally guts me with his next move. I'll never fully recover and if he's willing to go that far, I don't want to think about what he will do to Misty if he gets his hands on her

Rook is not taking any more of our players under my watchRook's last move gutted all of us, but he made what is probably a fatal mistake. Little did any of us know the woman we all called Granny had a secret boyfriend. Milo is ex-FBI and he's pissed. Milo wants blood just as much as we all do. Milo has become a mentor to all of us and there are perks.We have a new mark. And we have one chance to prove to Milo's FBI friends that Rook and his deranged Queen are real and not some New Orleans police force urban legend. If we can get the FBI on our side, they can go places we can't. They'll have additional resources. They may boot us out the entire investigation, but I don't care. Rook and Serena need to pay for what they've taken from us.After their last move, I can't imagine what they have in store for Misty.

I'm running from the LAPD and my evil step father. I wasn't expecting Aiden, Andre, Gareth, and Casey.My mother finally calls to tell me she's ready to leave my abusive, corrupt cop of a step father. I planned our escape down to T. I planned for everything except Jake being there when I got to her house. I shot him...with his own gun...in the worst place you can possibly wound a man. He yelled he was never going to stop looking for me and I would pay as I fled my life in LA. Jake always wanted my trust fund. I knew if he ever found me, I wouldn't survive the encounter. He'd probably torture me first for what I did to him with his own gun.I fled to New Orleans, thinking to hide among the tourists. The first thing I did was go to a salon to change my looks. There's a huge, sexy, tattooed man sitting there getting a pedicure. He's probably one of the most infuriating men I've ever met, trying to dictate my makeover and trying to convince me to come stay with him and his probably equally infuriating buddies. I underestimated the rum content in the drinks at the restaurant I agree to go eat with them at because I was starving and wake up in their huge fortress.I make the best of my situation. I get to know Andre, the billionaire software developer who owns this huge house, Gareth, the wisecracking security guard, Aiden, the sensitive artist, and I don't even know what to make of Casey. Casey totally avoids me. I jump at the chance when they all say they want to get to know me better. It'll get my mind off my secret and they all want to protect me without asking what it is.But how can I pick? What is Casey hiding? Will Jake find me here and hurt my new friends?
