Haunted by a painful and unimaginable past, Bojan sought refuge in his work to keep the memories-and Lacy-at bay. But, when she raises the alarm over Bullard's family, Bojan is forced to step into fray. Bullard is particularly wary of these "special" skills, except for those of Terk's team. Plus ignoring the offer of these skills can be dangerous-especially when a threat involves his family.

Lacy is helping the heavily pregnant Leia in the medical clinic, yet can't ignore the danger she sees. But triggering an alarm requires Terk's special brand of help, who then tags Bojan to step up and to handle it. Lacy had no idea Bojan would return to her in the near future. Maybe in some distant future? So finding him in the kitchen one morning is unexpected. Still, now is the time for assistance. She just doesn't know what help Bojan can offer. Or is prepared to offer ...

Particularly as things go from bad to worse.
