    About this ebook

    Every unit of the FBI has those cases that just make an agent think, make them feel, and make them wonder why people treat others the way they do. PAVAD--the Prevention & Analysis of Violent Acts Division of the FBI--was no different. This was one of those cases.


    CCU Team Three hadn't always been one of the top investigative teams in the nation. They had to start somewhere... Portland, Oregon was that start. A hacker with a story of his own was attacking specific targets in the city, each target leading up to a larger one. 


    This hacker had a story, and it might just lead Team Three straight into a terroristic plot!

    Case File #0002 is the second release in a series of mystery novellas featuring characters from the PAVAD: FBI Romantic Suspense series. These novellas feature complete suspense stories and can be read in any order.

      #0002 Knocked Down - Calle J. Brookes

      Prologue

      When Sebastian Lorcan unlocked the door to the penthouse he shared with his wife and daughter, the last thing he expected to see was three beautiful women sprawled out around his living room in extremely strange positions.

      Don’t the two of you get enough of me at PAVAD? The Prevention & Analysis of Violent Acts Division of the FBI sucked enough of his time from his family. And he knew it was the same for the two women currently curled up next to his wife on the couch.

      Still, it warmed him to see how comfortable his wife was with the other two women. Carrie’s mild autism prevented her from being too at ease with people in her space. Even these two, some of the closest members of her family.

      Hey, boss. You’re interrupting some serious TV time. The woman who spoke was dark-haired and dark-eyed—and practically upside down on his favorite black leather couch. She rolled lightly and settled in a more upright position. Your opinion? Is it logical to kill a vampire with a chair leg? In that same position?

      He was used to Paige’s weird conversational habits but it still took him a moment to figure out what she meant. Charmed? Really? Don’t the three of you get enough of kicking bad-guy ass at work?

      His sister-in-law Alessandra wife of his brother, Seth, snorted delicately. Not exactly like these three. Of course, there’s a good argument that the kind of monsters we deal with are demons, too.

      No. Not demons. Just pure evil. And Sebastian knew they all knew it, too. Each one of them had faced their own share of demons over the last few years.

      But they had triumphed. And that was what mattered the most. Where’s Maddie?

      His wife smiled. She’s sleeping. The antibiotics are working, I think. She’s been fever-free for the last two hours.

      Some of his worry lifted. There was only so much a father could handle when his child was ill. He leaned down—over Al—and kissed Carrie.

      He’d missed seeing her at the office. Their times together were far too precious, as it was. When they had the opportunity to be off work together, he took it. But it wasn’t possible with Maddie sick.

      After the baby was born, he and Carrie had discussed their family’s needs with Ed Dennis, head of PAVAD, and Hellbrook, head of the Complex Crimes Unit where both Sebastian and Carrie worked. A permanent office area near the CCU had been arranged for Carrie. She was out of the field on a mostly permanent basis but still oversaw all of CCU Team One’s cyber and computer needs. There had been several times when she’d worked from their home office when needed as well.

      It had been that, or she was set on quitting the FBI and focusing on software development. But the bureau hadn’t wanted to lose her skills, so this compromise had been made.

      She was home on a regular evening basis—but unfortunately, he was not.

      Which was why he was a little bit put out to see Al and Paige. They were so interfering with his plans.

      Go. Both of you. I want some alone time with my wife. Don’t you have husbands waiting on you? Paige, I saw yours eating a newbie special agent for lunch earlier. He should be nice and ready for you when you get home. Both women, agents on his team in the CCU, had married within the last six months. And they were just as limited in their times with their husbands as he was with his wife. He just wanted the two of them gone—as quickly as possible.

      I really wish people would get it. Mick only eats special agents who deserve it. But I do need to be going. Simon has a basketball game tonight. I told him I’d be there.

      You’re my ride, little sister. Let’s get going. Al was just as eager to go as Paige and Sebastian smiled inside, thinking about the why. We’re looking at a house this evening. And from the pictures online this might be a good one.

      His brother was batshit crazy over Al and the baby she was currently carrying. Not that anyone could tell by looking at his sister-in-law. It was still in the early stages. He remembered how he’d felt looking at Carrie just after they’d found out about Maddie. Now Seth, the wildest one of his siblings, was searching real estate listings and talking about nurseries.

      Life was funny like that.

      One minute you’re being screwed by the world, and the next you’ve found your everything.

      Five minutes later both of his sisters-in-law—Paige and Carrie were foster sisters—were out of his hair, and he had his face buried in the fire that was his wife’s. I thought they’d never leave.

      You’ve only been home eight minutes.

      It seems like they were here forever.

      Rough day? I thought it was just meetings.

      It was. Financial ones. I hate numbers. That’s Seth’s gig, not mine. And we had to review some old cases with the money crunchers. Including the Collingsworth-Lowenstern case. Remember that one? He wrapped his arms around his wife and pulled her over the top of him. He made sure to do it slowly. Even after the year plus they’d been married, Carrie didn’t like sudden movements. She lay her head on his shoulder and just rested there against him.

      She fit perfectly. She always had.

      How could I forget? It was obvious from day one that you hated working with me. Then.

      "Hated? Strong word for how I felt. Horny. Heated.
