Unable to stay seated any longer, Grey came to stand beside Irelyn. His natural instinct was to protect her. Defending her was as normal to him as breathing. He also knew she would want to handle the matter in her own way and wouldn’t appreciate his interference. Irelyn could take care of herself, but that didn’t mean he didn’t want to butt in and defend her. His jaw was taut with the need to demand that they trust her as much as he did.

“In case anyone has doubts, I want to make my position perfectly clear.” His eyes hit on everyone in the room, and then he centered his gaze on Gallagher. “I trust Irelyn, wholly, completely. In fact, there’s no one I trust more.” His eyes roamed around the room again. “Anyone here who disagrees with her working with us to find this person should feel free to leave. No questions asked. There are plenty of other projects to work on.”

Everyone remained silent, including Gallagher. Grey hadn’t expected anything different. Nick might have his doubts about Irelyn, but his loyalty to the Grey Justice Group and what they stood for was unquestionable.

“Okay. Now that that’s settled, let’s take a look at what we’ve got.”

The lights dimmed slightly, and a large screen lowered from the ceiling. Thirty-six names appeared on the screen.

“We’ve narrowed the list down to these men and women,” Kennedy said.

Still standing beside him, Irelyn nudged him with her shoulder, gave him a wry grin. “These are the only ones you’ve managed to piss off enough to want to kill you?”

He returned her grin. “I’m sure there are many more, but these are the ones who can afford to pay someone to do the deed.”

“Our criteria was fairly broad,” Kennedy said. “Any business or individual who had an association with any Grey Justice company where there might be bad blood or harsh feelings. We went back five years, as you suggested.”

Grey nodded his agreement. If anyone was after him because of what they perceived as a bad or unfair deal, it would make sense that it was somewhat recent.

“And those are just the ones we know about,” Charlie interjected.

“True,” Grey said. “I’m sure there are three times as many who didn’t show any outward resentment, but felt it all the same.”

That was the nature of doing business. He never dealt unfairly with a competitor, but neither did he back away from doing what he thought was best for his companies. That didn’t sit well with some people.

“I’m sure there are more,” Grey added, “which is why capturing the hit man would have been our best bet.”

“And that didn’t happen.”

There was no accusation in Nick’s tone, but the message was heard nevertheless. Irelyn had killed the one man who might have been able to tell them what they needed to know. Grey wouldn’t reveal that the man was her brother. If and when she wanted anyone else to know, that was her right.

Irelyn released a loud, exasperated sigh. “Oh, for heaven’s sake, Nick.
