Chapter 8

It was approaching midnight, and the brother was not in a good mood as he kept an eye on the car belonging to the other man who worked at Moore Investigations, which was parked in one of the hospital lots.

Earlier in the evening, he had watched from his vantage point on the roof of a building across from the agency as the EMTs rolled out a man on a stretcher, put him into an ambulance, and drove away. So he saw the man he presumed was Ric Baron when he took off seconds later, following the ambulance, and made note of what the guy drove. He knew the man he’d wounded, if not killed, was Moore because the woman in the agency’s front office had mentioned him by name when she’d gone to see if he was available to talk to a new client. Too bad for him she thought I’d left when she got back. Closets are so handy at times.

When he arrived at the hospital, he checked the lots close to the emergency room, finally locating Baron’s car parked in one half a block away. He found a spot at the far end of the lot and settled in to wait for Baron to return.

Not that I’ll do anything to him, other than follow him home. That way I’ll know where to find him if he continues his search for Lily. Maybe he’ll take my warning seriously, with Moore out of the picture. If he doesn’t…

The brother smiled at his reflection in the rearview mirror. “Dealing with him will be fun. I won’t kill him. Not until I get him to tell me where to find Lily’s brat.”

He spent some time imagining all the things he could do to make that happen. Then his mood soured as he realized it was getting late and Baron still hadn’t come back for his car.

What the hell’s keeping you? Waiting to see if Moore survives? Watching over him like a good employee? He sneered at that thought, although he knew it was a possibility.

Eventually, the brother gave up waiting and returned to his hotel. Come morning, he’d go back to tracking any searches for Lily, hoping that Baron was smart enough at what he did to finally pinpoint her—and her location. If attacking his boss doesn’t stop him, that is. I guess time will tell. Either way, if I keep an eye on him, he could lead me to her bastard. When he does, one problem solved. The only one that really counts. Eliminate him and I won’t have to worry about where Lily went.

“I’ll sleep on the sofa,” Ric told Theo, moments after they entered Theo’s apartment. “It looks long enough, barely.”

“No. You can have the bed. I’ve slept on the sofa often enough I’m used to it. Besides which, I’m shorter than you,” Theo replied.

“By an inch. What happens? You fall asleep watching television?”

Theo nodded, flicking his fingers toward the short hallway and what Ric presumed was the door to the bedroom.
