THIRTEEN

The trip back to Joseph and Catelyn’s house was uneventful; however, Ian worried that staying with them might be putting the couple in danger. And yet, what was the alternative?

Here, Gina had an FBI agent, a homicide detective and a Ranger to watch over her. Realistically, she was in the safest place possible without hiding her away in a safe house somewhere.

Which might be the next step if these guys kept coming after her.

Ian’s current commanding officer had given approval for Ian to continue to work this in conjunction with his old unit and Mac. Ian had thanked the man without saying anything about not using anyone from Mac’s unit.

So, he was on his own. With Joseph and Catelyn as the backup plan.

He’d just have to see how all this played out.

And keep Gina out of the way while he was doing it.

Ian parked the car out of sight of the neighborhood street by driving around back to the small apartment garage. Gina climbed out, hard drive in hand, and made her way to the back door of her brother’s house.

Catelyn met them at the door once again, saying, “Frank’s on his way over.”

Ian raised a brow. “The computer guy?”

She nodded. “Yeah, I told him he could finish his turkey and then to get himself over here.”

Gina groaned. “What a Thanksgiving. Poor guy.”

Catelyn ushered them inside. “Don’t worry about it. Frank hates football so he was grateful for the escape. And he lives to do this stuff.”

Joseph came through the front door. “All clear. I didn’t have anyone tail me, and I’m assuming since you’re here, you didn’t see anyone either.”

“Not a soul. Kind of weird. It worries me.” Ian frowned. “I really almost expected them to try something.”

Joseph nodded. “I did, too. And like you, the fact that they didn’t has me wondering what’s next.”

“Well, while we wait on Frank, let’s eat,” Catelyn suggested.

Tension wrapped around the table as they worked hard to enjoy each other’s company, but Ian watched Joseph trek to the window and look out several times. Ian followed in his footsteps, checking the street, behind the house and the apartment.

Finally, Frank arrived just as the foursome finished up the ham sandwiches and Catelyn’s homemade vegetable soup. Joseph let the man in and led him to the dining room table. “Have at it.”

Frank, a balding man in his mid-fifties, adjusted his glasses and started unloading the equipment he’d brought. “What are we looking for?”

Ian spoke up. “Anything financial. Records, transactions, names of banks, whatever.”

“Piece of cake.”

Ten minutes later, Frank had his computer set up and the hard drive rigged to go through that system. Ian hovered over the man’s shoulder, watching. Gina stood next to him, leaning into him a bit. His heart thumped at her nearness. How he wanted this thing finished, Gina safe and the possibility of pursuing a relationship with her a reality.

“Well, that’s interesting,” Frank said.

“What?” Gina pushed in closer, trying to see the screen. Ian moved aside for her so she could.
