Monday morning, soon after Miranda left for work, Andrew caught a break.

“I’ve found Sandy,” Pietro said when Andrew answered his cell phone.

The relief that washed over him was immense. He had to get to Victor, and Sandy, Victor’s foot soldier and one-time mole at Sterling Enterprises, was the best path. “Where is she?”

“She moved into an apartment downtown. It’s a brand-new building. Not a lot of residents yet, but they have major security.”

“Do you think we have any chance of getting to her?”

“Yes. We have found a way to access the garage and my guys have a good sense of her schedule. I’m outside the building right now.”

Andrew grabbed his car keys from the desk. “I’ll meet you.”

“I have it under control, Mr. Sterling. I don’t know that it’s safe.”

Andrew admired Pietro’s dedication to protecting him, but Andrew was done caring about himself. He had to get to Victor. He had to find a way to convince him to stop. Andrew cared deeply about undoing the harm he’d done by setting the plan to destroy Sterling’s chance at the Seaport Promenade project. But much more than that now, Miranda and the baby were the most important thing. He would not let them be hurt, physically or financially. More than that, he would not fail with the promises he’d made.

“I’ll be fine,” Andrew said. “Just ping me your location, okay?”

“Of course, Mr. Sterling.”

Miranda and the baby were front and center in his thoughts as Andrew climbed into his car and zipped out through Miranda’s gate. His heart was racing as he realized what it would mean if he got to Sandy and she was able to convince Victor to stop. He would have fixed the problem he’d created. He would also have no more reason to stay in San Diego with Miranda. The last few weeks had been incredible, a taste of the life he’d wanted so badly but couldn’t help but think wasn’t ultimately meant for him. It might be best to resolve everything, move on and leave Miranda to her life. But if he did that, it would be the hardest thing he’d ever done. There was a nagging sense that it wasn’t the answer, but it was certainly the simplest solution—get through the pain and move past it.

He found Pietro on a side street. “Any sign of her?” Andrew asked as he climbed out of his car and met him on the sidewalk.

“She should be pulling out of the garage soon. We have surveillance that says she just left her apartment.”

“What are we waiting for?” Andrew asked, starting across the street.

“I was waiting on you.” Pietro jogged behind him to catch up.

At the garage entrance was a keypad. Pietro punched in a code and the metal door rolled up. Andrew made a mental note to give the man a raise. He never failed to amaze him. Inside, it was evident the building was both brand-new and for only the most well-heeled. Everything was pristine. It was more like a waiting room for cars, with no evidence of smells like motor oil or gasoline.
