Chapter Seventeen

Isabel was beyond furious. She clenched her jaw. The nerve of that man, she thought.

“Get him back on the line.”

Patrick tried calling the number but it just went to voice mail. Isabel left a long-winded message that made it clear that when she did bring him in, she was going to make sure that he was prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If that phone call hadn’t pissed her off, the next one did. It came from Simon Thorpe.

She saw his name on the caller ID and initially let it go to voicemail but he persisted in calling. Hesitantly she answered, keeping the phone a distance away from her ear. She had a strong feeling that what was coming wasn’t going to be pleasant.

“What the hell are you playing at?”

“And how’s your day, Simon?” she replied.

“Don’t be coy with me. You are meant to be on vacation not interrogating someone in Chicago!”

“I’m visiting, I thought I would—”

“Don’t bullshit me, Isabel.”

That was the second time he had used her first name.

“Now I want you to drop whatever it is you are looking into.”

“It’s Winchester,” she just blurted it out. There was no point in trying to hide it, he would eventually find out and then he would be even more pissed off.

“I told you…”

“I was just on the phone with him.”

Thorpe went quiet.

“He’s in Peru, investigating the disappearance of a young woman.”

“Investigating?” he started laughing. “A mobster?”

“That’s not all. Seems he put an ad online advertising his services. Which would explain why he hasn’t shown up as having taken any job.”

“Right, but he could have been taking money under the table.”

“He’s doing what he used to do but now trying to help people by the looks of it.”

“I don’t care if he’s started a goddamn charity. You want to get to the point?’

“I’m going after him.”

“No you’re not.”

“I’m not on the bureau’s time. You said it yourself. If I wanted to look into it, I could as long as it wasn’t while working. I’m officially on vacation.”

She heard him sigh on the other end. He was probably doing that thing he did with his knuckles where he tapped them against his forehead as if he was trying to kick start his brain.

“You know how much shit I’m going to have to deal with if this goes south or anyone finds out that you are looking into this?”

“I think you can handle it. Are we good?”

There was a pause. “Fine. But I want daily updates.”

“Will do.”

After getting off the phone her first order of business was booking a flight to Cusco, after that she returned to 420 Dispensary to get further details on what James had told Jack but may have left out of their previous conversation.

Before she left Patrick she made it clear in no uncertain terms that if Jack contacted him at any point that he was to get in touch with her and let her know what he said.

“If you leave even one small detail out,
