Chapter 13

Evan frowned as he continued scanning through one of the many security feeds Logan had sent over. People were moving around like normal, there weren’t any weird glitches in the— Oh, hell. That was it.

Isla had been wearing a different dress yesterday. This was definitely an old feed. So whoever had delivered that laced cookie had access to security. Or hacked into it. Shiiiiiit. They’d been able to move around freely without anyone’s eyes on them.

Isla had already told her people to give Evan whatever he wanted, so he grabbed his cell phone and called the security office.

“This is Ollie.”

“Hey, it’s Evan Bishop. Is Logan there?”

“No. I’m working on an audit on all of our feeds and something is wrong,” he said. “Isla said we could loop you into anything. I found something and it’s why I came by to see her yesterday. How’s she doing, by the way?”

“As well as can be expected. She’s tough.” Tougher than anyone he knew. And if he could go back in time, build a time machine and make things right, he would.

“I’m glad to hear that. You guys back together now?”

“Yes,” Evan said, even though he and Isla weren’t. He wanted the world to think they were together again because he wanted whoever was after her to know she was protected. And that anyone wanting to hurt her would have to go through him to get to her. Ollie was a decent guy, but Evan figured he would still tell people at work about him and Isla. He wanted word to spread fast. “Now what did you find?”

“Someone hacked into the system using a security protocol that didn’t get updated. I’ve since fixed it and ensured that it won’t happen again. Some of the team and I are going to go through all these feeds one by one, so it’s a little time-consuming. Once we’re done we should be able to trace whoever hacked it back to their IP.”

He didn’t like it, but it explained the loops he’d been looking at. “Have you told the police?”

“Not yet. I’ve got to tell Isla first and then see what she says—though I imagine it will be to inform the cops. Regardless, I don’t have anything solid to give them yet and I’d rather go to them with evidence first. And I can move a hell of a lot faster than their guys anyway.” There was a touch of arrogance in his tone, but Evan figured it was earned, considering how many degrees the guy had.

“Good. I’ll let Isla know, but I’m sure she’ll want to talk to you. Keep me in the loop,” he said, even though he had absolutely no authority over Ollie. He didn’t think the guy was going to question him now though.

“Will do.”

Once they disconnected, Evan rubbed a hand over his face. Well…someone had hacked the security system. Which was bad, but it meant they had a way to track the guy.

He glanced up as Isla stepped into his office, completely dressed for work.
