Chapter 11

Brennan walked across the room before he took the call. Since he had his back to her, Tiana couldn’t hear any of the words, but she tried to gauge whether the call contained good news—by their standards—or bad by watching the set of Brennan’s shoulders as he spoke to the man. She couldn’t reach a conclusion.

The call was brief.

The second he ended it, Tiana hurried across the room to him immediately. “Was that actually Roland, or one of his henchmen?” she asked.

“It was Roland. How fast can you get ready?” Brennan asked her.

“Fast enough,” she said, then gave him his due and added, “Thanks to you,” referring to the fact that he had made her headache disappear and she didn’t have to worry about every little movement bringing waves of pain with it.

Taking the suitcase that Brennan had brought up with them last night, she headed to the bathroom. She really would have loved to take a shower, but she sensed that there wasn’t time for that. She settled for a change of clothes and splashing water in her face before freshening her makeup.

Through it all, she kept the door partially open so that she could talk to him.

“What’s up?” she called out to him as she discarded what she was wearing and hurried into a fresh two-piece outfit, a formfitting, light blue-gray skirt and top that gave the illusion of a dress once on.

He knew by the sounds she was making that she was getting dressed. Brennan was tempted to draw closer to the bathroom to look in, or at least position himself so that he could see her reflected in the bathroom mirror. But with effort, he got his curiosity—and the temptation to satisfy it—sufficiently under control and gave her the space she needed to get ready.

However, his imagination was having a field day. Try as he might, there was nothing he could do to rein that in.

Answering her, he addressed his comments to the air between them.

“The timetable’s been moved up. Roland had his men move the girls again to a new undisclosed location even though, rumor has it, they’re supposed to be uprooting everyone in less than a week. He hinted that he’s not averse to making money on the side by selling off some of his—as he put it—‘inventory’ before the rest of that ‘inventory’ is shipped to an undisclosed location—most likely out of the country.”

Dressed, she came out, deftly twisting her hair behind her so that she could secure it up.

“So he’ll let us see them?” Tiana asked eagerly, pushing the last pin in.

Brennan shook his head. “Not yet. He’ll let us see the photographs.”

Even if Janie was one of the girls in the photographs, that still wasn’t good enough. Tiana needed to know where Janie was being held and if she was currently all right. “And if we insist on seeing the girls in the flesh?”

If they pushed too hard, that might backfire on them, Brennan thought. They needed to display just the right mixture of persuasion and pressure.
