Chapter 6

“Still think he’s deserving of your concern?”

Angel didn’t even glance at Gabriel, all her attention on the man seated in the adjoining room and currently visible to her through a two-way mirror. A man she was certain she had never seen before today.

She had been slightly bemused when Gabriel first brought her in here, had thought rooms like this existed only in television programs. Ash had been standing in the room with his back turned toward the mirrored wall when she first looked through it, but as he stepped aside, she got her first look at the man who might have been part of Daniel’s kidnapping and had certainly been an accomplice in the shooting today.

There was absolutely nothing distinctive about him. He was of medium height and build as he slouched down in the chair on the far side of the table, with medium-length dark hair, and a mildly handsome face.

It was his eyes which betrayed him as the killer he no doubt was.

Intensely dark and insolently challenging eyes, as he refused to answer any of the questions Ash asked him.

After the past ten minutes of listening to Ash’s questions and that unresponsive silence, Angel bunched her hands into fists at her sides. She just wanted to go in there herself and beat the answers out of the man, to demand he tell them where Daniel was.

“No,” she finally answered Gabriel flatly, gaze fixed on the insolent man.

“Know him?”

“No.”

“Never seen him before?”

“Not that I’m aware of.”

“Ready for me to go in?”

She did glance at Gabriel then. “Make him tell you where Daniel is. Please.”

Gabriel stepped forward and kissed her lightly on the forehead. “Whatever I say or do, whatever he says and does, I want you to stay in this room and not show yourself, okay?”

“What are you going to do?”

He placed a hand beneath her chin and tilted her face up so that she looked directly at him. “Whatever it takes to find Daniel. Our intel indicates Sinclair has him in Majorca, but that could just be a ruse to delay us finding out where he really is. Whatever happens in there, I need for you to remain calm. But most of all, to remain in here. Trust me, hmm?”

How could she not trust Gabriel? He was so blunt and forthright, he wasn’t the sort of man anyone could distrust. She also now knew that if she had only waited a little longer eight years ago, before accepting Clive’s marriage proposal, that Gabriel would not only have come back but would come looking for her. She was the one who had disappeared, and taken Gabriel’s son with her.

“I trust you,” she assured him huskily.

“Thank you.” He gave her a reassuring smile before releasing her.

“You’ll be careful?”

His expression became grim as he glanced at the man seated in the other room. “It isn’t me you need to worry about.”

Her stomach cramped as she heard the deadly intent in Gabriel’s voice. “It isn’t my intention to introduce Daniel to his father in prison.
