Meet me at the training facility. Seven o’clock tonight. Come alone.

Kinley’s eyes widened when she saw the message. “You think that’s a safe thing to do?”

“No.” It was far from safe. But one way or another, Jordan was going to get answers.

Chapter Nine

Kinley stared at the building in front of them.

The training facility was indeed a warehouse. A huge one with a dark gray metal exterior that looked exactly like the dozen or so other warehouses that surrounded it. This was not the part of the city that tourists normally saw. It was isolated and downright spooky with the winter mist in the air and lights streaming over the metal.

While he drove into the parking area in front of the building, Jordan entered a code on his PDA, and large doors slid open so he could drive right inside. Another code closed the doors, and while Kinley approved of them not having to walk across the parking lot, the inside of the warehouse was nearly as creepy as the exterior.

Even in the dim light, Kinley could see the center of the building was open from front to end. At least a five-hundred-foot stretch. But the sides were a different matter. Not exactly open space. There were ropes dangling from the ceiling, climbing webbing and what appeared to be bunkers and rooms painted in camouflage.

“I used to train agents here,” Jordan explained.

He grabbed two thick legal-size manila envelopes, stepped out, entered something else on that PDA and more lights flared on. She didn’t know what was in the envelopes, but Jordan had been working in his office for most of the afternoon while she spent time with Gus.

Even with the lights, the place still seemed just as intimidating. The place loomed over and around her, and Kinley wondered if this had been the safest place to meet Burke and Strahan. While she was wondering, she hoped that Agent Cal Rico was as good as Jordan claimed because the man was essentially responsible for keeping Gus safe. However, if this meeting went well, if she could convince Burke and Strahan that she knew nothing about the missing research, then the danger could possibly end here tonight.

And she’d have a safe Christmas with her son.

Kinley got out of Jordan’s Porsche and walked toward where he was now standing. Her footsteps echoed on the concrete floor. “You said Agent Rico would call immediately if there was any sign of trouble back at the estate?” She already knew the answer, but Kinley needed one more reassurance that coming here wasn’t the biggest mistake of her life.

“If there’s a problem, Cal will call us,” Jordan verified. “He has a daughter a little younger than Gus, and he knows what it’s like to have a child in danger. Don’t worry. He’ll protect Gus.”

Oh, she’d still worry. Nothing would stop that.

She rubbed her hands up and down her arms. She was wearing a jacket and wasn’t especially cold, but she still felt a chill inside her. “Does Burke own this place now?”

“No.
