“Biondo lied,” Will said three hours later, closing the folder in his hand. “I got the tox reports back. There was nothing in her system. There was no trace of gas at all. She’s got a minor concussion that I’ll monitor overnight, but otherwise she’s fine.”

He was still shaking. All this time later and he couldn’t stop his hands from shaking. Even after the ER nurse had come out and promised him she was awake and fine and being given all the best care, he could see her lying there still and pale, the blood on her skin a pure shock to his system.

“Remy, she’s okay,” Will said, putting a hand on his shoulder. “She’ll spend the night here and I’ll stay with her. She can go home sometime tomorrow. All in all, I’m calling this a win considering the fact that she tangled with a known assassin. Big Tag sent me the file they have on him. He’s the real deal.”

Will hadn’t been working, but he’d been at the hospital roughly ten minutes after the ambulance had brought Lisa in. Apparently when a man is the head of neurosurgery and his sister gets taken into the ER with a head injury, someone calls and fast. He’d shown up with Bridget and their son in tow because Bridget wasn’t about to be left behind. Lila, Laurel, and Mitch had been hot on their heels.

The waiting room was filled with Lisa’s family and friends, and the whole staff from Top there for both her and Linc. All those people who loved her and he was going to disappoint them all because that girl was his and she was coming home with him.

“Did he hit her with something? Like he took out Linc?” The night had been such a crazy one. He’d had to talk to cops and give Big Tag a rundown on what had happened. The problem was he wasn’t sure what had happened.

Why had Biondo tried to take her? Why hadn’t he killed her then and there? It would have been easy to put a bullet in her brain, but he’d tried to kidnap her. Hell, the infamous assassin hadn’t even taken out Linc. He’d hit the man over the head, but Linc had only a minor concussion. He was already sitting up in his hospital bed, eating popsicles and flirting outrageously with all the nurses.

“I don’t think Biondo hurt her physically at all. I believe she hit her head while she was inside the trunk,” Will explained. “I talked to her after we did her CT. She said Biondo told her he wanted to talk to her. She said he didn’t say a thing about gas or killing her. She said he wanted to talk and then they could go on with their lives.”

“Assassins lie,” Remy said. It didn’t make any sense. What could he want to talk about?

“Don’t assassins tend to assassinate?” Will asked, altogether too reasonably.

Remy sighed and leaned against the wall. “Yes. I don’t know what happened tonight, but I’m going to find out.
