Brady led Emily inside the police station and stopped her just beyond the door. “You can take the vest off now if you want.”

“Thanks.”

He helped her shrug out of the body armor he’d insisted she wear before leaving the 911 call center. “You’ve been kidnapped, almost blown up, and shot at twice,” he’d pointed out. “I think it’s time for some precautions.”

She hadn’t argued with him. A fact he appreciated since he wasn’t sure he’d win if it came down to a battle of the wills. But she didn’t have a death wish and apparently picked her arguments wisely.

Linc and Derek would stay close by but would take the time to catch up on whatever it was they needed to do while Brady and Emily were in one of the safest places in the city. The basement of the main law enforcement building.

He led her downstairs to the office where David Unger worked day in and day out using his tech skills to help fellow officers catch the bad guys. Brady rapped on the door, and without turning from the monitor, David waved a hand, motioning for them to enter. “Find a seat.”

Brady took the chair closest to David, and Emily lowered herself into the one next to him. He set the vest on the floor. “Thanks for doing this, David,” he said.

“No problem.” David finally spun to face them. “Sounds like some serious stuff going on.”

“It’s always serious. David, meet Emily. Emily, David.”

“Thank you for making this a priority,” Emily said.

“Of course. I’m sorry about your friend.”

“Thanks.” She blinked rapidly, but no tears fell. Her shoulders straightened and her jaw tightened.

David turned back to the computer. “Thanks to the cooperation of the the newspaper people, I’ve got the footage right here. I’m going to start inside the newsroom and then we’ll trail her out into the outer area, to the elevator, and across the street to the parking garage. From what I can tell, she’s not carrying a laptop or any other bag except her purse. Unless the laptop’s so small it fits in that.”

Emily leaned forward. “No, she has one of those cross-body messenger bags that she uses for the laptop.”

David clicked the play button and the footage started with a woman sitting at her desk.

“Is that Heather?” Brady asked.

“Yes,” Emily said, her voice taut with emotion.

David zoomed in on Heather and kept the footage focused on her as she moved. “So,” David said, “it’s late. 11:21. She’s working. I guess she decides to call it a day, gets up, and grabs her purse.”

“But not her messenger bag,” Emily said. “She’s using her desktop while she’s working. I don’t see her laptop anywhere.”

“And then she exits, goes to the elevator. Waits. Goes down and out of the building. I was able to pull some footage from where she entered the parking garage and got on the elevator.” David paused it. “And see this here? I think this guy is following her. He’s got a ski mask in his hand, but we get a brief glimpse of him before he steps into the stairwell.
