Chapter Eleven

In the wake of the Solomon incident, as I now thought of it—that is, him getting beaten up, not sharing a bed with me—we decided to keep a low profile for the next few days. We left Fletcher to continue surveillance of the Connors' property while I cried off work. Solomon took a sick day to allow his body time to adjust to the bruising across his torso.

Solomon hypothesized he'd asked a few too many questions around the gym, along with his visit to Tate somehow getting out. I called him a rookie. But in my heart, I was relieved he escaped with nothing more than a cut on his cheek and bruised ribs, having gotten in a few decent blows before anything worse could happen. Not that I would admit it to him, but the attack made me jittery. If they had the audacity to pick on a man the size of Solomon, what would stop them from going after me next?

When I returned the following day, Mitch and I spent an hour going through Jillian's desktop files, but nothing sprang out. I figured it was a dead end. Roxanne could have lied. Or it could be anything. Without a diagnostic script, which Mitch categorically stated was a no, or knowing what we were looking for, it was impossible to wade through the information. Even if there were a file, it could be hidden or encrypted. I had two days left in Mitch's office, which consisted mostly of filing, answering the phone and taking messages. Solomon put in his hours at the gym, mentioning he was steering clear of sparring when it looked like I was going to ask.

"You sure there's something there?" Mitch asked me. I was in his office under the pretence of taking notes. My current colleagues didn't give me a second glance as he shut the door to his office behind us.

"That's what she said."

"I don't see anything that isn't her regular work.” Mitch held up his hands and shrugged, giving me an apologetic smile. “Jillian never used her work email for personal stuff, but I checked anyway."

"I'll get Lucas to hack her personal email again."

"I could call Roxanne over and get her to talk," Mitch suggested.

I shook my head. I didn't think Roxanne would talk one bit, not if she were worried about something, as she appeared to be. "Let me approach her," I said. "Maybe she'll talk to someone she considers impartial. Unconnected." I couldn't think why she would talk to me otherwise.

"Solomon going to be okay?" Mitch asked. I looked at him in surprise. "He keeps me updated," Mitch explained. "Gotta say, I'm not happy he was jumped. I went over where it happened an hour ago. Wouldn't you know it? It was a blind spot. No cameras." He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "I hate to suspect the men here. These are my colleagues."

"Sometimes you have to suspect everyone," I said. It was a sobering thought. “But yes, he’ll be fine. It wasn’t as bad as it initially looked and nothing’s broken.
