Rebecca walked alongside the security guard with the name tag S. Howard in the hallway, right next to the lobby. She could still see Kurt, so she wasn’t really worried. The guard had approached her while Kurt was talking and asked if she needed anything before he went off duty. “Yes, actually. I’m wondering if there’s surveillance footage of the accounting department.” If she could confirm her suspicions that Levi had slipped her the flash drive, she could also see what Levi had been doing moments before that. Maybe it would give her clues as to where to start looking. And Kurt would be impressed at her efficiency.

“My boss mans the security camera feeds.” Mr. Howard pointed ahead. “I think we archive our camera footage, but I haven’t been trained on all of that. Come to think of it, I’m not sure if we have cameras in Accounting. Follow me and you can ask the head of security for yourself. It’s just ahead.”

If it was just ahead it had to be in one of the side rooms off the hallway, so if Kurt ever looked up, she could wave him down and they could go in together. Perfectly safe. They were in a brightly lit office building, and the security guard served as protection. Besides, Kurt had referred to her as his accountant to the detective. The police and the Marshals needed her help. It was a heady feeling, especially given her early childhood dreams, and she felt determined not to let them down. It might prove something to both her grandpa and dad if she played a part in bringing her attacker to justice.

Except they passed four doors. And any minute now, she wouldn’t have a visual on Kurt. “Maybe I should go back first and let the marshal know.”

He stopped at one of the potted plants and swiveled, one hand on a flashlight attached to his belt. Actually, besides his phone, it was the only tool on his belt. “That’s up to you, but I heard the jingling of his keys. He’s probably just around the corner. Hey, did you go to Figpickels?”

“What?”

“The toy store, Figpickels. You’re bound to find a fun souvenir there for your niece. Otherwise, Souvenir and Sundry has this cute moose straw—Oh here we are.”

She’d forgotten they had discussed souvenirs earlier in the week. They turned a corner into a darkened hallway. Her footsteps faltered. She hadn’t meant to go this far. The jingling of keys he’d mentioned cued her to another person approaching before she could see the silhouetted form walk closer.

“Sir, I’m checking out for the night,” the guard said. “This lady is with the US marshal up front and has a question for you.” He nodded at Rebecca and pressed on a swinging door. “Nice to meet you. Have a good night.” He looked up briefly. “Weird. Usually this hallway is lit. Want me to report it before I leave?”

“No. I’ll do it. Have a good night.”

She heard the hint of an accent.
