“I’m just cold and tired.” And she wanted to be left alone.

Thankfully, he left and took Paul with him. She still didn’t know if she was being watched, but it didn’t matter at the moment. She had to get warm or her teeth were going to be worn down to nubs and she wasn’t in any shape to consider flight. Any attempt in her current condition was doomed to failure.

Her mind went to her lost research and the bombing of her house while she stood in the shower shivering. Apparently, she thought wryly, she truly was her father’s daughter. She didn’t know how else she might have sensed the need to hide it if she hadn’t had some inkling of the way his mind worked because it certainly wasn’t reasonable or logical.

That being the case, she spent the entire time trying to figure out why it had seemed both reasonable and logical to him to destroy it. Her first thought was that it was planned to get rid of evidence, but what evidence, against him, could there possibly be in her house? To her knowledge, he’d never set foot in it. It belonged to the company, so destroying it changed nothing. There would be records that it did.

She decided it had to be her research because there simply wasn’t anything else in the house for them to have any reason at all to destroy but why pay her for four years of research and then destroy it? Especially since she had to suppose he must know she’d finally succeeded?

Was that the key? Had they watched her bounding around like an idiot and realized she’d succeeded and that was what set off the chain of events that had led her here? Wherever here was.

Or was it just coincidental?

She supposed it could have been but it still felt strange that Paul had showed up right after that and she found she couldn’t put it down to circumstance.

Maybe they just thought she’d gone off her rocker?

Unlikely. She’d been so thrilled that she didn’t really recall what she’d done, but she’d rushed to her computer to update her records. Even if they didn’t have the computer itself bugged, they could probably have seen what she was doing or at least guessed.

If she accepted it was the research they’d wanted to destroy, what could be a motive for doing that? Because they didn’t want to stop world hunger?

She hadn’t seriously considered that but as soon as the idea popped into her head, she stopped to think it over. That was what her research meant. Beyond the money that could be made from it, it would’ve at least put an enormous dent in the number of people starving. Why would he not want to prevent starving?

Because he wanted to decrease the surplus population? She wouldn’t put it past him. She wouldn’t put anything past him at this juncture, but there really wasn’t
