Chapter Three

Something was wrong with Abby. Declan felt that certainty down to the center of his black heart. Still sitting on the brick railing, he kept his gaze focused on her. He skimmed her body with his eyes, noting the tension she now carried and her rapid-fire typing. She’d been a diligent worker from the moment she entered FosCo, but this was…different.

Methodical yet hurried.

Her pencil skated over pages, fingers dancing over the keyboard faster than Grant when he’d decided to try to hack the FBI. Her stare intent on the computer screen, she continued typing with her left hand, reached for her laptop bag with her right, and withdrew a cord. Abby diverted her attention just long enough to plug the computer into her nearby tablet.

Declan narrowed his eyes and let his wolf pull forward to assist his vision. The details of Abby’s features—body—came into focus with the animal’s help. The sharper vision allowed him to see the determined expression on her face and the panic lurking in her eyes.

Further proof something had gone sideways in her world. Whether it was personal or professional, he wasn’t sure. He simply knew that his wolf demanded he go to her. The beast didn’t know how to calm a woman or soothe her, but the asshole wanted to do something for her. Yes, the wolf reveled in the fear of others, enjoyed the scent of panic from their prey, but it hated this. Whatever had caused Abby’s terror needed to die. Now.

A soft tone filled Declan’s ear, his com reactivating—probably at Birch’s order. The rest of the men had to see the change in Abby, too. That was the only reason the assholes would turn the device on after he’d gone off duty.

“Guys,” he murmured to the team before anyone else could speak. His wolf’s howl consumed his mind. “There’s—”

Grant didn’t let him finish. He released a harsh cough and cleared his throat. “Uh, remember how I didn’t have approval to bug any FosCo offices and/or vehicles because we didn’t want to risk the devices being found?” Grant chuckled. “And then remember how I did it anyway?”

“Grant…” Birch’s growl rolled through the com, the rumble accompanied by the bear’s heavy stomps and a hollow echo.

The team alpha was in the stairwell. Coming up to Declan or down to kick Grant’s ass?

“Yo, Birch, it’d save you a lot of frustration if you didn’t issue orders you know he’s gonna break. You stopped telling me I couldn’t bring experimental, untested explosives on ops. You’re a lot happier now, am I right?” Declan could imagine the feral smile Cole wore.

“The point is…” Grant added his own snarl to the mix. “There’s movement. Eric Foster leaves the office every day at five—”

“In his slow-ass SUV,” Ethan muttered. “More money than God and he drives a vehicle fresh off the assembly line with no modifications.”

“—goes home and stays there.” Grant continued talking as if Ethan hadn’t interrupted. “Except right now he’s in his SUV with four other men and they’re headed back to the office.
