Chapter 11

The pounding inside his head wouldn’t stop as he pressed the phone to his ear listening to the director confirm everything Lexi had said. He shook his head when the word wife popped into his mind. He hadn’t meant to say they were a mistake. The words had left his lips in a fit of anger, not at her, but from the fact that someone was doing all this crap right under his nose.

He stayed in his office all afternoon as his mind raced debating who would have attacked Catherine. The director had mentioned Lexi sent him a copy of the video but still hadn’t returned to her office.

Later that night he tried her cell several times, and it went straight to voicemail. She wasn’t taking his calls, and could he really blame her? Breaking his promise even under duress was no excuse. His mother had thankfully steered clear of him the rest of the afternoon into the evening. The only visitor he had was Ethan, looking for Lexi. He’d give her time for now to cool down, but if she wasn’t home in the next couple of hours, he’d give in to the panic and go looking for her.

Lexi went to her own home, not the one that was broken into, but the one she liked to avoid. It was her way of escaping Trip and his family, she needed time to think and it was evident she wasn’t going to be able to do it at his place. Her phone rang and she glanced down at the caller id, prepared to send Trip’s call to voicemail again, and paused when she recognized the number so she answered. “Hello.”

“We’ve got her.”

Lexi’s heart raced at Marco’s words. She sank down to her knees in her bedroom and hung her head. “Is she all right?”

“She must have been hit on the head pretty hard. The doc says she’s got amnesia.”

Lexi jumped to her feet. “Where is she?”

“Bayview General, room 213. We’ve got to get her out of here though; it’s not safe for her until you catch the asshole who did this.”

She grabbed her keys. “I’ll be there in ten. Stand guard around her door. They’ll have to release her to me when I tell them she’s a federal witness. Go ahead and make arrangements for a safe house. I’ll sign the release when I get there.”

He agreed. She flew down the stairs and out the door. Sara was leaning against her car. “You weren’t supposed to ditch your detail. Can you imagine my surprise when I didn’t find you at Trip’s house? He wasn’t too happy either.”

She shrugged. “Where’s Garrett?”

“I sent him home. I told him you and I would stay in and make some margaritas. He offered to stay until I told him there was going to be a massive amount of girl talk going on.”

Lexi chuckled as she pulled her car door open. “Get in. We’ve got to go. Marco found Catherine.”

Barely managing to contain the speed
