Milo had laid it all on the table. All the events leading up to this moment and it was now on her shoulders to decide if she could continue. “You know I love you, Milo, but how could you do this? How could you get me involved in something like this? Forget that Tommy’s dead. Forget that he has a daughter. What if I was killed? Nolan, Micah? At the very least, you should’ve told me what I was getting myself into. It should have been my decision to make.”

He closed his eyes in regret. “There was no way I could have foreseen what happened that night, Allison. It wasn’t even in the same ballpark as what we knew Tommy was doing at the time. You have to believe me. I would never put you in harm’s way. And I didn’t think Tommy was in that sort of danger either. The arrangement was Tommy was going to continue working for Carlos Diaz and do exactly what he asked regarding his wife, Tracy. And in the background, I, along with another, would continue to build a case against Carlos. There was no reason Tracy or Harlan Goodfellow should’ve been in the crosshairs, let alone Tommy Boyce.”

“Well they were. Someone knew enough about them to be concerned and they ended up dead.” Allison folded her arms and clenched her jaw. “How much do you know about the wife, Tracy?”

Milo shook his head. “No more than I should, I suppose. She wasn’t part of the plan. It was Carlos we were after. The affair was a sidebar. It fell into our laps and we used it as a way to keep Carlos distracted and that was when I brought in Tommy. I facilitated their meeting.”

“You keep saying ‘we’ and ‘they.’ Who else knows about this?”

“I think it’s best if you don’t know that just yet. And that’s strictly for your protection, not because I don’t trust you.”

Allison nodded. “Sure. But you know, if Tracy Diaz was like most other women, she would have confided in a close friend.”

“About the affair?” Milo asked.

“Yes. And maybe other things too. I’ll have to find out who was in her inner-circle. I want to know how long the affair had been going on and what she told her friends.”

“What will that accomplish?”

She held Milo’s gaze. “Let me ask you something. Do you think Carlos Diaz killed his wife and his right-hand man?”

Milo pursed his lips. “Not in the least.”

“Neither do I. First of all, if he had he would be behaving much differently and from what Shane has heard on the grapevine, Carlos seemed genuinely heartbroken. And then we have the car, which we’re pretty sure was a Mercedes. It blew past me that night, straight out of Goodfellow’s building.”

This wasn’t payback for Milo withholding details from her, but Allison didn’t want to mention the possibility it had been the same car they had seen in a video outside Tommy’s office. Then again, maybe it was payback and she was being petty.
