“Tell him I had to go run an errand for you. Do not let him leave with Blake.”

“What’s with all the smoke and mirrors?”

“He’s coming by for lunch.”

“Why do I have to get Blake?” Holt dug into the pockets of his coveralls.

“I’m begging you. Please.” I couldn’t face Patrick. Not yet. And I needed my son back.

“I’ll text you when he’s gone.” He relented easier than I thought he would.

I sagged in relief. “Thank you.”

“Am I going to regret this?”

“Does your landlord know a good lawyer?”

He flinched. “Daniel? Probably. He’s a pretty powerful guy.”

“Can you ask him?”

“What about your brother?”

“I need a shark.”

He looked at me suspiciously. “Why do you need a lawyer?”

“It’s not important. Can you ask him?” I was just short of begging insistently.

He ran a hand through his hair. “Marlow, what is going on with you?”

“I’m fine.”

“You’re acting weird even for you.”

“How long have you been back? All of five minutes? You have no idea what weird and normal is for me.” I folded my arms over my chest and pretended like I hadn’t just spoken again without thought.

“You want to know if Daniel can recommend an attorney? Call him yourself.”

He thumbed through his phone and in seconds I had a text with the number.

“I’ll see you in a little while.” I pointed at him. “Do not let Patrick leave with my son.”

“Why does he have him in the first place?” he called after me.

My answer was to let the metal door slam behind me.

I checked the time. I was already late, but I had more pressing problems than what to do with the floors in Holt’s office.

I hesitated only a second before I hit the call button.

“Daniel Elliott.”

“This is Marlow Linley, Andrew and Holt Dixon’s sister.”

“I know who you are,” Daniel growled. He growled.

Shit. What had I gotten myself into?

“Can you help me find an attorney? One who isn’t afraid to get dirty.”

Silence. I checked to see if we were still connected.

“Why would you think I know such a person?”

“Just a vibe I get from you,” I said truthfully.

“Your brother is a lawyer.”

“Real estate. I need family law.”

More silence.

“What about Patrick Whitley?”

Hearing his name was a shot of pain and anger at the same time. I would not be controlled by Patrick and his unbendable contract. I’d be damned if he controlled my son’s life either.

“You know that isn’t his specialty.” The words came out more tersely than I intended.

“He might be better suited to help you.”

“Not if I don’t want him to know.”

Even more silence.

“I’ll call you back.”

Three tones sounded. I stared at the screen to confirm he was gone. He was. Guessed I was going to make that appointment after all.
