It was hard to go back to work as normal the next day. Kord spent the morning filling Granger and Olivia in on what had happened while Harper and Georgie spoke privately in one of the conference rooms of the sheriff’s station.

“I’m happy for Georgie,” Granger said with a frown. “But I’m worried, too.”

Kord nodded. He’d seen the size of her trust. It was hard to reconcile that with the bartender he fell in love with. However, a trust that size meant one thing. “Exactly. They were desperate before, but now? They’re going to be even more dangerous. Someone needs to be with her at all times.”

“Stone has practice in Charleston today. He can drive her to Ryker’s and pick her up when practice is over. You know Ryker has crazy security so she’ll be safe there,” Olivia suggested.

“That would be good,” Kord said with relief. “I want to be there the whole time, but with the holidays coming up, we have the sheriff’s toy drive and town festival to work on. The office is going to be swamped.”

Olivia was already sending a text. “No problem. Stone will be here in ten minutes. I have one more thought. What about Heloise?” Olivia asked.

“What about her?” Kord asked. He remembered Willa also asked about her.

“This woman is supposed to be John Shaw’s wife, but she wasn’t there because she chose duty to her family over duty to her husband. That sounds like an ally to me.”

“I think so too, which is why I called her,” Georgie said as she stepped from the office with Harper right behind her. “We’ll see if she calls me back. I also emailed my grandfather and told him where I was. I invited him to come visit and told him about my new internship with Ryker Faulkner, my boyfriend rescuing me from my parents’ house, and my desire to learn about the family business. I told him there was one thing I wanted more than anything from him. I told him I wanted to have my grandfather in my life.”

Kord put his arm around her shoulder and brought her against his side before placing a kiss on the top of her head. “He’ll be lucky to be a part of your life.”

The door to the station opened and Stone strode in. “Your ride is here. All I require is free drinks at the bar tonight to say thank you.”

“She just quit,” Harper said with a smile.

“Dammit, really? You make the best Old Fashioneds,” Stone said with a pout.

“I didn’t quit all the way. I’m going to work part-time. Wait, why are you driving me to Ryker’s? I can drive myself.”

“G, it’s not safe. Your parents were desperate and we foiled their plan. You have everything they want. We think they will try something,” Kord explained.

Georgie sighed. “Back into the cage.”

“Yes, but you get me in it with you.” Kord winked and Georgie tried to smile.

“Excuse me, but I think I’m a pretty big perk, too. I was on the cover of the biggest sports magazine in the world.
