Lucio held her hand the entire time they walked back to their room. Amy had so much to say. She admitted that years ago she’d had a major crush on him, but that had nothing to do with her feelings now. Lucio was again stealing her heart and she had no idea if he even wanted it as part of the package. She needed to talk to him.

He opened their door. She steeled her nerves to launch into conversation, but Lucio let her go, took off his shoes, and walked into the closet, exchanging his shoes for his laptop. "I'm uploading the files so you can keep working. I have the police and the military checking all records of the ones you sent already. Tomorrow, I’ll show you my office downstairs near my brothers."

"Glad we’re here." Fair enough. Work first. Talk second. They had all night so getting business out of the way was reasonable. She went to her laptop that was still on the vanity and nodded. She handed the papers to him as he sat at a small enclave to use as his desk. "On it." She took a seat opposite him and let her shoes drop to the floor under her chair. "I'll have the update within the hour. Also, read the report I wrote recently on your country. I think my work is being used in a different way than intended and if I'm right, your family may be next."

"My family?" His eyebrows arched from over his laptop.

She turned her computer on, then tapped his knee to gain his attention. "In my report, I saw one of the strengths of the country is that your family is loved by your constituents and some see your family as a bridge to their own financial success of the future. So if someone is using my report, they'd find a way to discredit that in some way."

He flipped through the papers she laid next to him. "Who did you give this report to?"

At Whitehall and Fisk, she didn't book the clients. She was paid on delivery, and she’d gotten a bonus for the rush job. She truthfully had no idea who other than the face of the man who creeped her out at her office. Her face heated. "I don't know. It was ordered and I delivered per instructions. A man came to pick it up and that was it."

He leaned forward in his chair. "Could you identify the man if you needed to?"

"Yes." She nodded her head fast. She'd never forget the goosebumps she’d gotten near the man. "He was older and slightly heavy-set—he was waiting for me out on the sidewalk, and then walked with me back to my office. His boss was in a hurry for the report. I spent probably ten minutes talking to him."

He read her first page. "Interesting. It could be a clue."

They worked in silence as the minutes ticked past. She had the last three programs running. She finished and saw that his computer was connected to hers.
