“Please don’t ever send me to the palace again,” Quinn begged Mikel as she sat down in his of­fice to re­port on her meet­ing.

“Why not?” her boss asked.

“Be­cause I was in a room with a prince, and then a duchess walked in. That was bad enough, but then the king showed up. I’m not cut out for royal pro­to­col.”

The cor­ners of Mikel’s mouth twitched up­ward. “I as­sume the duchess was Gabriel’s mother.”

“Yup.” So now Mikel knew that she’d just met her boyfriend’s mother for the first time. “Then the king in­vited me to din­ner at the palace on Sun­day.”

Mikel coughed.

“You’re laugh­ing at me, aren’t you?” Quinn said.

“It is en­ter­tain­ing to hear how much you ob­ject to an in­vi­ta­tion that most Cal­e­vans would kill for.” The amuse­ment faded from his face. “In truth, you should be grate­ful. The king is throw­ing the man­tle of his pro­tec­tion around you. Also, Sun­day is fam­ily night, so it will be an in­for­mal meal.”

She sus­pected her idea of in­for­mal and the king’s were very dif­fer­ent.

“This is sur­real.” She shook her head, try­ing to clear the tur­moil. “Can we talk about the case? Crim­i­nals are so much eas­ier to deal with.”

“Did Raul have any names to of­fer?” Mikel asked with a nod.

“A cou­ple, but he didn’t be­lieve they rose to the level of kid­nap­ping him.” She ran through the three pos­si­bil­i­ties and their back­grounds.

“Dead ends,” Mikel agreed be­fore he tapped a fin­ger­tip on his desk. “How­ever, we are go­ing to visit the sur­geon while his wife is at a spa in Italy.”

Her pulse jumped. “I’m go­ing too?”

“You went toe-to-toe with Dupont, so you can in­tim­i­date a mere sur­geon.”

Thirty min­utes of strate­giz­ing later, Quinn sat in her of­fice, star­ing at her phone. Noth­ing from Pete.

She reached into her desk drawer and pulled out the key chain Dupont had tossed at her. The brass coin dan­gled at the end in its plas­tic case, show­ing first a horse, then a harp as it spun in slow cir­cles. Her fa­ther had of­ten twirled it like that, ask­ing her which side she liked the best. She dropped it on the desk.

Tak­ing a deep breath, she swiped to her fa­ther’s con­tact in­for­ma­tion and typed, Check­ing in to make sure you and Un­cle Pete are okay. LMK.
