Chapter Twelve

The evening couldn’t end soon enough so they could get down to some real business. However, the whole plan tonight was to get a chance to explore some of the house to at least learn the layout.

His attention was pulled from the woman, whose lips had done some amazing things to him, to Barb when he caught the woman rubbing at her temples and wincing.

Fuck. That meant Barb was probably getting one of her migraines and would be heading inside soon. That also meant it might screw up Brick’s plan.

He wasn’t the only one who noticed.

“Are you okay, Barb?”

She gave Londyn an apologetic, but pained, look. “Seems like the day is catching up to me.”

“Migraine?”

Barb squinted as if the light was causing her discomfort. “Yes, I’m sorry to cut the evening short again. I’m going to go upstairs, climb into bed and take a pill.”

Londyn and Brick exchanged looks and he slightly tipped his head, hoping she would read into the gesture that the plan would continue. He’d just need to work around that hitch.

Kramer helped Barb from her chair, and she gave him a quick kiss before going inside with a last “goodnight,” leaving just the three of them.

Hopefully, Barb would go directly upstairs and her migraine was debilitating enough she’d stay in bed and wouldn’t catch Brick sneaking around their house.

He snuck a glance at his watch. It was getting late and he needed to do something soon. With Barb done for the night, there wasn’t a good reason for the two of them to remain at their house. Especially if Kramer decided to bring the evening to an early end.

As soon as Kramer went inside to grab another round of beers, Brick leaned over to Londyn and whispered, “Keep him entertained while I go snoop. If he wants to go inside, stall as best as you can.”

As soon as Kramer returned, Brick quickly rose from his seat by the pool, where they had migrated after dinner. He pressed a hand to his stomach with a frown. “Excuse me while I use your facilities. You don’t mind keeping my muffin company, do you, Chris?”

The man gave Brick a predatory smile that he wanted to smack off his face. “Not at all.”

Of course he didn’t. It took everything Brick had to go inside and leave Londyn alone with him.

He moved quickly through the house, sticking to the first floor since it seemed Barb had done what she’d said and went upstairs. At the rear of the house, he found a room that appeared to be Kramer’s office. Brick rifled carefully through the paperwork strewn across the large wooden desk and turned on the computer only to find it password protected.

If he got a chance he’d come back and get Walker on the phone to see if they could hack into it. But for now, he didn’t have the time. Tonight was simply for recon.

He pulled each desk drawer out, finding typical office-like things. Nothing suspicious. In fact, all very boring, normal stuff.
