Chapter Fifteen

I finished eating and gave a contented sigh.

I suddenly realized something. At some point, though I couldn’t put my finger on the exact moment, I’d stopped being afraid of these guys. Isaac, yeah, perhaps. And I hadn’t warmed to Lorcan. But I didn’t hate Clay, Kingsley, and Alex in the way I had when I’d first been brought here. Was Stockholm syndrome coming into play, and I was forming a bond with my captors, or was I actually starting to believe some of what they were telling me? Maybe those FBI agents who had come to pick me up had been bad news, though I’d known one of them, Agent Hollan, for years. I remembered how brusque he’d been with me, how I hadn’t been able to grab my purse, and I’d barely had time to put my shoes on. I hadn’t felt comfortable with them either, but then I hadn’t expected to. I’d been feeling horrible about the interview, part of me wishing I could give the money back and forget I’d ever opened my mouth. I certainly wished I’d gone down that route now. Look at the amount of shit my big mouth and greed had gotten me into.

It was all about those numbers my dad had told me as he’d died. If he hadn’t wanted me to access the files on that drive, why would he have told me the number? If he’d wanted whatever was on it to die with him, he could have kept his mouth shut, or told me he loved me, like any normal father would have done.

My curiosity had gotten the better of me. Even if I was able to walk away from this right now, I’d still want to know. Perhaps the men would never tell me what was on the drive, but unless we figured out the code, and they did the job of getting their hands on it, I would never find out.

“Okay,” I said eventually.

Clay looked at me quizzically, one eyebrow cocked. “Okay?”

“Tell Isaac I’ll do it.”

A grin spread across Clay’s face and he looked up to Kingsley, who gave a slow nod. The man wasn’t demonstrative in emotion, but I could tell he was pleased. That I’d done something to make them happy caused a warm glow of approval to spread through me. I tried to shake the feeling off. I knew that was a dangerous road to go down. They were the enemies.

Weren’t they?

Clay reached across me and picked up my empty tray. I started to get to my feet, too, but he frowned at me. “What are you doing?”

“Coming with you. I’m helping you now. I’m on your side. Surely that means I don’t have to be locked down here anymore.”

Clay’s mouth twisted and he shook his head. “Sorry, sweetheart. No can do. Maybe if you hadn’t run yesterday, and cut up Isaac, I could have convinced him, but right now he still thinks you’re going to run at the first opportunity.”

“And he’s probably right,” Kingsley called down from the top of the stairs.
