Chapter Nineteen

Skye stared at the black and white monitors, praying the vehicle had moved within view of the security cameras.

It had.

She snatched her phone out of her purse, intending to text Finn. Another glance at the clock mounted on the wall dashed her hopes on that. He’d be at the bar already, chatting up the older biker and working his way into getting a job offer.

A phone call now could kill all that. He’d leave to come get her and blow his cover, or it might interrupt a critical moment in trying to get in with the gang.

She couldn’t risk it.

Her finger hovered over the emergency call button. A simple tap and the police would be on the way, fire department, ambulance—the entire range of first responders.

Their arrival would kill any chance of getting a good recording of the drug deal, sending the bikers scrambling for cover and away from the Rest ‘n’ Relax forever.

She pulled her hand away and placed the phone face down on the floor, letting the screen go dark.

No.

She had to let the scenario play itself out.

She forced herself to take a slow, deep breath and steady herself. No one knew she was there, and all she had to do was wait until everyone left.

That was all.

Another sound reached her ears—the familiar loud roar of a motorcycle approaching.

The lights flashed through the storefront again, forcing her to stay down behind the counter.

She looked up at the security mirror, set in the corner of the room. It gave her a good view of the aisles she couldn’t see from the cash register. Usually it helped keep an eye on possible shoplifters stuffing beef jerky and chocolate bars into their jackets. Now it showed a motorcycle as it came up to the store entrance, going so slow that the rider was dragging his feet along the ground to keep it balanced.

The bike stopped in front of the locked door. The engine cut out.

She stared at the security mirror and saw Mick Smith getting off the motorcycle.

As the other bikers continued their patrol through the area, Smith walked up to the door and yanked, hard enough to set the metal racks rattling against the glass windows.

Skye frowned, wondering if this was his usual routine. There was no reason for him to focus on the store, no reason for him to…

Her breath caught as she glanced at the cameras and spotted the car at the far edge of the parking lot.

The Jeep, sitting alone on the asphalt.

Her damned car was still in the parking lot.

Smith peered in through the door. He shifted down a few feet and looked in again. This went on for a few minutes as he made
