CHAPTER 17

At first, Kaylee looked as though she was going to argue with him. But then she glanced over at her brother and Sam was relieved to see her shoulders sag a little. She turned and walked a few steps away from the three men, remaining quiet and in thought for a few minutes. Sam looked over at Evan, who was frowning as he looked between Kaylee and his partner.

“Okay, you’re right,” Kaylee finally agreed, turning back to face them. “How do we get him?”

“We’re not doing anything more tonight other than surveillance and reconnaissance,” Sam said. “Once we know more about the car bomb, who planted it, and when, we can create a plan of action.”

Kaylee nodded, looking tired and deflated.

“It’s almost nine-thirty and I’m sure everyone’s hungry,” Evan said. “We’ll order some food, get everyone settled in, then regroup in the morning.”

“I have to get going,” Junior said, brushing at his head wound again.

“Why don’t you stay for something to eat?” Kaylee suggested.

“No, that’s okay. I’ll pick something up near my hotel,” he told her, then turned to Evan. “I still don’t understand how DaCosta fits into all this, Evan. But thanks for coming here to help Mikayla.”

“I’m no longer the head of DaCosta Solutions,” Evan explained. “Now I own Fortis with Sam and another partner. And this is what we do. We provide security solutions and asset protection for our clients.”

Junior looked around at the operation that was being set up at Kaylee’s apartment and then back at Evan. “Looks like I need to get caught up on a few more things.”

Evan smiled and slapped him on the shoulder. “How long are you in the city?”

“I planned to stay for the weekend, but now I don’t know,” admitted Junior, looking very confused and a little disoriented.

“I’ll walk you to the door,” Kaylee offered, and the siblings walked away.

“So, what do you think?” Evan asked when they were out of earshot.

Sam stroked his chin, still coming to grips with everything Kaylee had told him and all that she had been through over the last few years.

“It was a crazy and reckless plan, but I can see why she did it,” he replied.

“I’ve always admired her strong will and determination. But this is a whole other level of balls,” Evan added.

“We need to solve this thing right away, before someone realizes who Kaylee really is,” Sam added. “They weren’t trying to kill her today, just send a really strong message to Antonoli. But we both know that they are completely capable of murder.”

“I know. And, if Mikayla is right, they’ve already killed one witness: Holt,” concluded Evan.

“I’ll order some food. Why don’t you start updating the others, then we’ll do a status review to see what else we know?” Sam suggested, taking out his phone to find a local restaurant that delivered.

“Wait, Sam,” Evan inserted. “Is everything okay between you and Mikayla?”

“What do you mean?” Sam asked impassively.

“I don’t know. There just seems to be a bit of tension between you.
