Chapter 19

“Got a problem.” Marcus’s tone came through edgy and nervous over the cell, standing the hair on the back of Nate’s neck on end.

“What’s up?” Nate put the call on speaker. He wouldn’t keep anything from Kaycie.

“The monitor on Hank’s car is useless if he doesn’t drive it. He just rode off in a limo. An older dude went in the building. A few minutes later the two of them came out together.”

“Tall, thin, salt and pepper hair?”

Kaycie’s gaze heated Nate’s neck even before he glanced at her.

“Yeah. About the same height as Hank.”

Nate snapped his attention back to the moment. “That’s probably Hank’s dad. Stick with them.”

“Yeah. I’m laying back. Wouldn’t do to be noticed.”

“How’d the visit with Hank go?”

“The bastard wouldn’t talk to us. Coward kept the safety chain on.”

“Tyrell demanded to be let in. Threatened to kick the fucking door open and interrogate him our way.”

“You stirred his shit. That was good enough.” Nate chuckled. Any normal person would panic if they opened the door and found Marcus and Tyrell standing there. “We’re headed to the first Walsh property on our list.”

“Is this the industrial park where Kay was found?”

“No.” Kaycie spoke up for the first time in the conversation. Nate hoped talking would help her relax. “That’s our third stop.”

“Nate treating you okay?” Marcus asked.

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and a stupid zing of jealousy flashed in Nate’s blood. She used to smile at the sound of his voice.

“He doesn’t feed me as often as you do,” she said, leaning across the car closer to the phone, bringing with her the scent of lemons and spring mornings. “Other than that, he’s doing okay.”

“I don’t like being stuck out here,” Marcus said, huffing out a breath loud enough to be heard over the speaker. “You stay in touch.”

“Will do.” Nate dropped the cell on the seat and parked a block away from a huge rambling warehouse. Eighteen-wheelers were backed up to unloading docks by the dozens. Kaycie rubbed her eyes. A frown darkened her face.

“What’s going on inside that pretty head?” He dropped his hand on her knee.

She blinked. “Memories of running for my life flood my brain every time I get close to a warehouse.”

“I’m not convinced finding the place you were held will do any good. The place has probably been scrubbed of all clues by now.”

“You’re probably right. At least we accomplished one thing. The voice on the phone will get in touch with Hank. He’ll get the message we’ve got the ring and we’re not backing off until Holly’s home safe.”

After they drove past a second warehouse, Nate had stopped at a burger joint. She’d ordered but demonstrated no interest in her food. “You told Marcus I didn’t feed you. Don’t make me tell him you refused to eat.” Nate picked an onion ring off her plate, held it up, and waited until she took a bite.

“You ready to go?” Without waiting for him to answer, she stuffed her food into the trash bin, kept the cup of coffee, and headed for the car.
