Tanner drove Juli’s car, with Aiden in the front and Jack in the back with Juli.

Jack didn’t want to let her out of his sight. His inner caveman was in control, and if that meant being over-protective to his woman, he didn’t care. Juli was safe. He could only hope Maria was too.

From what Jem Tucker explained, Maria and Yanni might be up to fifty miles away from the tracker—Oscar—since they only had a general compass direction. Aiden’s attempt to locate Maria’s phone failed. The only option was to head west, so they aimed for the M4 motorway, the western route out of the city. Aiden monitored the software on his laptop.

There was little to say. They’d already planned as far ahead as they could. Something niggled at Jack, nudging at his brain until he paid it attention. He let his mind drift, trying to remember where he’d been and what he’d seen.

Yes. The guy in Gloria’s—the bouncer. He looked familiar. Where had Jack seen him before?

Juli was speaking to him. He shoved his confusion to the back of his mind and focused on her. “Sorry, babe. What was that?”

“I said, did you find anything at Gloria’s?”

“Yeah. It looks as though at least part of his story has basis in fact.” Jack outlined his conversation with Sapphire. He’d struck lucky, picking her, since she knew Irina. Tanner’s girl was too afraid to say anything.

The bouncer… What was it about him that nagged at Jack? He rubbed his forehead.

“You okay?” Juli looked at him, worried. “You have a headache?”

He was going to reply, when a memory rushed in. The bouncer. At Juli’s house.

“Shit.” He sat upright. “The bouncer at Gloria’s—he was the heavy that I nailed in Juli’s house.”

There was a pause.

Tanner spoke first. “Someone explain to me, please, if this is all connected.”

“It might be.” Aiden’s voice was thoughtful. “Yanni goes to Juli’s house. Later the same day, a group of foreign men raid the house and see Jack there. Then you see one of them at Gloria’s. And he may have seen you there the night before. I’m guessing the bouncer would recognise you.”

“I don’t get it.” Juli sounded bewildered. “Are you saying Papa had a connection to Gloria’s?”

“Maybe.” Aiden spoke slowly. “Or maybe they somehow traced Yanni to your house and went looking for him.”

“The men in the car park—the ones that shot at Maria.” Juli hesitated. “They must be looking for Yanni. But how would they have traced him to Charlie’s?”

“We took a cab back from Gloria’s last night. They could have followed us, or asked the cab driver.” Jack wanted to kick himself for his sloppy security measures. “Let’s assume they recognised me last night and followed us back. Once they were in the building, they’d no way of knowing exactly where Yanni was, so they waited until he reappeared. Which he did, a few hours ago.”

“It’s a safe assumption Yanni’s upset someone. His injury was severe,” said Aiden. “What if we’ve been looking at this all wrong, and Yves is just an innocent bystander after all? Yanni’s on the run from someone.
