Chapter Eleven

“Hey, Bro. It’s about damn time. I thought we might have to go looking for your sorry ass.” At the stove, Travis stirred a pot of something that smelled good enough to eat, while Blake smirked, opened the refrigerator door and perused the contents. US Marshal Jeremy Dahl carried plates and silverware to the table, as though he hadn’t just held Kellie at gunpoint.

Apparently, the dust had settled after the whoop-ass she’d heaped on their intruder. Travis seemed satisfied the marshal didn’t pose a danger. Hell, even the damn dog thought Jeremy was okay, excitedly greeting him and the others with maniacal wags of his tail. Who was MacGyver to argue with either Travis or Chip?

Still don’t trust the guy.

“Where’s Kellie?” Jeremy stared back at him with an equal amount of suspicion.

MacGyver’s first instinct was to ignore the man’s question. It wasn’t any of his business. The marshal had lost any federal rights he’d had when he pulled a gun on them, using his creds only as a last resort.

On the other hand, MacGyver wanted answers from him, and starting off with distrust on both sides was counterproductive. “She needed some time to clear her head. You dropped quite a bombshell on her. Can’t say I agree with the way you broke the news about her sister, and pulling a gun on Kellie could easily have gotten you killed.”

“I had my reasons, but I didn’t mean her any harm—or you, for that matter.”

Charlie stalked to the open refrigerator, grabbed three bottles of Bud Light and motioned toward the table, partially set with six places. “Let’s get to those reasons, Marshal.”

MacGyver stifled a grin as he pulled out a chair and sat. He accepted the beer Charlie placed in front of him, twisted the cap and lifted the longneck to his lips, staring over it at Jeremy, who hadn’t moved. The guy had balls—he’d give him that. Even with an empty holster, his confidence never wavered. MacGyver pointed to the chair across from him until, with a frown, Jeremy joined them at the table.

“My daughter disappeared a year ago while working for that scum, Tony Palazzi.” Charlie hissed the name. “How is it only you know where she is?”

Jeremy took a swallow from his beer and set it on the table, heaving a resigned sigh. “What I’m about to tell you must remain confidential. Not because the US Marshal’s Office says so, but because if Palazzi finds out where Anna is, she won’t be alive for long.”

MacGyver exchanged a glance with Charlie, then swept his attention back to Jeremy. “Witness protection?”

Jeremy nodded. “Anna witnessed a murder while working at Tony’s club. John Farino, a young cop, stumbled into something way above his pay grade one night in the parking lot. Left a wife and two-year-old twin boys. Anna was just getting off work, and she walked right into the middle of it.” Jeremy jerked a hand through his hair.

“She was lucky. Palazzi liked her.” The sarcasm in the marshal’s words was unmistakable.
