Chapter Eleven

The tape on Skye’s message machine was full. There were a couple of messages from Senator

Weldon’s aide. Almost all of the rest were from Rico. The earlier ones were frustrated, angry, the later

ones held fear. Call me. Just call me and let me know you’re okay. Leave a message. Fuck, I can’t

shake this feeling that something’s gone bad. Here are my numbers again. The cell phone is

always on.

She picked up the phone and called his cell. “Where have you been?” he demanded as soon as he heard

her voice.

“Out of commission.”

“I’m coming over.” He hung up before she could say anything.

She called Senator Weldon’s aide. Martin answered the phone promptly and immediately sailed into a

rant.

“We haven’t had a single report from you! The Senator expects to be kept up to date!”

“As soon as I finish talking to you, I’m callingAmy’s mother. I need to talk to her—in person. If I can

arrange it, it’ll happen tomorrow. You can tell the senator that.”

“Do you think his sister is alive?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll inform the senator. He’ll expect a progress report after you talk to his stepmother.”

Irritation slithered along Skye’s spine. “I’ll call when there’s something to report.”

The silence on the other end of the line was heavy with suspicion. “Getting this matter taken care of is a

priority with the senator. I’ll fly in tonight in order to be on hand when you findAmy.”

Skye laughed silently at the thought of taking Weldon’s pompous aide on a hunt. “That’s a little

premature.”

“I’ll be at the Tropicana, but I’m never without my cell. Call me when you findAmy.”

Patrice Weldon answered the phone herself and surprised Skye by saying, “My husband told me that

someone had been hired to look forAmy. Of course I’ll see you. Do you have the address?”

“Yes.”

“When you know what flight you’re coming in on, let me know. I’ll have a driver waiting for you.”

“I’ll call you tomorrow morning,” Skye said, the knock on her door telling her that Rico had arrived.

As soon as she opened the door he pressed her against his body in a hug that threatened to re-break her

ribs. “What happened?” he asked.

“One of my cases went a little sideways and I got hurt.”

He pulled back. “You’re okay now?”

Skye’s lips quirked up. Except for a few hidden compulsions that she probably needed to find and get

rid of. “Yeah.”

“Let me see.” Rico didn’t wait for her to show him. He stripped the shirt from her body, his face a hard

mask as soon as he saw the bruising. “You didn’t go to the hospital. I checked. That’s how crazy I got.”

“No, a friend took care of me.”

“What happened to the guy who did this to you?”

“Do you really want to know?” Her nipples tightened as Rico smoothed his hand over her body.

“You killed him?”

“No.”

There was a flash of relief in Rico’s eyes. He moved into her and trailed kisses along her eyelids, down

her cheek. “Fuck, I was scared.” He gave a shaky laugh against her neck. “Cia and I were just getting

ready to check out a place called Toppers when you called.
