I went into work the following morning to keep up on things there as well as talk to my PI. I called Millie into my office and told her that I was going to have Soledad work from home for the day and possibly the week, depending on what I found out. She agreed and seemed to relax around me. “You’re good to her. She deserves that.”

“Thank you. We’d love to have you over for dinner sometimes. You’re a good friend to her.” I assured her as she grinned.

“I always heard things about you. I know that it was nearly all gossip, but I wanted to warn Soledad away from you. I was worried for her, but she was so happy. When I saw you on the street that day, I knew that this was love.” I smiled gratefully. “Keep taking care of her.”

“I know that you’ve heard a lot. I ignore a lot of it since it is almost all just rumors but I didn’t do any of that to Elizabeth. Things merely ended badly since she was a mistake. I’d never abandon a woman that I knew was pregnant with my child.” I shrugged. “I never heard that she was.”

“I get it. I know you better now but that’s between us.” She smiled, and I nodded at her. She was a quirky blonde that often had the ends of her hair various colors. She was brilliant and earned her way to the top team quickly and now, becoming my girl’s best friend. I watched as she left my office, closing the door as I pinched the bridge of my nose.

I had been in constant touch with the investigator. There was no trace of Keith having a black car at all. The red car was a proven theory, but nobody had seen it lately. I did know that he was in town still though he’d switched hotels.

I checked security cameras on the building for any signs of him. I already knew what he looked like and had every guard on alert for his presence here. It was the same with the loft and they all took me seriously. I didn’t overreact to things normally, so everyone understood that I was serious about this.

I checked in with Soledad late in the morning. She was working for a bit with the team before going to the movies with Rosie and Lindsay. I went as far as to have a man watch them with that knowledge. He would follow them and keep a close eye as instructed so they wouldn’t be stuck in the house. She sounded sorry that she wasn’t at work, but I told her this wasn’t forever. I reminded her that spending time with her daughter was a good thing. Soledad laughed and told me that she loved me.

I had lunch with Brent at a quiet steakhouse that we enjoyed. We had a private booth in the corner and I filled him in on the latest happenings. I had a small circle but the ones that were in it were people that I trusted.
