CHAPTER 17

Damian

“At least it makes a bit more sense now.”

I turn to look at Kerry, who received the news someone was keeping some serious tabs on her rather quietly. Once Jasper went to work, she reacted with only a flinch the first time his handheld gadget gave off the high-pitched whine, indicating the presence of one of those little suckers in her kitchen phone. Only when Jasper followed us into her bedroom and started running the detector over the clothes she had stacked on the bed to pack did she gasp, as a full body shiver ran through her.

I think it hit her at that time how vulnerable she is. When you discover someone’s been in not only your car, but your business and your house, it tends to put things into perspective. And it’s scary as hell when a wireless camera the size of a pinhead is found in your living room.

“What does?” I ask her. We’re on our way to my house, and I’m taking the long way, making sure I don’t have any tails. It wouldn’t be too far-fetched to think they are keeping an eye on her, as well. Not many people know where I live, it’s not something I advertise, and I believe it’s the safest place for her to be until we get this sorted out. Once again, Kerry’s Korner is closed for business because of this investigation, and there’s no way I’d let Kerry stay at her place under the circumstances.

“I’d been racking my brain to figure out how they’d know I would have the box in my car, but they probably heard me mention it when I talked to Kim. Only thing I’m still a bit confused about is if the box is gone from the car, does that mean they have it? And if that’s so, they wouldn’t have reason to be interested in me anymore, right?”

“Maybe,” I start carefully. “But we can’t know that for sure. In fact, we know very little for sure at this point. I’m guessing, though, that you received the wrong shipment. Two boxes, two locations. Except, whoever was waiting on the shipment of stolen goods received your order and sounded the alarm with the auction house. They likely discovered the two shipments left at around the same time and concluded you must have received the other one. The attempt to retrieve it was obviously unsuccessful, because by some weird twist of fate, you never had the books there. They were sitting in Cortez.” I glance at her and see she’s mulling this over. I release one hand from the steering wheel and put it on her leg. Without even looking, she puts her hand over mine and laces our fingers.

“I hate feeling this out of control,” she admits softly while still staring out the window.

“I’m getting that.”

“Do you think Marya’s disappearance has to do with this?” she asks, and this time I feel her eyes on me. I give her hand a quick squeeze before I answer.
