Chapter 24

Devin caught a glimpse of Ghost on the tram Monday morning. It was so brief he wasn’t sure it was really him until Devin reached into his suit pocket for his cell phone and found a business card nestled there. He pulled it out, looking at it discreetly, along with his cell phone.

The card was in the Roman alphabet—an address followed by 6:00 p.m.

Their brief meeting had taken place only twenty-four hours earlier. Could he already have information on Grace? Or was he preparing to lie to him to get what he wanted?

He wasn’t sure what was worse, knowing he would have to wait all day to find out what Ghost had uncovered or the thought of seeing Fai today. As though his thoughts materialized instantly, Devin walked in the door and noticed Fai across the lobby.

Fai nodded in greeting and crossed to him. “How was your weekend?”

“Quiet,” Devin said, reminding himself to relax. “How about yours?”

“We missed you Saturday night.” He fell into step beside Devin as both men headed for the elevator.

Devin didn’t respond. How could he?

As though Saturday night had never happened, Fai continued, “A few of us are getting together tomorrow night for dinner. You should come.”

Though everything in him screamed that he decline, the possibility of Grace being in danger wouldn’t let him follow that instinct. “That sounds good. Let me know the details, and I’ll be there.”

“Excellent.” They stepped into the elevator together, and Devin was grateful they weren’t alone. The possibility of being cornered by the man at work wasn’t something he was prepared to deal with. They rode in silence until they reached Devin’s floor.

He stepped off and hoped he sounded normal. “See you later.”

Without looking back, he made his way to his office and immediately logged on to his computer. Though he rarely checked his personal e-mail at work, today he opened a new tab and quickly checked it in the hope that Grace had tried to contact him that way. When he saw the only new e-mails were junk mail, he knew what he had to do.

Though he hadn’t communicated with his parents since the weekend of his graduation, he drafted an e-mail to his father.

Haven’t talked to you in a while. Any chance your travels will bring you to my part of the world anytime soon? I’d love to meet up with you if we can arrange it.

After signing and sending the e-mail, he logged off. Maybe if he set up the meeting with his dad, he could find some answers, like why someone would threaten Grace to get him to see his father.

Devin walked into the restaurant at exactly two minutes until six. He wasn’t sure what to say when he approached the hostess, but he was saved from coming up with a response when she said, “I only have seats at the bar.”

“That’s fine.” Devin followed her to a seat at the far end. He was three seats away before he saw Ghost sitting in the chair on the end.
