Y ou don’t think the person who’s stalking Ellen is one of our household staff, do you?” Bob asked, concern in his voice. He was no longer shrugging off the threatening notes—not now that it looked as if Ellen were the intended target. He could be flip about his own safety, but not about hers.“He’s not one of the guys in my security team, that’s for sure,” Hyunh said flatly. “I’ve got three men who’ve been with me for four years. I trust them.”

Bob’s security chief, Tran Minh Hyunh, was a diminutive Vietnamese woman who had worked for him for the past ten years—and possibly even longer. Despite the gray that ran through her long, dark braid, Hyunh was entirely capable of taking out a gang of the toughest street thugs without having to catch her breath. Ellen knew this because she’d seen the security chief working out with the rest of her team in Bob’s gym. She’d thrown men who were more than twice her size with seemingly little effort.

“I think the stalker could be connected to someone who knows Bob quite well,” Sam said. “This guy has access to Bob Osborne’s unlisted telephone number, remember. Of course, there are other ways he could have gotten that, but at this point I wouldn’t want to assume anything.”

“I think it would be smart not to let anyone outside of this room know that Sam isn’t really me,” T.S. pointed out.

“My security team needs to know,” Hyunh said. “But they’ll be discreet.”

Ellen looked around the room from Bob to Hyunh to T.S. and finally to Sam. “There’s no way we can keep all this from Lydia and Jamie,” she said.

“Can they keep a secret of this magnitude?” Bob wondered.

“I’m not sure I understand exactly why they’d have to,” Ellen countered.

“It would be best if we could keep my identity from the staff,” Sam explained. “The stalker could know one of them, or he could just be someone who knows where to go to overhear staff members’ private conversations. Whatever the case, the last thing we want him to do is find out that a cop has moved into the house. We want to nail this guy. We don’t want him to get spooked and back away. We don’t want him to disappear on us only to reappear later when Ellen’s not expecting it.”

Ellen felt dizzy. This was about her. Someone had seen her commercial and now they wanted to kill her. She laughed, her voice sounding a touch hysterical. She didn’t think her acting was that bad. She looked up to find Sam watching her, his crystal blue eyes totally devoid of humor.

Both he and Bob had been talking in slightly hushed, grim tones, as if she were already dead. They were making plans for Sam to move in—move in? Ellen nearly fell out of her chair as the meaning of their words sunk in. Move in here? Into the same house that she was living in?

This so-called plan was totally insane.
