Chapter Eight

Luke

I glanced at Cassidy for what felt like the fiftieth time in the last minute. There was no way I could get off saying I knew her. Never minding the fact we’d been on the run together for a few days in a row now, there was still so much I didn’t know about her. What her story was. But I wasn’t so clueless to read her mood. And right now, as she scrunched her face, wrinkles showing on her smooth skin, she narrowed her eyes at the computer monitor in front of her.

A moment ago, she’d asked Deana if she could print something on the lab’s device.

What could she be reading? What did she find? Whatever it was, I was more than intrigued and eager to know. So far, she’d been open and including me in everything about this search for Rosa’s old data—or Scott’s, really.

Honestly, I just wanted to be at her side again. At the minimum, I wanted to get the hell away from Deana. I was no fool. A sure-footed and educated woman doesn’t accidentally trip over thin air and brush her hand against my cock to catch herself from falling. Especially since we were only standing there in front of her computer and tools. Nor was there any reason for her to paw my chest and lean closer to tell me “oops” for her “clumsiness.” In the midst of the insanity Cassidy and I had fallen in, I had no patience for a coy woman trying too hard.

Then again, she was helping us. I gritted my teeth and kept my mouth shut.

“Yep. It’s midazolam,” Deana said, nodding as she read the readings on her screen.

So the syringe was a sedative. Too bad that fact didn’t reassure me. Of course, I would have hated to know that Michael was toting a needle full of a lethal poison and that he may have wanted to use it on Cassidy. But the man was clearly set on capturing my redheaded sidekick one way or another. Actually, the idea of that beast having Cassidy alive and under his control freaked me out even more.

“Yeah?” I checked, tearing my gaze from Cassidy to look at where Deana was pointing out the comparison on her screen.

“The chemical analysis is a perfect match.” She twisted one side of her lip down. “Wonder how her boyfriend got it from them.”

“Them who?” I asked.

She picked up the empty syringe Cassidy and I had found in Michael’s pocket. A clear tube was all that remained, plus the Daysun label stuck to it. She’d removed the barcode sticker that I saw earlier, revealing the pharmaceutical’s identity inked on the device. Deana tapped at the logo. “Daysun.”

A chill took over my body. Daysun? As in Dale’s company?

“They’re huge. I mean, it’s nothing new for drugs to be sold on the street, but I have to bet this company is a little tight with their products. Especially since this sample is…well, it’s a little more advanced than what I’ve seen before.
