Lily really was going to kill him now. He couldn’t believe Tina had insisted he come right away. It was as if she knew how much trouble it would get him in. But he’d started this thing, so he had to finish it. And Tina had a point: The sooner, the better.

But the look in Lily’s eyes when he’d had to leave…she thought he was abandoning her on a whim and being irresponsible, unreliable. It wasn’t like that, of course. But he could only hope Lily would understand once he had a chance to explain himself. Which wouldn’t be anytime soon. Not until he had proof of his suspicions. Dagnabbit. He really did have himself in a pickle this time.

Yet, all he could do was move forward. He’d already sent Jas back to Savannah to keep an eye on things, though he felt sure Lily would be safe in Aunt Barrington’s company. That old bat was a force to be reckoned with. He had to focus on the task ahead: meeting up with Tina so they could go talk to the woman she’d tracked down. He couldn’t imagine the lady would be eager to speak to them on a Saturday morning, but Tina had been in no mood to argue. No point in stressing an already tenuous alliance.

Foot to the gas pedal, he pushed his old junk-heap of a car as fast as it could go—an impressive fifty-five miles per hour—roaring down the street in a cloud of exhaust. Several newer cars passed him easily, ruining the brief image he had of himself racing to the rescue in a sleek, sexy ride. Ah, well. You couldn’t always be both fashionable and effective, though he suspected Lily would disagree.

It turned out that Tina was in a rush because the woman she’d found, Heather Foster, lived down south in Valdosta, Georgia, a good three and a half hours away. They carpooled from her house, taking her car because she threatened to strangle him if they had to drive at fifty-five miles per hour the whole way.

On the way, they argued about whether or not to call first. Sebastian thought it would be odd to just show up on her doorstep, and she might be more inclined to help if they had the courtesy to call ahead. Tina thought it would just give her more of a chance to turn them away. Plus, what if she were being watched? Calling ahead would give the watchers—whether John Faust or the FBI—advance warning of their plans. Eventually, Tina won the argument.

Sebastian had never been to Valdosta before. It was a good-sized city, with its own mall, university, manufacturing plants, the works. But they weren’t there to sightsee. They followed Highway 75 down toward the southern end of town—the poorer end—getting off and paralleling some railroad tracks as they searched for Heather Foster’s address. It led them to a small neighborhood bordering a train yard, its narrow, shotgun-style houses in various states of disrepair. Some were
