Once I got Betty up, dressed, fed, and out of the house with Rex, who seemed concerned that I had allegedly agreed to let her arrest people and go undercover as a NARC, I showered, threw on some jeans and a T-shirt, and headed out the door.

Riley didn't even look up as I entered. He was working on his computer and sketched a slight wave in between typing. I threw my bag on the floor and sat down and waited. After one minute, he leaned back in his chair.

"What's up?"

I shrugged. "I had the Nye file. In my hands and everything. Now it's gone."

The smile fell from his face. "You found it? It was really there? Is it with you? Did you read it?"

He didn't have it. That took one suspect off the list.

"No. Some woman broke in and took it from me." I looked over at the redhead, who was wearing earbuds and typing like, a thousand words a second.

He followed my gaze. "What? No. It's not Claire. It can't be. She was here all day, except for lunch, and we did that together."

My right eyebrow went up. Riley ignored it.

"Then I think it's Lana," I said.

My former handler sighed. "I know you think you've seen her, but she's not in town, Wrath. I'd know."

Reaching into my bag, I retrieved the baggie with three blonde hairs and put it on his desk.

"Since our discussion the other day, I've been wondering why you didn't tell me about the break-in at your house shortly after it happened."

He looked from the bag to me and slumped. "Yeah, well, you never told me why you were there."

I shook my head. "I was looking for you. The door was open," I lied. "Someone fled out the window when I was there. This is what I said I found on the windowsill."

"That doesn't mean it was Lana," Riley insisted.

"It could," I said. "It would make sense that she thought you had the classified files." I shook my finger at him. "Naughty boy."

"What's the point of this conversation?" he asked.

"The point"—I leaned forward—"is that both of our places have been broken into—mine three times, which, by the way, means I win. Considering the plans were hidden in my house, it makes sense. But why would they break into your house?"

Riley tapped his fingers on the desk. He was thinking how to spin this. And it made me angry.

I slapped his desk with my right hand. "This isn't a game. I'm not one of your many bimbos." I shot a look at Claire, who was still typing. "We were partners, and we are friends. What does this have to do with you?"

Riley didn't answer.

I tried something else. "Where is Joe Hanson? Is it possible he killed Joel? Could he be working with Lana? They were comrades at one time."

He threw his hands up in the air. "I don't know. How would I know that?"

"Because you are connected to this somehow." I got to my feet. "And if
