Parker got into Caron’s car. “Okay, Snow White. Forrester just called me back on my mobile. I told him we wanted to meet his and Cheramie’s wives before deciding which man we’ll hire to broker our investments.”

“Didn’t he wonder how you knew he had a wife? It wasn’t in his dossier, Parker.”

“Sure he did.”

“Well, how did you explain knowing?”

“I didn’t explain anything. I reamed him a new rear end for not telling us about her.” Parker slid her a wicked grin. “When in doubt, attack.”

“Your mother’s washboard philosophy.”

“Right.” He checked his watch. “Cheramie isn’t married. But I’m meeting Linda at the caf6 in fifteen minutes. I want you to go stay with Fred until I get back.”

“I’m going to stay here.” She looked through the Chevy’s window, past Parker’s shoulder to Decker’s door. Killer was running along the fence, deepening the ruts.

“Caron, don’t be stubborn, okay? You can’t even use your hands without hurting, and you know Decker isn’t going anywhere. He never goes anywhere except to the corner store for more beer and chips.”

Misty wasn’t in the house. That much she knew. But the house was a link to her. “I’m staying, Parker.” Caron propped her wrist on the steering wheel.

“Don’t be stubborn about this. I—I need to know you’re safe.”

She looked up into his eyes, smiled and rubbed his jaw with her wrist. Parker was worried about her, and he wasn’t used to being worried. Well, she understood that. She was worried, too. She hadn’t forgotten that someone wanted her dead. But if Decker moved, Caron wanted to know it. He was their direct link to Misty. “You’re going to be late.”

Parker squeezed his eyes shut for a scant second. “All right. But by tomorrow morning, you’re going to have a phone in that car, and if you say one word against it, I’m going to tape your mouth shut.”

He was still upset because she’d been less than enthusiastic about the new dead bolt he’d had installed at her apartment. He cared. He didn’t want her, but he did care. She forced herself to act indifferent. “If you want to waste your money buying me a phone, it’s fine with me.”

“Be careful.”

“All right, Parker.”

She watched him walk back to his Porsche, muttering something god-awful about a woman testing a man’s sanity.

Smiling, Caron leaned her head back against the seat, and watched Killer hike his leg against Decker’s truck tire.

A man down the street was mowing his lawn. The gentle breeze carried the smell of freshly cut grass back to her.

At twenty past one, the growls in her stomach grew to roars. She worked with her forearms to get a Butterfinger out of her purse.

Her hands started tingling, then burning like fire. She gasped and dropped the candy into her lap, started rubbing her hands together. For a moment, she panicked, and then it hit her. Tingling. Burning.

Blood circulation.

The ropes were off. Misty’s hands were free—and she was swallowing some pills!

Horrible visions of Sarah flooded Caron’s mind. She cranked the engine and rushed toward police headquarters.
