Zach’s gut was knotted. They needed to hurry up and get the hell outta there.

Hannah must have felt the same, because her steps quickened as they rushed to the car. No sooner had Zach started the vehicle than a voice spoke in his ear.

“Silver Buick with tinted windows parked at the curb. It hasn’t moved, and no one has gotten out of the car. I dunno, man. Seems fishy.” E.J.’s voice was heightened with excitement.

Zach spotted the vehicle as he directed his car onto the street. The hairs on the back of his neck rose as he lifted a hand to push to talk on his microphone. “I see it.”

“What do you want me to do?” E.J. asked.

“Hang back and keep an eye on it. Did you get the license plate?”

“Yeah. Kellan’s working on it now.”

“Good work. We’ll meet you back at Hannah’s.”

He ended the conversation and directed his truck toward the intersection. The Buick pulled out and followed. “Damn.”

“What’s wrong?” Hannah asked, turning to look behind them.

He grabbed her shoulder to keep her from turning fully. “I think we have a tail.”

“What?” Her voice rose higher, and she clutched the shoulder strap of her seatbelt with one hand. “What do we do?”

He shook his head. “Nothing. They already know where you live. No use in trying to shake them.”

“But—”

“Stay calm,” he urged, taking a different route. The car followed their turns, speeding to keep pace.

Hannah jerked out her phone and started typing.

“Who are you texting?”

“Sarah. I want her to know I’m okay. I haven’t talked to her today.”

Her tone was calm, but he felt the fear she radiated like a punch in the gut.

“What should I do about those jewels, Zach?” Hannah’s face was painted with panic as her hands gestured wildly. “Should I call the police? The FBI? Who handles jewelry thefts anyway?” She swallowed hard. “I wonder how much of the money in her will was stolen. I bet I’ll have to give that back too.”

“Whoah, lady. You’re jumping to conclusions.” He cocked a half smile at her. “Let us get home safely before we determine where those jewels came from. For all you know, Ellie bought them and they’re perfectly legit.”

“Do you believe that?”

No. Not at all. He shrugged. “Why not? It could be something that simple.” He nodded to the phone in her hand. “Do me a favor and call Kellan. Put him on speakerphone.” She managed to have him connected in a matter of seconds. “How are the animals?” he asked his associate.

“Curled up asleep. Everything is clear here.” Kellan grew more serious. “The plates on that Buick are stolen. The cops should be catching up with you guys any second now.”

Zach had expected as much. Blue lights appeared in the rearview behind the Buick. The other car jerked to the left and disappeared down a side road with a police car in hot pursuit. Zach kept his SUV steadily driving ahead.

He gave Kellan their estimated time of arrival and told Hannah to end the call.
