Chapter Twenty-Nine

Coffee. How anyone lived without it, she just couldn’t understand. “How do you do it, Gerard? How does your coffee taste so good?”

“Family secret.” He laughed. “I can’t share. Now, when is your father’s birthday?” Gerard asked.

“In four days, this year on Thanksgiving.” As usual, she’d waited until the last minute to get him something. “I never know what to get him.”

“Well, let’s give Google a shot and see if we come up with something.”

Two hours later she settled on a Man Crate designed to appeal to her father’s love of grilling. The season didn’t matter, the man loved to grill year-round.

“There’s a store in the city that sells the same products. It would be my pleasure to procure all the items and you can make your own crate.”

“Gerard, that’s so sweet! I should go with you.”

“No, no, Ms. Jentry.” He patted her arm. “It’s not safe. You stay and I’ll go.”

She hugged the butler. “Thanks, Gerard.”

Gerard smiled brightly. “You’re welcome, Ms. Jentry. It’s my pleasure to help.”

Her phone rang. She snatched it out of her pocket only to have her hopes dashed. It was Jane and not Harden. Jentry had some guilt since they hadn’t spoken since the Denizen fiasco.

“Hey, Jane.”

“Have you heard the news?” Her rapid-fire question screeched through the phone.

“What news?” What the hell was she talking about?

“All the top echelon in the syndicate are gone for a few days. I don’t know where, but they’re not in the city.”

She wasn’t about to volunteer any information Jane shouldn’t know. “How do you know this?”

“Well…I overheard Nicholas.”

Nicholas! “You mean Nick?”

“Um, yeah, Nick.”

Nicholas huh? Something more than just a rescue happened between Jane and Nicholas the night he saved her from the Ukrainians. Jane wasn’t one to share, at least not with Jentry. Almost four years apart, they never had that kind of sisterly relationship where they confided everything to each other. Much of their childhood was adversarial. Jentry could admit to being petty and jealous of her perfect big sister. Before Allie, she had time for petty bullshit. Now, with a child to care for and the family in danger, she didn’t have time or the energy to waste on childhood squabbles. She loved all her sisters and didn’t want to see them hurt in any way, especially not over a man.

Nicholas Wright. Was it a fling or something more between him and Jane? Jentry wanted to know. God, I sound like Mom. “And where did you overhear him talking about this?” In bed, perhaps?

“He stopped by JMI and spoke to Julius and I overheard. Look, I thought you’d have some information. I was worried.”

And so was Jentry. “I wish I had information, but I know less than you.” Which fucking sucked.

Jane sighed, her frustration coming through the phone. “I gotta go back to work. If you hear anything, call me.”

Her sister had it bad. Who was Jentry kidding, she had it bad too. Their night together replayed in her mind. It was passionate, but it was more than the sex.
