CHAPTER 25

Maddox walked down the long hallway of the hotel, making note of the exits and windows. Jen had picked the top floor and had rented out all the rooms surrounding hers and below hers. That was good.

Jen's brother Jordan had called Maddox and let him know what Lou wanted to do. And he knew Jen was against it. He reached the end of the hall and knocked on the door.

Jen pulled it open with a start. "Maddox? What are you doing here?"

Maddox smiled, noticing the gun behind Jen's back. "Nice to see you too, Jen."

Jen laughed stepping out of the way to let him in, placing the gun in her holster. "Sorry. Come on in. And then tell me what the hell you're doing here."

Maddox stepped in, looking around. "Where's the little angel?"

Jen rolled her eyes. "She's taking a shower. Wait. Who's with Kati and Max?"

"They're with Laney and Jake. They're safe."

"What? I thought we agreed to keep them out of this."

Maddox nodded. "We did and they are. Henry told them what was going on when they got back. He convinced them to let you two handle it."

Jen took a seat over on the couch. "Okay good. Now, why are you here?"

Maddox sat down across from her, his long legs stretched out in front of him. "Well, I hear your new friend is being a little stubborn and wants to go undercover."

Jen blew out a breath. "Who told you?"

"Jordan."

Jen shook her head. "What was he thinking?"

"He was thinking this might be a way to help kids like Lou."

Jen looked away. "Yeah, that's her argument as well."

"Well, if you want my two cents-"

Jen crossed her arms. "I don't."

"- I think it's a good idea."

Jen grit her teeth. "Maddox, she's fifteen years old and just lost her sister. I'm not throwing her into that viper's pit."

Maddox put up his hands. "Hey, I'm not suggesting we leave her there. But she could lead us to them."

"You can't be serious. She's just a kid."

"I'm not saying we send her in as is. We train her. Wait for them to make their move. When they do, we swoop in, grab her, and all the rest."

Jen gave him a long look. "You and I both know it's never that simple."

"No, but it is our current best shot of catching these guys. They're going to keep doing this - going after kids, killing their families to isolate them. Lou can help us end all of that."

Lou stepped into the room in jeans and a t-shirt, her hair wet. "I'm in."

"I thought you were in the shower," Jen said before throwing an annoyed glance at Maddox.

He shrugged.

Lou nodded at Maddox. "I was. But then I felt that tingle that told me we had a guest. I wanted to make sure they were friendly."

Jen glared at Maddox before turning to Lou. "Lou, we don't know when or even if these guys will contact you. You'd have to go into foster care. You could be there for months, maybe even years.
