CHAPTER 26 - ALARIC

“WHERE’S BLACK?” ALARIC asked on the way to the lake on Saturday morning. “Any new leads on Ridley?”

Emmy took a sip from her family-sized mug of coffee. “One of Mack’s alerts pinged. Ridley got a speeding ticket on the way to Memphis two days ago.”

“Memphis?”

“He’s got family there, but so far, he hasn’t shown up near any of their homes. We’re watching them.”

“We’re watching them, and they’re watching us.”

The onlookers had been up by the road again yesterday, hovering from dawn till dusk. A local reporter had approached the dive team after lunch, wanting photos and an interview for a story on local ecology, and a fisherman complained they were scaring the bass away, but apart from that, their unwanted audience stayed silent. At times, it felt as if Piper’s spirit were watching them too. Alaric got the same prickly feeling every time he looked at Dominique in Red After Dark.

Had Ridley’s men been among the crowd? Dan had mingled, taking photos for Mack to analyse. If Beth had been on the shore, Alaric wouldn’t have wanted to leave her alone, just in case, but Dan could take care of herself, as could Emmy and Nick. They knew the score. He had to take comfort in that.

“Mack hasn’t identified any known adversaries so far, and she’s good at what she does.”

“I know.”

Still, having Ridley lurking in the background was concerning.

“Maybe we should get a couple of extra people here? To keep an eye on things?”

“You think we need bodyguards?”

“No, but…”

“I already thought of it, okay? But the Kentucky office doesn’t have any spare manpower at the moment. There’s some sort of virus going around, and everyone’s busy puking.”

“Just watch your back.”

“I always do.”

That’s what Emmy said, but if Alaric had known what was to come, he’d have handcuffed her, thrown her into his trunk, and driven them both far, far away.
