Chapter Thirteen

Reid settled back against the chair, his arms crossed over his chest, tension in his muscled shoulders as he waited for Jack to start the meeting. They were waiting on Lopez to finish a call and then he could get moving on this case.

Everything about it was personal. The fact Callie was involved, Gunner’s involvement in all of it. Anger surged in his belly. It wasn’t helped by the guilt he was carrying because he hadn’t spoken to Clay yet. His desire for Callie had him questioning every ounce of restraint he thought he had.

The woman was like his personal Kryptonite, but even that thought which should have made him angry, made him smile. She did that, she made him smile, made him happy, and if he didn’t know better, he’d say he was half in love with his sunshine. That was crazy, though, who fell in love after only a couple of weeks?

His eyes immediately flew to Alex who was seated opposite him next to Jack. No, he and Evelyn had a long history dating back years. Next, they went to Blake. He and Pax had been quick but surely not only a month?

The door behind him opened and Lopez strode in, a stack of print outs in his hand. He set them down beside Jack, who scanned them as the residual chatter in the room died down. Every member of Eidolon was in the building apart from Mitch who was still in London—the amount of skill and deadly killers in the room was unheard of.

Jack looked up, his face an ice-cold mask of determination. “I have some information that Lopez has just confirmed for me. It seems Gunner has a disabled sister.” A whispered murmur went around the men, surprise evident among them. Gunner had never talked about a sister.

“He never mentioned her to any of us, and she wasn’t found in any of his background checks. Why he never said anything, we don’t know. The reason we didn’t find her is that she has a different surname to Gunner, and lives in Iceland near his maternal grandmother’s home in a care facility.”

This was all interesting but what relevance did it have? Reid knew it had to have some or Jack wouldn’t waste his time on it.

“Her name is Milla Karvelsdottir, and she has severe brain damage, which means she has no motor skills to speak of and has to have twenty-four-hour care. Four months ago, Milla disappeared from the care facility she was in without warning, and no missing person report was ever filed. Her whereabouts are still unknown, and her grandmother refuses to discuss it with anyone. The authorities haven’t become involved, and the papers haven’t run anything on the story.”

“You think she’s why Gunner turned on us?” Decker asked.

Jack tipped his head and shrugged. “You’re the profiler here, why don’t you tell me?”

Decker was silent for a beat and Reid could swear he heard the gears turning in his head. “I think whoever is behind this is possibly using Gunner’s sister as leverage to force Gunner to do what they want.
