“My wife is worried,” Bran said as they stepped out of the waiting room and moved down the hall toward Noah’s room.

He was sure everyone was worried at this point. “I’m sorry about that. I can up our security if you think that will make her feel more at ease. Right now, though, it seems like Noah’s past is catching up with him. I don’t think this person is going to come after Carly. If I did, I would have both you and her at a safe house.”

He was worried he needed to shove Shelby in one, and she wasn’t going to like that. How had he started this with the utter certainty that he could handle it? He should have known he wouldn’t last long. In the beginning, he’d been the asshole who thought he could use her for both her investigative skills and the fact that she would be a good shield. Now he was scrambling because the idea that she could be harmed in any way made him crazy.

“I don’t think a bodyguard is going to make Carly feel better,” Bran replied. “She needs to know that someone is still searching for Francine. From what Case has told me, no one’s working on it.”

“The police are certain she’s left the area,” Drew pointed out. “She’s quite good at hiding. She’s done it for twenty years or so.”

“Since when did we let something like that stop us? I understand the police can’t spend all their time trying to hunt down one woman, but I want to know who’s working on it from McKay-Taggart.”

“I’ll have Ian give me a report as soon as possible, but I think we’re going to have to shift some focus for a while until we figure out who’s trying to turn baby brother into roadkill.” He needed to shift the focus of this conversation. Noah was a pain in his ass, but right now he was a good diversion.

“This conversation isn’t done, but I will shelve it while we deal with Noah.” Bran stopped in front of Noah’s door. “He needs to know that you give a crap whether he lives or dies. He thinks you hate him.”

“I don’t know him.” Or anything about him, and that had to change. He’d allowed himself to be distracted with sex and work. He had a cursory report and Shelby was combing through Noah’s e-mails and his files, looking for anything that might tip them off that he was working for their mother. It was a slow process.

“Spend some time with him. Honestly, he reminds me a little of you before.”

“Before what?”

Bran stared at him. “Before the fire.”

Before the fire. Before death and tragedy and horror and loss had changed him. “Try to remember that just because he looks innocent doesn’t mean he’s got nothing to hide. That fourteen-year-old kid you’re comparing him to used to hack government sites to prove he could.”

Bran nodded as he pushed the door open. “Yes, that’s exactly what I meant.
