Addison watched as Liam’s blue eyes turned so dark, they almost seemed black. “Rear Admiral Isaac Anders?” he asked carefully. They were at yet another house that Conroy had managed to rent, this time on Whidbey Island, on the northernmost tip. They hadn’t told either Stacy Johnson or Si Branson the location, because they thought they had narrowed down the leak to Si’s organization. Conroy had found that his boss had hired two contract employees in the last six months. Conn was checking them out.

“Yes. Do you know him?” Addison asked Liam.

“I’ve had the dubious pleasure.” His voice was soft. “Tell me again what he said.”

Addison leaned back on the beige couch that they were sitting on. Liam casually put his arm across the back, behind her. “First, he tried to cut us down for only working at a state level instead of the federal.”

“He was an ass,” Conroy said as he walked past them on the way to the kitchen.

She nodded. “That about sums him up,” she nodded.

“I’m not letting you off that easy,” Liam said in his low growly voice. He managed to sound protective and authoritative all at the same time. “You need to tell me everything he said to you.”

“He intimated that I did more than just public relations for the congressman, like I had some kind of sexual relationship with him. He asked me how I handled ‘relations’ with the congressman.” Addison used air quotes for the word relations, which seemed to piss Liam off.

“That bastard.” His blue eyes blazed.

Yep, he was pissed.

“I had a thought when I met him.”

“What?” Liam moved his hand just a bit so that it was now playing with her hair. It was getting difficult to concentrate, but she pushed through.

“Anders fits the profile. He has megalomaniac tendencies. He sure as hell thinks that he can get away with anything because the way he talked to me was totally inappropriate and he did it in front of his peers.”

Liam sighed.

“What?”

“Unfortunately, that still happens. How did the others react?”

“Rear Admiral Neville tried to smooth things over. He was really nice.” She called over to Conroy where he was making a sandwich. “What did you think of Neville?”

“He seemed like a good guy.” Conroy meandered over to where they were sitting. She saw him glance at Liam’s hand, but he didn’t raise an eyebrow. “Neville tried to calm down the situation. Bertrum, the base commander, just wanted to get them away from us.”

“What else were you thinking about Anders fitting the profile?” Liam asked.

“I had thought our guy would have a prominent role in the Navy, and he’d have to have enough clout to get his hands-on weapons.” She looked up at Conroy. “Can you check into that? See if he has that kind of authority.”

“He does,” Liam answered.

“You know him?” Addison asked.

“Oh yeah. I know him. He’s worse than an ass. He was willing to let men under his command get killed, all to save face with the suits in Washington.” Addison didn’t think she had ever heard Liam sound so bitter.
