Chapter 9

“You don’t have to wait here with me, Shadow. You should be helping Mason find Grant.”

Shadow shot her a look but didn’t bother answering.

She sighed. “Right. You’re on guard duty.” She motioned to the police now surrounded by forensic vehicles. “This place is full of law enforcement right now. I’m safe.”

“And it’s a perfect opportunity for this man to find you. After all, who’d be looking for him this close?”

“A bold move on his part but possible.”

Shadow reached out and pulled the tablet from her hand and motioned at the gathered crowd. “Mason wants you to look these people over and make sure Grant isn’t hiding in the crowd.”

“Oh, I never thought of that.” She pivoted and studied the faces staring at her. “It’s weird to be gawked at like this,” she muttered. “And wouldn’t Grant have run away if he made it as far as the crowd?”

“Maybe, but maybe he’s still looking for a way to get at you.”

His words sent shivers down her spine and made her soul cringe. “He’s the type of guy who would hire someone to murder me,” she said. “And he’s got big money to do it.”

“How do you know?”

“He’s got one of those big fancy watches that looks like a computer in itself. I wanted to see it closer, but it wasn’t something I could really bring up.”

“Is that possible?” Shadow asked. “Not a whole computer surely.”

“No,” she said slowly. “But there are many advances in that field and it did appear to be cutting edge.” She frowned and thought about it more. “In fact, it’s very cutting edge as he likely was wearing a prototype.”

At that Shadow turned to stare at her. “How many companies would have that type of ability?”

“Around the world, maybe a dozen. In this country it’s hard to say as no one really knows what’s in development. It’s all tightly held secrets. But…” She considered the companies she knew about. “Maybe three or four.”

“Names. Let’s see what they are up to and if we can track this guy down.”

“We need his face.”

Dane walked over, a laptop in his hand. “Do you recognize this guy?”

She stared at the grainy image. “Yes, that’s him, at least the same looking hat and sunglasses and face shape,” she exclaimed in delight. “Where did you get that from?”

“The warehouse has security cameras.” Dane gave a nod of satisfaction. “Let’s get this out to all the airports, train and bus stations.”

“He can’t live far away as he mentioned that he should have been home already,” she added. “It’s possible he’ll try an alternative location, but he wasn’t about getting his hands dirty and neither is he about suffering.”

“So why was he here himself if that’s the case?” Shadow said. “Surely he’d have more men with him?”

She shrugged. “I think Farrow and Michelson were supposed to be his men here. Although there could be more around. There was a lot of gunfire,” she admitted. “But maybe this was a private deal he didn’t think would blow up.
