Chapter Thirteen

“I want a lawyer.” Heather Madding was adamant. “I’m not saying a single word without an attorney present.”

“Oh, good news.” Dex pulled out a chair and sidled closer to her. “I am an attorney, so consider your needs met.”

He was? Lacey shot him a frown. They were in the basement of the lodge, but you’d never know it. The place looked like some sort of interrogation room at a police station—complete with one-way glass along the left wall.

When she’d entered with Dex a few moments before, she’d found Heather seated at a small table. Heather’s hands were cuffed, and an agent—a guy with brown hair and assessing eyes and a posture that said he was always at attention—had stood behind her. Dex had dismissed the guard, and now it appeared that it was chat time.

“You’re not my attorney.” Heather sniffed. “I know my rights. I know exactly what I can and can’t—”

Dex’s laughter cut through her words. “That is adorable.” He looked over at Lacey. “She thinks we’re the police. Maybe Fortune PD?”

“I know who you are, Dex,” Heather fired back.

“Good.” Just like that, his laughter faded. “Then you know I don’t take shit from anyone. You also know there aren’t any rules that I have to follow when I’m questioning suspects, especially a suspect who tried to kill my fiancée.”

Heather’s gaze darted to Lacey. “I didn’t miss.” A pause. “Bulletproof vest?”

“You left me with a bruise,” Lacey told her as she took a seat in the chair across from Heather. “Consider me not amused.”

Heather seemed to weigh her. “You’re not seriously marrying him.”

“I’ve got the ring to prove it.” She lifted her hand. Wiggled her fingers.

“He’s a fucking psycho,” Heather snarled.

Dex sighed. “Words hurt. They hurt.” He leaned closer to Heather. “But you know what hurts more?” His voice had turned dangerously soft. “Being thrown in one of the government’s off-the-books prisons. Being held there for years and years while you’re forgotten by everyone you ever knew. That shit really, really hurts.”

Because she was watching the other woman so closely, Lacey saw the faint tremble in Heather’s lower lip. It was a tremble that was quickly controlled. Heather’s lashes swept down over her cheeks while she apparently mulled things over, and then she tilted her head back as she lifted her lashes and asked Lacey, “When did you meet Roman?”

Unexpected question. “Yesterday,” she responded honestly.

Heather appeared taken back. “But…you…you weren’t with him before?”

With him?

She wasn’t going to touch that question just yet. Instead, Lacey told her, “We have you dead to rights. You shot the agents in the woods. You were apprehended right after you took your shot at me. With or without a confession, you’re going to the prison Dex promised.”

Heather tapped the edge of her cuffs against the top of the table. “It wasn’t anything personal. Just a job.”

I take a bullet to the chest very personally. “Who were you working for?” Lacey asked.

“Nope.” Heather exhaled. “Not going to be sharing that information. I am not going to tell you—”

The door opened behind Lacey.
