His confused gaze almost brought me to my knees. I could only surmise that what had just happened was a panic attack. Not having seen one before, I didn’t know what to do other than talk to him. I was so glad I was able to usher Mum and Dad through the door before they noticed anything. Dad’s scepticism about Ryan was at an all-time high. Witnessing that would surely have pushed him over the edge, but there was no way I was continuing this bodyguard business without Ryan. I trusted him. He acted a little strange, but I couldn’t and wouldn’t turn my back on him.

“What?” he croaked; he glanced around the hallway again. It had been painful watching him stumble and crawl his way up the stairs. When I followed, he was cowered against the wall, hugging his head and muttering. Then he held his chest and gasped for breath. It was terrifying. More than once I tried to get to him, to wrap my arms around him and hold him, but he was catatonic.

I’d assumed the other night he had said those things about the noises to ease my nerves. I never for one minute thought the noises were really plaguing him.

We were still in the hallway in the upstairs landing. He was sitting against the wall with his massive legs bent and his arms rested over the top. I was sitting opposite with my legs crossed, watching him, waiting for him to gather himself and hopefully explain what had just happened.

“He wasn’t in any of those photos. Everyone from our group was in at least one, except him. He arrived late and he left early,” Ryan mused with a frown marring his features.

“Who?” I asked, not following. I wasn’t sure if he was still in a semi-daze.

“Harry. He was at the club when those photos were taken, but he isn’t in any of them.”

“You cannot be serious.” I laughed at the ludicrous accusation.

“Deadly. He also has access to this house and grounds. “

“So has Alec. Is he next on your hit list?” I snapped.

“Where is he tonight?”

“Unbelievable.” I raised my hands and let them fall to my sides. “He’s at a conference in Ireland remember? You can call his hotel if you like.” Alec would have been here with Dad. He was just as protective of me. He wasn’t seriously giving any consideration it could be Alec or Harry, was he?

“He wouldn’t do this to me.”

“His club is about a ten minute drive. His house is approximately fifteen. He had time to get to each of those locations in the allotted time.”

“How the hell do you know that?” I gasped.

“It’s my job.”

“No, your damn job is to stop this idiot. It isn’t to snoop on my friends.” Ryan simply stared at me unperturbed. “You know him. He wouldn’t do this. Not to me.”

“Then it won’t hurt to eliminate him as a suspect, will it?” Ryan said bluntly.

“This is bloody ridiculous.” I waved my hand to dismiss him and headed to my room.
