Calum

“How did he get the information?”

I know I’m roaring out the question as my IT director cowers, but this isn’t something to take lightly. Chet texted me about information he shouldn’t have. No one who isn’t me, or my inner circle, should have it. He did it to taunt me, and it had the desired effect.

“That’s what we’re trying to figure out. There is no trail on the servers, so whoever did it, had to have been good. Or maybe…are you sure it happened, Calum?”

“I was texted the info.”

“Yes, but are you sure it was a hack, and not an inside job?”

I lean back in my chair, the fight gone from me for the moment. “No. I’m not sure of anything right now.”

“Do you want us to initiate bag checks?” the head of my security team asks.

“Yes. And I also want all visitors vetted. Anyone I haven’t invited will have to be approved, so they’ll have to give us at least 24-hour notice.”

“What about the visitors who’ve come in today.”

“Comb the feeds and see if anything is passed off to them. If it is, I want it checked against what should be going out. If someone’s passing on my secrets, I want them found.”

“It will require more manpower.”

“Do it,” I tell him before turning back to my IT guy. “And you had better strengthen our systems.”

“I told you— “

“I don’t give a fuck what you told me. Information got out of this building one way or another, and nothing else better get out. Your assurances that our firewalls are enough is not making me feel any better. I want concrete proof that this won’t happen again.”

“Fine. I’ll have my team go over everything again.”

I don’t say anything else to either of them, because there’s no need. They’ll either do their jobs, or I’ll find someone else who can do them better. I’m fighting with everything I have to keep Chet at bay, and I won’t stand for someone on the inside undermining everything I’m doing.

As they walk out, my phone buzzes. I pick it up, and my mood lightens a little when I see that it’s Rhieve. “Hey, gorgeous.”

“Hi Cabe.”

There’s something in her voice that makes me sit up straighter. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. It’s just…I wanted you to know…I’m, um, going to a party with the twins tonight.”

“No.”

“I wasn’t asking,” she says, her voice stronger now.

“Dammit, Rhi. I can’t leave London right now.”

“I didn’t ask you to. Darcy’s here, and there’s a plan.”

“Where’s the party?” I ask, dreading the answer, because I’m pretty sure I know.

“They haven’t told me yet. They’re having me meet them somewhere. They said they’ll text me cross streets later.”

“Please don’t do this.”

“I have to. You know that.”

“Can you bring a date?”

“I thought you couldn’t leave London.”

“I can’t, but Guil can go with you.”

There’s a sigh. “No, he can’t. How would that look for us if your best friend and I appear to be having sex?”

“How the hell is it going to look for you to go in there alone?”

“I’m going to wear my ring, and just observe.
