Logic warred with instinct. Instinct told her, over and over, that Zach couldn’t be involved—that he was genuinely concerned for his friend. Logic told to her to make sure.

But how? All she’d managed to find out so far was he had been calling a private clinic frequently and very recently. He could have an investment client there for all she knew. She discarded the thought as soon as it popped into her head. Zach had a standard procedure for new clients, one that had always involved her creating a personal file for the client in their computer system. If his calls had been work related, she would have known. Besides, hadn’t he told her only yesterday to mark those calls to his personal expense when she queried them on the call log?

He was up to something. Everything inside her said so. But what was it? His laptop! He carried it with him everywhere. If she could access his computer, she was sure she could find out just what was going on.

Sophie slipped from the bed and grabbed one of the robes off the bedroom floor. She stilled in her actions as Zach muttered something in his sleep and rolled over. In seconds he was breathing deeply again. She walked carefully across the thickly carpeted floor and let herself out of the room.

Where would be the most logical place to look for his computer, she wondered. She hadn’t seen it in the kitchen when they’d been in there, but just off the kitchen was a high-tech den that had looked well used. Since every other area of the house appeared to be in show-home condition, she kept her fingers crossed that when Zach was home he used his den as more of a family room or office.

A trickle of unease ran through her as she made her way down the curved staircase to the ground floor and walked across the tiles toward the back of the house. She was going out on a very shaky limb doing this. Chances were she’d find nothing incriminating at all. At least she fervently hoped not.

Thankful that the outdoor lighting cast enough light through the floor-to-ceiling downstairs windows that she didn’t need to turn on any lights, Sophie made her way through to the den. Long plush sofas faced one another across a large marble coffee table and two deep armchairs were positioned at one end, facing the large-screen television mounted on the wall above the fireplace. It was a cozy room, even in the semidark but, she reminded herself, she wasn’t there to admire the decor.

Her eyes, now well adjusted to the half light, scanned the room. Yes! Right there, on the table, sat his computer. He’d left it open, obviously in a hurry to get back to bed after he’d secured the new passwords on the bank accounts. Had he simply let it go into sleep mode, or had he shut it down completely, she wondered, picking her way through the furniture. She really wanted to get this over with as quickly as possible.
