Quinn got in touch with his associate, gave him a brief rundown of what they were dealing with, and then wheedled and cajoled until Fred Delmore gave in and agreed to help.

“I do more work for you than myself,” Fred complained as Quinn watched Rowan change into her new dress so they could disembark for dinner. “You’re a lot of work for a dude who is supposed to be in charge.”

Quinn rolled his eyes. “It’s one search, Fred. There’s no reason to whine.”

“I’m not whining.”

“See, from where I’m sitting, it sounds a lot like whining.”

“Then perhaps you should move your chair.”

“I’m liking my view a lot right now,” Quinn said as Rowan leaned over to fasten the buckles on her shoes. “It’s very … pretty.”

Rowan realized Quinn was talking about her and sent him a wicked smile over her shoulder. Fred, who could see nothing, read his friend’s voice perfectly.

“You’re not alone, are you?”

“What?” Quinn forced himself back to the here and now. “What does that have to do with anything?”

“You’re with your pretty girlfriend,” Fred teased. “I liked the photos you sent to me, by the way. She’s quite the looker.”

“She is quite the looker,” Quinn agreed, smirking when Rowan’s cheeks flushed with color. “She also knows we’re talking about her and she’s all kinds of embarrassed.”

“I prefer women who don’t get embarrassed,” Fred noted. “They’re more willing to do lewd and outrageous acts if they don’t have the embarrassment gene.”

“And on that note … .” Quinn made a clucking sound with his tongue.

“Yeah, yeah.” Fred turned serious. “I’ll run the name, but odds are I won’t have any results for you until tomorrow at the earliest.”

“I figured that would be the case. It’s fine. We’re going out to dinner tonight anyway. Then, tomorrow, we’re going to see the location of the ship find for the first time. I’ll have a lot on my plate.”

“Does that mean you don’t want me to put a rush on the search?”

“No, I definitely want you to put a rush on it,” Quinn countered. “I can’t shake the feeling that something odd is going on here.”

“And it doesn’t help that this Nicholas Green fellow is interested in your woman.”

“No, it doesn’t.” Quinn smiled at Rowan as she grabbed her purse from the bedside table. She was ready, which meant it was finally time to spend some quality time together. “See what you can get me. If it’s something big, send a text on my phone. I’ll have it with me.”

“I’ll do my best, but like I said, I don’t expect to start getting the early stuff until tomorrow. The stuff from the deep run will probably take even longer than that.”

“Do your best.”
