CHAPTER TWELVE

“How’s Zoe doing?” Caleb asked.

“She’s okay, all things considered.” Cell phone pressed to his ear, Sean walked out of his living room and into the adjoining kitchen so he could talk to Caleb privately.

Currently, Zoe was curled up on the far end of Sean’s sofa, legs tucked beneath her, watching the ten o’clock news—though he doubted she was really paying attention to the show. Not only had she had an exhausting day emotionally and mentally, but they had just spent the past few hours talking about what she’d learned of her father’s deteriorating business, his secretary’s mysterious disappearance, and even the attack against Zoe in the parking garage earlier that evening.

“Zoe told me that today isn’t the first time she’s been approached by the man who slashed her tires,” Sean said as he leaned against one of the counters in the kitchen that gave him a view into the living room so he could keep an eye on Zoe. “About a week ago the same guy accosted her while she was shopping with her friend, demanding to know where her father was and letting her know that Russo owed him money. It’s clear that this guy is getting bolder and more hostile with his confrontations and now he knows where she lives.”

“And we’re taking that threat very seriously,” Caleb said, his tone adamant. “Looks like you’ll be on security detail with Zoe until either the guy is caught or things with her father finally get resolved.”

In other words, Sean was now Zoe’s personal bodyguard. “That’s not a problem.” He’d rather have her close by and know that she was safe than constantly worry about her welfare when they were apart.

“I didn’t think it would be.”

Sean wasn’t certain whether Caleb was alluding to something more personal between him and Zoe or if it was just Sean’s own imagination making more of his words, but he certainly wasn’t going to ask. “Look, I need you to contact security at Panorama Towers and find out what kind of video footage they have on the guy on the motorcycle and the attack against Zoe. Hopefully one of the security cameras got his license on tape and we can trace that information through DMV to find out who the bike is registered to.”

“I’ll get Nathan on that first thing tomorrow morning,” Caleb said, giving the assignment to another Reliance Group member who’d been a vice cop and had connections in all the right places.

Sean switched his cell phone to his other ear and continued on, relaying what Zoe had told him about her time at her father’s office and what she’d learned about the failing business. It was information The Reliance Group was already privy to thanks to their private investigators, but it let Caleb know that Zoe was beginning to realize just how serious her father’s disappearance was. She no longer believed Grant Russo was on a business trip, and with George confirming that there was big money missing from the company accounts, there was no denying her father was looking guiltier by the day.
