Late the next morning, Olivia glanced around the breakfast table at her companions. She held her cell phone in one hand. “You’re sure about this?” She hoped they wouldn’t back out, but to be fair she had to give them the chance to change their minds. They were getting ready to walk into a very dangerous—maybe even deadly—situation. She had no right to ask it of them, yet she knew they were her only hope.

If they decided not to help…She didn’t even want to think about what that would mean for her.

“Make the call.” Sully leaned forward and took her left hand in his.

“Aye.” Declan reached out and pulled Pelicia closer to him, the legs of her chair screeching against the tile floor. He twined his fingers through hers, grinning at the shake of her head. “Ryder’s e-mail last night said he managed to book a flight out of Heathrow this morning. It’s roughly a fifteen-hour flight. With just the one layover, he should be in tonight around five-thirty.” He tipped his chin toward the cell phone in her hand. “Call Miles and tell him the news.”

Olivia nodded and took a deep breath, holding it in for a moment. After she exhaled, she punched in Eddy’s number and brought the phone to her ear. It was answered on the second ring by a deep, melodious voice with an Hispanic inflection.

Olivia tightened her fingers on the phone. “Hello, Rico. It’s Liv. Let me talk to Eddy.”

“Por qué, chica?”

She’d long ago ceased to find anything even remotely sexy about his deep, accented tones. Rico was almost as slimy as Eddy. As far as she was concerned, that took away any positive appeal his dark Latin good looks might have otherwise held. A pretty face didn’t make up for a black soul.

“I have news for him, and I don’t have a lot of time.” She made sure to keep her voice hushed and put as much urgency into it as she could. “Come on, Rico. Put him on the line.”

“All right, all right. Hold on.”

She heard a rustling noise as he transferred the phone to Eddy, then Eddy’s voice came on the line, hard with displeasure and impatience. “Livvie? You’d better have good news.”

“I do.” Olivia bit her lower lip. Please, God, let this work. Now that she had him on the line, all she could think about was her daughter. “Let me talk to Zoe. Please,” she tacked on, not wanting him to interpret it as a demand, though it was.

“Give me your news first then I’ll determine if it warrants a reward.”

She swallowed and crossed the fingers of the hand Sully still held. “I’ve been trying to get close to Sullivan to find the opportune moment to strike.” She met Sully’s gaze and inwardly winced at the sympathy she saw in his eyes. God, when he found out she was the one who’d turned him…She blinked and pushed that thought away. She’d deal with that later, once she had Zoe safe and sound.
