CASH HAD TAKEN a turn holding Abby so that Renee could get a break. He’d even convinced her to take another nap on the sofa in Colton’s office.

Gert knocked on the door, waking her.

“Kipp McGee is waiting to enter the interview room,” she said. “There’s a shortcut from my office across the courtyard. It’ll be faster than circling around and we can get you in place before McGee is walked back.” Colton was already at the door by the time Renee pushed up with her free arm.

She reached for her daughter and Cash brought her over immediately. Cash remembered when his nephews were around that age. They didn’t seem heavy until he’d been carrying them for an hour. Then they became like lead weights in his arms. He’d offer to continue to carry Abby if it wasn’t for the fierce look of determination on Renee’s face. He understood her need to keep her daughter close. Hell, he didn’t blame her one bit. The thought of having her little girl ripped out of her arms after she’d bonded with her was unimaginable.

Cash was familiar with the shorter path his brother took them on.

“I’ll close the door,” Colton said after stopping in the hallway to let them pass by to take position.

After thanking his brother, Cash leaned against the wall. He studied Renee, who looked exhausted. “Can I get you a chair?”

“That would be so nice.” Her demeanor had changed and he noticed her shoulders were starting to sag. There were also dark circles under her eyes and she bit back a yawn. They could get through this one interview and then he’d offer to take her back to the ranch to get a break from his brother’s office. Cash wanted to chew on the details of what they knew. Taking the rest of the night off would give Colton and his deputies a chance to dig deeper into the case.

Investigations took time. He had no idea if the Hubert case was connected to Renee’s. Answers weren’t likely tonight and especially now that resources would have to be reallocated to Ms. Hubert’s place. And then there was all that was happening at home. Cash wanted to check on his mother and see how she was holding up.

A quick run next door and he netted one of the chairs from a conference room. He placed it directly in front of the two-way mirror a few seconds before he heard noise coming from down the hallway. He made a quick move to close the door, guarding their identities from her lawyer.

It was probably for the best that McGee didn’t know his former client would be watching. Although, he might suspect someone was. This wasn’t his first time in an interview room from the news Cash had read over the years. He’d heard the man’s name mentioned repeatedly, but the two had yet to meet and a charge had yet to stick.

Kipp McGee wasn’t the crisp-suit type that Cash had expected to see.
