SEVENTEEN

Madison ducked out of the light rain beneath an overhang a block away from the downtown high-rise apartment building. While she wasn’t completely convinced that Jonas’s contact was right in his assumptions about the photo, she did agree that it was worth following up on. Plus, she hadn’t missed the fact that Jonas’s mood had lightened with the lead. Finding their fugitives might not bring back Felicia, but it would go a long way in serving justice in a horrible situation.

“I have two confessions,” she said as they walked toward the lobby doors. “When I was looking for a house a few months ago, I took a tour of one of the apartments on the twenty-second floor here. What I didn’t tell them was that the only thing I could afford was a studio on the first floor.”

Jonas let out a low laugh. “And your second confession?”

“I might be slightly jealous of those who can afford the penthouses. Okay, more than slightly jealous.”

“If it gives you any consolation, I think your place is beautiful. Especially with all the changes you’ve made. And it fits you far better than a ritzy apartment building.”

“You’re probably right, but do you know what these places offer?”

“I’ve never had the official tour, but I bet I could make a pretty educated guess.”

She stopped in front of the glass doors to the lobby. “There’s a rooftop space with an outdoor lounge, a fitness center, a yoga studio, and if that isn’t enough, there’s a 24/7 concierge in case you need, I don’t know”—she waved her hand in the air—“an ice cream delivery at 2:00 a.m.”

“How often do you need ice cream delivered at 2:00 a.m.?”

She shrugged. “That’s not the point. I’m just saying that you could, if you wanted to. And on top of that, the views are incredible.”

“I get it, but you chose the wrong career path if you expected to be able to afford that. Or you’re going to have to marry up in the world. Way up.”

“Maybe that’s not a bad idea.” She shot him a smile as he opened the door. “The view might be worth it.”

She stepped inside the well-lit lobby with its tiled floors, rich wood accents, and long reception desk. To the right were two elevators, available only to those with a key card. Madison flashed her badge at the concierge, who looked half-asleep.

“Dylan,” she said, reading his name tag. “I’m Deputy US Marshal Madison James and this is my partner, Deputy US Marshal Jonas Quinn.”

“Okay . . . Is there a problem?”

Jonas showed him a photo of Nadia and Jesse on his phone. “We need to know if you’ve seen this couple come through the lobby.”

“Even during a night shift you’d be surprised at how many people come and go.” He leaned closer, then shook his head. “But I don’t recognize them. Sorry.”

“What about Zac Cannon? He lives on the seventeenth floor.”

“I know who he is. Is he in trouble or something?”

“We just need to ask him some questions.
