Chapter Seven

‡

Wynn tossed Annamae her phone. Her real phone this time. Not a throwaway.

“Take this, get dressed and get into the room I showed you. It’s safe in there. You can watch what happens on the screens.”

Her movements were shaky, but she was already in her t-shirt.

“Do you know how to get in there? Will I be able to get back out?”

“Yes to both.” His tone was even, but the lines on his face had reappeared. He pocketed his phone and checked the clip on his 9mm. “Take Bagel with you.”

“It’s probably just someone from the media.” Annamae wrapped a blanket around her shoulders and followed him downstairs, the rest of her clothes tucked under her arm. “Right?”

“Probably.” He ground his teeth together. Hoped like hell it was just someone looking for Annamae and not him.

And if they were looking for Annamae to get to him? Wynn’s brain blanked like a TV channel that wouldn’t come in.

“Be safe,” she told him, kissing him on his cheek and catching him off guard with the unexpected tenderness.

When had anyone ever looked out for him?

Even his partner had been trying to make the big bust, risking his ass to make the collar and not to protect their cover. And that guy had gotten paid to protect Wynn.

“You too.” He gave her a gentle shove into the safe room, stepping behind her to check the security cameras for a direction to go in.

Both their eyes went to the wall of video screens to see a woman in a white BMW and a pink short sleeve suit at the back entrance of the farm.

“Oh God.” Annamae gripped the wall. “It’s my mom.”

“Your mother?” Wynn swore while he shut off the alarm. “Where is the camera entourage? I thought your family normally travelled with a photo crew.”

He checked all the other cameras. Pressed a button for more angles on each, sweeping the road and the rows of trees.

“I don’t see Josephine—the woman who usual tapes my mother’s scenes.” Annamae shook her head, her hair tangled all around her, looking so damn sexy, so damn perfect. “Mom hasn’t gone anywhere by herself in years.”

“It’s your call as to what happens next. Do I let her in and risk her telling someone where you are? Or do you want to go out and convince her to go away?” He knew that wasn’t really a choice. Annamae could get hurt if she went out there and the gates were being watched. “Never mind. I’ll go get her.”

“I’ve had my cell turned off. I swear.” She showed him, her hand shaking. “She’s probably been calling. I could phone her and let her know I’m okay. She doesn’t have to come inside the gate.”

“No. Keep the phone off. It’s better not to risk it.” He backed out of the safe room. “I’ll be back with her soon.”

Annamae nodded, the furrow deepening between her brows as she picked up Bagel to keep her vigil over the video feeds.

Jogging out of the house and leaping into the truck, Wynn hoped he wasn’t screwing up left and right.
