“Are you sure he’s here tonight?” Chase asked as they arrived in a small, empty office. Damn. He was counting on getting help with those cameras and Blake had assured him his cousin Owen would be sympathetic to their cause.

“Yeah, it’s Friday. He’s scheduled to work every weekend night. It’s our busiest time.” Shelby pulled him inside then let go of his hand. He felt chilled without the contact. “Maybe he’s in the camera room.”

Chase followed her across the short space to another door near the corner. Inside sat a guy with dark hair and broad shoulders, scowling at a wall full of monitors and looking completely bored by them all.

Shelby knocked on the door then flashed her most endearing smile. Chase clenched his fists to keep from pulling her into his arms and carting her off to the nearest available bed, caveman style. “Hi, Owen. Got a minute?”

The dude swiveled in his chair then stood, showing off the impressive height and good-looks all the Rockfords seemed blessed with. “For you Shelby? Always.” His warm brown gaze shifted to Chase and lit with surprise. “Chase Evans? How you doing, my man? So great to see you!”

They shared a brief bro hug before stepping away again. “I’m really good. Thanks for asking. And thanks for giving me the job here at the casino, even if it didn’t work out.”

Shelby gave Chase an irritated look and whispered under her breath, “Do you know everyone who works for Rockford Security?”

Chase laughed. “Only the ones who are related.”

“Which means, yeah,” Owen chimed in, helpful as always. “He does.”

Shelby’s cheeks flushed a delightful shade of rose, and Chase couldn’t help pulling her close once more as Owen continued. “So Chase. Seems you got yourself in quite a pickle right out of the gate. What’s up with that, huh?” He turned to Shelby, his handsome face growing somber. “I’m truly sorry for what happened to your father. He was a good man.”

“Thanks.” She tucked her hair behind her ear and looked away.

She trembled beneath Chase’s arm and seeing her so vulnerable tore him up inside. He gave her a tight squeeze for strength. “Um, you know the police seem to consider me a suspect, right?”

“Yeah, Blake mentioned it. Saw something on the news too. But who believes anything they’ve got to say.” Owen chuckled.

“Don’t let Laura hear you say that,” Chase warned. “She’ll kick your ass.”

“I know, right?” Owen grinned. “So, why am I getting this visit?”

“Well.” Chase tightened his grip on Shelby, more for his own moral support than hers. “I don't trust the police to do their job, so I'm looking for something to clear my name.”

“What can I do to help?”

Shelby looked up then, her expression determined, all traces of sorrow gone. “We need to search Katherine’s condo, without being taped. Can you help us with that?”

Chase smiled, pride welling within him. There was that backbone he admired so much.

Owen took a step back, hands raised. “I did not hear you just ask me that, Shelby.
