CHAPTER 14

Crowe forced himself to go to the security room after leaving Amelia. He had to cool down and think before he headed to the spare bedroom where he stored his rifle. The need to take it apart, clean it, ensure it was ready to perform the second the Carter boys left that damned jail, was almost overwhelming.

He’d heard of the three men who never failed to take out their anger on Amelia if they happened to catch sight of her when they were drunk. The same three men who helped her carry her groceries from the market to her car when they were sober. Or who changed her flat tire one stormy night after she left work.

The contradiction in the men had appeased his worry for her at the time. Of course, he hadn’t heard of it happening in the two years since his return. If he had, he would have ensured it never happened again.

Nodding to Cameron, who didn’t appear in the least inclined to sleep, he moved to one of the computers set up to play back feed from the security cameras around the property.

The tall, hard-muscled tech hadn’t been his idea of an electronic security expert when he applied to Brute five years before, but he’d proven himself over the years.

Rough talking, when you could get him to speak, a brutal martial arts gutter fighter, and a damned sap when it came to women and babies, he never failed to keep whatever team he worked with laughing over his protective nature when it came to his computers and the women or children involved in any of their assignments.

“We had a few shadows on camera four while Ms. Sorenson was out of the house,” the tech, Cameron Fitzgerald, told him quietly, toggling between monitors and zooming in and out to check current shadows. “I’m damned sure it was someone fucking with my cameras, but I couldn’t get a clear picture. I marked it on the log and sent it to the gurus at home.”

The gurus at home were Ivan’s top electronic wizards in Manhattan. The security programmers Ivan had pulled in from the vast network of contacts he’d made over the years could do things with security devices and programs that Crowe had sworn couldn’t be done.

Pulling up the recording the other man had marked, he narrowed his eyes on the shadows the cameras had recorded, wondering what the hell was moving in the heavy growth of pine, naked oak, and brush that grew on the perimeter of the yard at the back and sides of the house.

The stone and wrought-iron fence that surrounded the block-size estate did nothing to protect the inner yard, and hampered the cameras set up to watch it.

Seven years ago Crowe had sneered at Wayne’s attempt to ensure no one invaded his property. He’d used the very weaknesses he was now cursing to slip through the trees and make his way to Amelia’s balcony and then into her bedroom and her bed.

He’d invaded not just Wayne’s property, but also Wayne’s daughter, he thought in satisfaction.
